Information about JProbeTM from Sitraka is available at http://www.quest.com/jprobe/.
After JProbe is installed using the following instructions, its libraries are loaded into the server process.
Install JProbe 3.0.1.1.
For details, see the JProbe documentation.
Configure Enterprise Server using the Admin Console:
In the developer profile, select the Enterprise Server component and the JVM Settings tab. In the cluster profile, select the JVM Settings component under the relevant configuration. Then select the Profiler tab.
Edit the following fields before selecting Save and restarting the server:
Profiler Name – jprobe
Profiler Enabled – true
Classpath – (leave blank)
JVM Option – For each of these options, select Add, type the option in the Value field, then check its box
-Xbootclasspath/p:JProbe-dir/profiler/jpagent.jar
-Xrunjprobeagent
-Xnoclassgc
If any of the configuration options are missing or incorrect, the profiler might experience problems that affect the performance of the Enterprise Server.
When the server starts up with this configuration, you can attach the profiler.
