ATprofiling

Dear All,
I have been advised to do an execution time profiling of my program
using the AT profiling parcels...

the problem is that those parcels seem corrupted. I have even
downloaded again VW NC, and the problem remains the same ("unable to
read the file" message in the Parcel Manager).

Furthermore (or because of that ?) the "Tools -> Advanced" menu stays greyed...

Any idea ?

thanks
Paul

Re: ATprofiling

I don't see any problem with them in a 7.4.1 NC distribution. Is it possible your VisualWorks home directly is set incorrectly, so it's looking for them in the wrong path.

I would suggest opening a File Browser and trying to load the file from there (they would be in $VISUALWORKS/advanced).

Maybe your installed VW is too far down in the directory
hierarchy. Here's what happened to me, on an earlier
version of VW. I could see the files in the file system,
but the parcel loader would not show them (or maybe I could
see them, but not load them). I eventually moved the
directory higher up (i.e. closer to the root directory,
so the full path name is shorter). I think I had to somehow
specify the new location.

Re: ATprofiling

Thank you very much,
it was actually the case. With the VW directory closer to the root, it
seems to work.

Re: ATprofiling

I've answered to quickly...I succeeded in loading all the
"AdvancedTools" parcels, except for the "ATProfilingUI". I don't
understand why, as they are in the same folder.
I can neither install the "ADvanced2" parcel.

The consequence is that now, the menu "Tools->Advanced" works, but not
the submenu "Time"...

The VW directory name could not be shorter, I set all the parcel path
and directory names carefully...What can I do ?
I am working on mac osx, maybe that could explain this ?

Maybe try a fresh image - just to be sure that
nothing had been cached.

I run on Windows, and don't have a Mac. So I can't
help there.
