Invocation Tree View

The Invocation Tree view shows a top-down call tree that represents how XSLT instructions or XQuery expressions are processed.

The entries in the invocation tree include a few possible icons that indicate the following:

  • - Points to a call whose inherent time is insignificant compared to its total time.
  • - Points to a call whose inherent time is significant compared to its total time (greater than 1/3rd of its total time).

Every entry in the invocation tree includes textual information that depends on the XSLT/XQuery profiler settings:

  • A percentage number of the total time that is calculated with respect to either the root of the tree or the calling instruction.
  • A total time measurement in milliseconds or microseconds. This is the total execution time that includes calls into other instructions.
  • A percentage number of the inherent time that is calculated with respect to either the root of the tree or the calling instruction.
  • An inherent time measurement in milliseconds or microseconds. This is the inherent execution time of the instruction.
  • An invocation count that shows how often the instruction has been invoked on this call-path.
  • An instruction name that contains also the attributes description.
The Invocation Tree view also includes the following contextual menu actions:
