Using the Profiler to Troubleshoot Performance
Problems
Identity Manager provides a Profiler utility to help you troubleshoot performance problems with
forms, Java, rules, workflows, and XPRESS in your deployment.
Forms, Java, rules, workflows, and XPRESS can all cause performance and scale problems. The

you to determine if these forms or workflows are contributing to performance and scale problems
