What are two types of Guidewire Profiler?

TheGuidewire Profileris a powerful diagnostic tool used to analyze the performance of Gosu code, database queries, and rule execution within the application. It helps developers identify bottlenecks by providing a detailed breakdown of where time is being spent during a specific operation.

According to the "System Health & Quality" training, the Profiler is categorized based on how the profiling data is captured and viewed. The two primary types areEntry-pointandWorksheet.

Entry-point Profiler (Option B):This is used to profile a specific "entry point" into the application, such as a Web Service call, a Batch Process, or a specific PCF Page load. When a developer enables an entry-point profiler, the system records every operation (Gosu execution, SQL query, etc.) that occurs from the moment the entry point is triggered until it completes. This is essential for diagnosing high-latency API calls or slow-running background tasks.

Worksheet Profiler (Option D):This type is accessible directly within the application UI via the "Worksheet" (the slide-up panel at the bottom). It allows a developer or tester to profile their own current session. By clicking "Enable Profiler" in the worksheet, the developer can perform a specific action (like clicking a button or saving a claim) and immediately view the performance trace once the action finishes.

Options A (Exit-point) and C (Database Performance) are not standard names for the Profiler types in Guidewire. While the Profilermeasuresdatabase performance, it is not a "type" of Profiler itself. Understanding the difference between these types allows developers to choose the right diagnostic tool depending on whether they are troubleshooting a user-interface issue (Worksheet) or a systemic back-end performance problem (Entry-point).
