Coordinated Task Sequence Profiler

Hi all,

This CTS_Profiler library (v6.0 only) will help you efficiently troubleshoot complex task sequences (coordinated and preemptive with callsubtask). It is based on Brandon Peterson's TS_Profile library (http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...ead.php?t=1079). Likewise, this library allows you to explore task sequences of any task executer object from its properties window. That was an excellent idea by Brandon. On the other hand, this CTS_Profiler library has a very simple gui and some enhancements that help you easily track and inspect the chain of activities undertaken by a task executer (see attached pictures). This is particularly usefull for coordinated task sequences. The library can be used in basic or advanced configuration mode. This is described in the help (see help tab in the first picture) available when the library is installed.

Your comments are welcome,


Normand

---------------------------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL:
- unzip the file CTS_Profiler.zip in your model folder
- load the library from within Flexsim
- drop the CTS_Profiler object onto your model then reset your model
- double click any task executer object and look at the "task" tab

HOW TO UNINSTALL:
- delete node /Tools/ModelLibraries/CTS_Profiler from your model tree
- save and reopen your model. There should be no trace left of the library.
- delete dll folder from your model folder

NOTES:
The library is coded in Flexscript except for two commands that need to access data structure of task sequences. These two commands are coded in c++ and therefore would require you to compile your model. To avoid this, both commands have been moved into a dll file included with the zipped library. This dll file is in a folder that should be copied into your model folder. This is done automatically when you unzip the library in your model folder.

Hi. Normand.

Your TS Profiler help my TS study.
But it will be good if it has the queue list to show the TS generation and disappear like the old TS profiler.

I want to know when TS is created and disappear in TS Queue.
Your profiler show all behavior related with active TS but do not show the not related TS creation and disappearance in only TS not CTS.

When testing dynamic TS creation and disappear, the feature should be needed.

Thanks.

Syseo,

The feature is already there. Just read the help tab beside "In Progress" tab for instructions on how to activate TS and CTS queues tabs. I hide them to keep the interface simple and clean for most users.

Hi. Normand.

Your CTS profiler has some problem of not completely uninstallation after using it.
After uninstall your CTS profiler from nodetree and delete all related folder, when re-open the model and click reset & running it, it still tells 'Note: before performing this action, it is recommended that you compile first....." through message window.

It is very troublesome.
Of course, after it compiled, it runs good. But it not hopeful to use it.

I think some trace to be left somewhere after uninstallation as your help file.

What's the problem?
