Profiler usage as described below is Obsolete in 2.9.04 on-wards

Profiler is replaced by automatic statistics which are dumped to MINE and APPLY log file regularly. There is no need to setup or enable profiler anymore. Commands which can be used to dump statistics on-demand to process log file:


dbvrep> dump apply profiler

dbvrep> dump mine profiler

dbvrep> dump mine memory_accounting

dbvrep> dump apply memory_accounting


Dbvisit Replicate can collect profiling or performance statistics information which will assist Dbvisit support to diagnose performance issues.
