Using the Map Profiler

The profiler can be configured and started from the Performance interface using the Map Designer, or from the command line using the dtxprof utility command.

See the Map Designer documentation for information on how to use the map profiler in the Map Designer GUI.

See the Utility Commands documentation for information about how to use the map profiler from the command line, outside the Map Designer GUI.

The map profiler is an important tool to assist you in improving the performance of your maps and achieving your performance goals.
