Periodical Thread Dump
Logging periodical thread dumps is a built in feature of SmartSVN to track well reproducible, pervasive performance problems. To investigate a problem using periodical thread dumps, do the following:
- While SmartSVN is running, locate the settings directory: invoke Help|About SmartSVN and check the Information page for the settings directory (Settings Path).
- Shutdown SmartSVN (use Project|Exit and afterwards make sure that no more SmartSVN process is running).
- In the settings directory, open
smartsvn.properties(create this file if necessary) and add following line to enable the Debug menu:
smartsvn.debug=true
- Remove all
log.txt.*files from the settings directory. - Startup SmartSVN.
Now, if the slow operation is not locking the GUI (so you can still invoke menu items):
-
- Trigger the slow operation.
- Invoke Debug|Create Periodical Thread Dumps.
Otherwise, if the slow operation is blocking the GUI, perform these steps in the reverse order:
-
- Invoke Debug|Create Periodical Thread Dumps.
- Trigger the slow operation.
Then:
- After at least 10 seconds, shutdown SmartSVN again.
- Compress all
log.txt.*files from the settings directory as a zip or tar/gzip archive and send this archive, as well as a short description of how to reproduce the problem, to [email protected].
