OTX Profiler

The OTX Profiler enables the runtime behavior of an OTX procedure to be analyzed on any target system. Special, implicit log entries are created in the OTX logging file for this purpose, see OtxId logging in OTX Logging.

Note: The runtime behavior is only slightly affected.

Step by step

Procedure to turn on profiling on a target system:

1. Turn on implicit OTX-ID logging
   The implicit OTX-Logging for the OTX-ID must be activated on the target system.
2. Create log file
   Execute the relevant OTX procedure on the target system and create the log file.

3. Load created log file in OTF Profiler
   Open the OTF with the appropriate solution and load the generated log file in the profiler window, see image.

   

4. Analyze Profiling Results
   A table containing the profiling results is displayed, see image. By sorting the appropriate columns, the profiling results can be analyzed, for example by sorting the "Mean Duration" column. By double-clicking on a line, the associated OTX activity is displayed.

Note: In order not to burden the target system, the LogLevel should be as low as possible and not larger than Info. Recommended: Error.

Note: If the Profiler window is not visible, it must be turned on in the Display menu.

Note: When profiling, the project loaded in the OTF should be identical to the executed project.
