However, archiving does not occur in one or more of the -following circumstances: - -@itemize @bullet - -@item -If the profiled application is terminated before it exits normally. - -@item -If a running process is profiled. - -@item -If archiving is explicitly disabled when profiling. For example by using -the @samp{-a off} option on @command{gprofng collect app}. - -@end itemize - -In these cases, @command{gprofng archive} must be run manually and on the same -machine where the profiling data was recorded. - -Archiving of experiment data during the data collection process can be quite -expensive. Especially if the experiment has many descendant processes. -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-a}} -@end ifclear -In such cases, a more efficient strategy is to use the @samp{-a off} option -when collecting the data. Once the collection has completed, the data can be -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-s}} -@end ifclear -archived using the @samp{-s all} option. This saves all executables and -source files in the experiment. - -If during the archiving there is an error message that an executable, or -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{addpath}} -@end ifclear -source file cannot be found, the @samp{addpath} command to add the path -to the missing file(s) can be included in the @file{.er.rc} file. -After this command has been added, archive the experiment again. The -archiving archiving can be repeated as many times as necessary to archive all -files. - -Archiving should be done on the same system as was used to collect the -experiment. If some files cannot be accessed from this system (e.g. sources -or object files), then additional archiving can be done using another system -that can access them. For example, the system where the application was built. - -Some Java applications store shared objects in jar files. By default, such -shared objects are not automatically archived. To archive shared objects -contained in jar files, make sure to include the @samp{addpath} command in -an @file{.er.rc} file. -The @samp{addpath} command should give the path to the jar file, including -the jar file itself. The @file{.er.rc} file should be saved in the user home -directory, or experiment parent directory. - -@item -Archiving of application sources - -By default, application source files are not archived in the experiment. -Execute the @command{gprofng archive} command with the @samp{-s all}, or -@samp{-s used} option on each experiment to store source files in the -experiment. - -@item -Automatic archiving of application sources - -Environment variable @samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE} may be set to automatically -archive sources when the experiment has completed. This environment -variable can contain @samp{-s} and @samp{-m} arguments, as pairs of -argument and options, separated by one or more blanks. -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Environment variables, @code{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE}} -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-a}} -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-m}} -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-s}} -@end ifclear - -If more than one @samp{-s} argument appears on the command line, the -last one prevails. If @samp{-s} is both passed on the command line, and -set by the environment variable, the option from the environment variable -prevails. - -Note that in case automatic source archiving during data collection has -been enabled using either the @samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE} variable, or the -@samp{-a src}, or @samp{-a usedsrc} option, it is recommended to confirm that -source files have been correctly resolved by executing the -@command{gprofng archive -s all}, or @command{gprofng archive -s used} -command. - -@item -The @samp{-d} and @samp{-r} options are mutually exclusive. -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-d}} -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-r}} -@end ifclear - -@item -When using the @samp{-d} or @samp{-r} option, environment variable -@ifclear man -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-d}} -@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-r}} -@IndexSubentry{Environment variables, @code{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE_COMMON_DIR}} -@end ifclear -@samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE_COMMON_DIR} can be used to specify the location of -the common archive. This can be very convenient when using a script to -profile applications. - -@item -If more than one @samp{-s} option is given on the command line, or -specified in the environment variable, the specified option for all must -be the same. If not, @command{gprofng archive} exits with an error. - -@item -This tool does not work on experiments recorded with earlier versions of -the tools.
