After you have created a trace file, the easiest way to analyze it is to use the profiling tools provided on the Tool tab of the New dialog box. There are three tools:
The Profiling Class View shows information about the objects that were used in the application
The Profiling Routine View shows information about all the routines (functions and events) that were used in the application
The Profiling Trace View shows the elapsed time taken by each activity in chronological order
Even if you want to develop your own analysis tools, using the profiling tools is a good way to learn about these models and about profiling in PowerBuilder. When you are ready to develop your own tools, see “Analyzing trace information programmatically” for an overview of the approaches you can take.
