Step 5: Profile a ManualAction Workflow

The next part of this tutorial illustrates how to profile a workflow ManualAction.

1. In Waveset, select Server Tasks -> Run Tasks, and then click ProfilerTutorialWorkflow2.

   After a few moments, an empty form displays.

2. Click Save and the process diagram displays.

3. Select Server Tasks -> Run Tasks again.

4. Return to the Waveset IDE IDM Profiler view and click the Reset Collected Results icon in the Profiling Results section.

5. Now click ProfilerTutorialWorkflow2 in Waveset.

6. When the blank form displays again, click Save.

7. In the IDM Profiler view, click Take Snapshot.

   After a few seconds, a snapshot should display in the Call Tree area. You should see that /idm/task/workItemEdit.jsp took six+ seconds. (This result corresponds to the manual action in the workflow.)

8. Expand the /idm/task/workItemEdit.jsp node and note that running all Derivations in the ManualAction form took a total of six seconds.

9. Expand the Derivation, displayNameForm, variables.dummy, and <block> nodes.

   You should see that the <block> took six seconds and, of that time, the Profiler spent two seconds in each of the three invokes to the ProfilerTutorialExample.example(). method.

10. You can double-click <block> to view the source.
