Question about Profiler

Hello,

I'm dealing with serious performance issues at the customer site.
I heard about the progress profiler and tried this.
The files are produced but i'm having trouwbled with the profiler control tool (can be found on psdn). This program reads the output files and interprets them. First of all is the tool not working properly. I get 2 errors when opening (7351 and 10068) but it still opens. The running time that is shown on top sais: 0,5... but te run took minutes... Also i can't find any info about what took long.
Does anybody has a working tool or knows how to read the output files to determine where the big problems are?

Thanks a lot for your help!

best regards,

Elise
 
Some specifics about your environment would be helpful.

The profiler tool is a GUI tool. It is very focused on short single user sessions. IMHO it is an interesting demo of what the profiler can do for you and it might even be helpful for a developer looking at a very specific bit of code. I do not, however, find that tool especially useful when looking at a real performance problem in a production setting.

For that you need to think a bit about the problem and possibly roll your own tools. Some years ago I wrote an article about the subject: Investigating Suspicious Code that you might find helpful.

You might also find it helpful to engage an experienced consultant ;)
