Launching Application Diagnostics

To launch application diagnostics:

  1. Click the Navigator icon Navigator icon, and then under Monitor and Explore, click Application Diagnostics.

    • A pie graph depicts the distribution of artifacts in the application. The lower grid represents the integrity of all application artifacts. A status of fair and poor indicate artifacts that you should or must modify for optimal performance.

    • To analyze specific types of artifacts, such as forms, select the slice for the type within the pie graph. For example, to ensure that business rules are designed well and will not cause performance issues, click the Business Rules slice of the pie graph. If a large portion of the graph is fair or poor, you should modify your rules. More information about all artifacts of that type display in the grid below.

    • To "cherry pick" and analyze one particular artifact, expand Search to find the artifact by specifying its name, start date, end date, and type, select the artifact, and then click Go icon. Information about the artifact displays in the lower grid.

    Tip:

    For information about what the pie graphs display and how to drill down to access more information, see Using Application Diagnostics Graphs.

  4. Click Run Application Monitor icon or select Actions, and then Run Application Monitor.
  5. If the View Details column doesn't display in the grid, select View, then Columns, and then View Details. This also enables you to display or conceal different types of artifact data.
  6. To display information about how to fix artifacts, click Show Details icon in View Details. Then click artifacts to launch editors that enable you to modify them.
