Fail to profile remote java app using TPTP

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to profile CPU usage using TPTP. Application to profile run on Linux RH AS5. I installed and configured Agent Controller like described here

I ran the java application using the command

java '-agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone,file=log.trcxml;CGProf' MyApp

The monitoring station is All-In-one TPTP version 4.6.2. I followed the stepes described here

on Eclipse - on the "Profile Configuration" I choose a new configuration for "Attach to Agent", set the host to my remote linux machine where MyApp is running, test connection succeed and when I get to the "Agents" tab, I see "Pending...", a background process "Feching children for host" is running and can't find anything which makes it impossible to profile.

Any idea?

I also have the same problem... Server and client are Ubuntu 9.04 desktop, just using remote attachment because tomcat is external to Eclipse

You have to run the Agent Controller on the java application in server mode. Currently your command runs it 'headless' and writes it to a log file. The website you linked has a list of the various options for the server parameter.

java '-agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=enabled;CGProf' MyApp
