Importing part of a kernel trace into the Application Profiler

The IDE lets you import only a portion of a kernel trace into Application Profiler; however, you can also continue to import the entire kernel trace, if required. When you use the import action from the System Profiler editor, only the portion of the kernel trace that is currently selected will be imported into the Application Profiler. This means that the Application Profiler only considers a single process from the trace; it chooses the process that is associated with the binary selected by the user.
To import a selected portion of the kernel trace into Application Profiler:
  1. Highlight an area in the Timeline view.
  2. Right-click and select Open with QNX Application Profiler.

    Timeline view menu: Open QNX with Application Profiler

    After you select the menu option, the Import dialog is displayed.
