When JProfiler is started, the start center window appears.
The start center is composed of four tabs:
- Open Session
All sessions configured by you or the pre-configured demo sessions can
be started by double clicking on a session or by selecting a session
and clicking [OK] at the bottom of the start center. In addition,
sessions can be edited,
copied or deleted by using the buttons on the right
hand side of the dialog or by invoking the context menu.
- Quick Attach
Use the "Quick Attach" tab to
profile a JVM that is already running.
After the session is finished, JProfiler will ask you whether you want to save
the session permanently. The option "On another computer" on that tab will
help you to use the "jpenable" command line tool to prepare a remote JVM for profiling.
- New Session
Sessions can be created in several ways:
- By manual configuration
Use the [New Session] button to
manually configure a
new session. After you finish configuring your session, it will
be started.
- Through an integration wizard
Use the [New server integration] button to invoke the
integration wizard
selector. The [New remote integration] and
[New applet integration] buttons are convenience shortcuts.
After you finish configuring your session, you can either start the session
immediately or the "open session" tab will be displayed with the new session
selected.
- Open Snapshot
Previously saved sessions can be
opened from this tab by selecting Open a single saved snapshot and selecting the desired
*.jps file. Also, you can select "Compare multiple snapshots" to create
snapshot comparisons.
When you choose not to open a profiling session for an empty window and exit
the start center by clicking the [Cancel] button, all of
JProfiler's views are disabled and only the general settings
(Session->General Settings) and the
Session and Help menus are enabled.
