Importing system performance data files

About this task

This task describes how to import some system performance data files created by the tprof system profiler on AIX or OProfile on Linux. Only XML format .etm, .etz or .opm files normally created with tprof -X, opreport -X, or opreport --xml can be imported. Since system data files do not contain all the information normally collected for an Activity functionality may be limited.

Procedure

  1. Select File > Import from the main menu.
  2. In the Import wizard select Performance Advisor > System Performance Data File and click Next.

    The Import performance data file wizard wizard will open.

  3. Select Local file or Remote file and type or browse to select the system data file.
  4. Select the project that will contain the imported Activity.
  5. Click Finish when done.

    The newly imported Activity will appear in the Performance Explorer under the Import node.
