Re: Profiling RPGLE programs

Performance Explorer (PEX) data will show that...

Carsten provided a link...

The iDoctor tools provide and much nicer GUI into the collected PEX data...

We once found a program taking 30% of our CPU (across 30K users...)

PEX was used to provide the following
"Statements that use the most CPU in BADPGM are the following:
79100, 79400, 79700, 80000, 80300, 80600.
Next busiest statements are:74700, 75200, 75700, 76200, 76800, 77,300, 78700
"

Took maybe an 1hr to fix (%trim() was being used repeatedly) during the
next scan BADPROGRAM wasn't using enough CPU to show up...

I haven't seen the code yet. I was hoping to get a histogram type view of
the hot spots.

I normally eyeball the code, identify likely culprits and have it write to
the joblog. I iterate thru that process until I narrow down the cause.

Subject: Profiling RPGLE programs



I have a request from a sister division to look at (and, hopefully
improve) a program that is VERY long running - like 2 days long.



My first thought was I need to know the hot spots in the program but, in
all my years on this platform, I've never needed to profile a program.



Does anyone have any tips, a simple cheat sheet, or primer on the steps
involved?



Thanks!
