Troubleshooting Performance Issues

When your application is in a production environment and you discover it is not performing at the level it was when you recorded your benchmarking results, you need to perform a diagnosis to locate the problem.
Enterprise Developer provides a number of tools that can help troubleshoot performance issues:
The Profiler tool
Profiler is a facility that enables you to obtain detailed statistics on the run-time performance of a COBOL program. If you used the Profiler during development, you can compare results, to pin-point potential bottlenecks.
The Consolidated Trace Facility
The Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF) is a tracing infrastructure that enables you to produce diagnostic information of Micro Focus software components and your own programs.

There is also a detailed guide Enterprise and COBOL Troubleshooting Enablement Pack, that can help you set recommended tracing levels and interpret diagnostics.
