[News.eclipse.test-and-performance] Re: problems with profiling tools

["Samson Wai" <samwai@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

The log didn't show any error in it. Although we haven't tested Agent
Controller on Windows XP SP2, I have heard from many that the built-in
firewall causes a lot of trouble with networking application. Do you have
Windows built-in firewall (or any other firewall software) enabled on your
machines? I have run some testing on an SP2 machine and Windows poped up
some dialog asking whether I should let "Agent Controller" and "Java
Launcher" to access the network and I clicked "Allow" for both. After that I
have no problem connecting Eclipse workbench to the Agent Controller. If you
say that you can run the PerfmonAgent successfully, it shows that the
connection between Eclipse and Agent Controller is good. There should be no
problem with the serviceconfig.xml file. Otherwise, RAServer won't start at
all. Also, I am assuming that you have both Eclipse and Agent Controller
running on the same machine.

On another topic, "-XrunpiAgent:server=standalone" mode profiling does not
use the RAC at all. It will just write to a trace file "trace.trcxml" and
you can later import this file into Eclipse for viewing.
"-XrunpiAgent:server=controlled" mode will load the java program but not
running it until the java profiling agent is attached and monitored by
Eclipse workbench. "-XrunpiAgent:server=enabled" mode is like the
"controlled" mode except that it will start running the java program and let
Eclipse attach anytime it wants.

BTW, since you are running under the 852 code page, do you have any
non-ASCII character in your classpath anywhere? There was a bug in Hyades
3.1 that it cannot handle non-ASCII paths correctly and was fixed in the
latest Hyades 3.2 driver. It would worth trying to change the code page to
437 and rerun the SetConfig.bat scripts just to confirm that it is not some
encoding problem with the config file - and of course you will need to
restart RAServer.
