Re: Is it possible to profile service fabric applications?
Unfortunately, that is NOT the solution. It is only an explanation for why it does not work. It is not possible to run Service Fabric applications from AQtime. Service Fabric applications must be executed by the service fabric, but once they are running, there is a process that can be attached to. Are there plans in the works to enhance AQtime to support profiling .NET applications via attaching to the process? Dennis2.8KViews1like1CommentRe: Is it possible to profile service fabric applications?
Response from SmartBear: Note that there is a known limitation of the Attach To Process feature of AQtime: >>> If you attach to a .NET or Java application, AQtime will not analyze managed code in this application; only unmanaged code will be profiled. For example, by attaching a profiler to a managed application, you can profile native-code DLLs used by that application. <<< That is, if your application contains mixed code (or it is a pure .NET application), then you will be able to profile only its unmanaged part. To overcome the limitation, run the application directly from AQtime. If you need to configure any specific environment settings to start the application under AQtime, use the Run Parameters dialog (Run | Parameters...). This does seem to explain why I got no results.2.8KViews1like2CommentsIs it possible to profile service fabric applications?
I attempted to profile a service fabric application running on a local cluster. To do so, I started the service fabric application in my IDE (Visual Studio 2017) then detached the debugger, thus allowing me to attach to the process with AQtime. However, when I tried to "Get results now", I got nothing -- no information whatsoever. I added the path to the PDB files into the Project Search Directories dialog and tried again. Still nothing. Surely it must be possible to profile service fabric applications, but is there some unusual trick to it? Thanks, Dennis Jones2.8KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Automated Build Studio on Server 2016
I was able to work around the problem and install ABS 6.6 on Windows Server 2016 by opening the self-extracting archive (AutomatedBuildStudio660.exe) with 7-zip, then extracting and running the MSI file (SmartBear Automated Build Studio.msi) by hand.4.7KViews2likes0CommentsAutomated Build Studio on Server 2016
Has anyone successfully installed ABS 6.60 on Windows Server 2016? When I try, ABS complains that .NET framework 2.0 is not installed. I have installed the .NET 3.5 feature (which includes .NET 2.0) from the server manager under "roles and features," but ABS still says .NET 2.0 is not installed. I tried installing the .NET framework 2.0 separately, but the installer does nothing (won't even run). Any other suggestions? DennisSolved4.7KViews0likes2CommentsDLL module not always loaded
Hi, I am testing some code via a unit test DLL, using NUnit. The unit test exercises code in another module. I have included both the unit test DLL and the module to be profiled in my AQtime project. Normally, when I do this, I get all the results I expect. However, in this particular case, when I test a function, the DLL I want to profile is not getting loaded (I can see that it is notably missing in the Event View panel). However, if I test a different function, then the DLL is loaded, and then unloaded afterward (which I see in Event View). Why doesn't my DLL just always load, and stay loaded, so I can get profiling results from it? What can I do to resolve this? Thanks, Dennis2.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: ABS discontinued
From http://smartbear.com/products/software-development/software-release-management : "We will not build any new features into ABS, but honor the maintenance of all existing features with the same commitment and enthusiasm we’ve always displayed." Really? Then when can I expect an answer to my question?1.9KViews0likes0CommentsABS discontinued
I realize ABS has been discontinued, but why is there no forum where people can continue to ask questions and get answers? Since there is no ABS forum, where do I ask questions about it? I guess I'll ask here: I would like to be able to determine which SVN path triggered a task. Is there any way to do that from within a macro? I want to be able to invoke a sub macro based on the SVN path, but I do NOT want to create a new macro and a new task every time a new branch is created in the repository (which is what I have been doing for the past three years, and it is a pain in the you-know-what). I would rather invoke a single, common macro that can invoke a submacro that will always exist in the same location in every branch, and let that submacro vary by branch so I don't have to keep tweaking a top-level macro to support every possible branch -- that's just crazy. Thanks, Dennis2KViews0likes2CommentsNo results after program terminates
AQtime Pro 8.20.960.7 I am not getting any results when my program terminates. I have tried the Allocation Profiler and the Performance Profiler, with the same result. I *can* get resutls if I click the "Get Resutls Now" link while the program is running, but that's uesless for the Allocation Profiler. Why can I get results when I click "Get Results Now", but do not get anything when the program terminates? Dennis4.1KViews0likes2Comments
