Example 1

This example provides the name of the trace file for which a performance analysis model is to be built:

Profiling lpro_model

String ls_line

lpro_model = CREATE Profiling

lpro_model.SetTraceFileName (filename)

ls_line = "CollectionTime = " + & 
		String(lpro_model.CollectionTime ) + "~r~n" & 
			+ "Num Activities = " & 
			+ String(lpro_model.NumberOfActivities) + "~r~n"

lpro_model.BuildModel()
