Configuring Profiling
Use
Profiling enables you to examine diverse aspects of a VM Container application. You do this in the configuration for the profiling session.

Procedure
...
1. Call up the VMC system administration (transaction SM53), and choose Profiling on the left-hand side in the navigation tree.
2. Configure your profiling session. There are various ways of doing this:
○
You can create a
new session and set all the analysis parameters: Creating and Starting
New Sessions. You can display
the analysis parameters for an existing session by selecting the session, and
choosing 
Display Analysis Parameters.
○
You can copy the
analysis parameters from an existing session. To do this select the session, and in the upper menu
bar choose 
Copy Analysis Parameters, or choose New Session with this Template. The same dialog box appears as when you create a new
session, but the one here has the settings copied from the session you
selected. You can change the
analysis parameters and save them for reuse, as you can with newly created
parameters.
3. Run the application for which you want to perform profiling.
4.
Close your
profiling session by selecting the running session and choosing 
Close Session. Data
collection for this session is stopped, and the session goes from status 
Session Not Stopped to
status
Session Stopped.
Note that a profiling session must always be closed explicitly. It is not automatically closed when you leave the profiling transaction (SM53). This means a running session can also be closed when transaction SM53 is called again later.
Running or stopped sessions can be closed, evaluated or deleted equally by all users in an application server (provided they are authorized to use SM53).
5. Evaluate your profiling data: Evaluating Sessions
