Importing performance data

You can obtain data for performance analysis of a distributed program by importing trace files (trcxml files) that contain performance data, one file for the server and one for the client.

Prerequisite: The trace files must contain data collected using Tivoli ARM data collector, which is available, along with documentation for its use, in the IBM Rational Performance Optimization Toolkit for Rational Performance Tester.
To import trace files:
  1. From the Software Development Platform menu bar, click File > Import.
  2. Select Profiling file, then click Next.
  3. In the Import window, enter the name of the trace file that contains the server data.
  4. Specify the name of the Project and Monitor to which you want to import the trace file.
  5. Click Show full data (execution flow graphical details), then click Finish.
  6. Repeat the same steps to import the trace file that contains the client data.
You can now analyze this data in the Performance Call Graph and Method Detail views.
