I have finally generated a zipped xml file. I'm not sure what was needed, I put the flag at 3 different places and restarted my desktop.
However, it doesn't pass validation of the DTD provided here: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/resources/profilingspec/t race.dtd.html <http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/resources/profilingspec/ trace.dtd.html> So I deduct from this that it's not an open official supported format, probably deprecated. What I want to do is to create profiling information in my application without any third party library, save it in a format readable by TPTP tools, then use the tools for reporting, aggregating, and others. The most popular use case is that everybody use thread dump to find bottleneck in the application, I don't mean here locking and deadlock, but the most popular code, the slow code. If we could convert thread dump to a format readable by TPTP then we would have a way to profile a production application without any extra jars, just doing many thread dump at certain intervals.

Hi, .trcbin extension was once used for binary profile file when TPTP was in transition from xml to binary format. The .trcxml file generated by data collector(eg server=standalone) or UI should now in binary format (zipped in UI use case). To activate the XML format, you will have to restart the Eclipse workbench and any data collector (ACServer.exe) that is running.

I tried both without success, but maybe if it's OS, I need to restart the system. So what is the expected format of the following extensions if .trcxml is already two kind of formats depending of an environment variable? 1- .trcxml 2- .trcbin From: tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev-boun...@eclipse.org [mailto:tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev-boun...@eclipse.org <mailto:tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev-boun...@eclipse.org> ] On Behalf Of Eugene Chan Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 4:00 PM To: TPTP Tracing and Profiling Tools Project developer discussions Cc: tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev@eclipse.org; tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev-boun...@eclipse.org Subject: Re: [tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev] How to generate XML profilecompatible with trace.dtd? Hi There is an optional environment variable TPTP_OUTPUT_FORMAT that you can set (TPTP_OUTPUT_FORMAT=xml) to configure the collector to output the trcxml file in zipped xml file format.

When I go to the open a profile dialog I have choice of two extensions: *.trcxml *.trcbin The difference seems to be that .trcxml is in xml and .trcbin is in binary format. Then when configuring a Java Application running Profile, in tab Destination, the file dialog show only .trcxml, so I choose this. However, when the file is created during a Java profiling session, the file is binary. I need to be able to generate and read readable format. Blackbox binary files are not easy to integrate with.
