Control Monitoring tab

The Control Monitoring tab lets you select the types of dynamic objects you want to monitor. The following figure shows the Control Monitoring tab.

Figure 21. Dynamic Object Tracking dialog box with Control Monitoring tab

The Control Monitoring tab contains a treeview control that displays the types of dynamic objects you can monitor, organized within object categories. The following list shows the dynamic object types you can monitor, as they appear on the Control Monitoring tab:

Table 13. Database Objects
QUERY (excluding query handles for static queries)	BUFFER (excluding buffer handles for static buffers)
TEMP-TABLE (excluding table handles for static temp-tables)	DATASET
DATA-SOURCE	–

Note: BUFFER-FIELD objects are not listed, since an application has no control over their creation or destruction.

Table 14. User Interface widgets
BROWSE	BROWSE-COLUMN (excluding handles associated with static browse objects)
BUTTON	COMBO-BOX
EDITOR	FILL-IN
FRAME	IMAGE
MENU	MENU-ITEM
RADIO-SET	RECTANGLE
SELECTION-LIST	SLIDER
SUB-MENU	TEXT
TOGGLE-BOX	WINDOW

Table 15. XML Objects
SAX-ATTRIBUTES	SAX-READER
SAX-WRITER	SOAP-HEADER
SOAP-HEADER-ENTRYREF	X-DOCUMENT
X-NODEREF	–

Note: SOAP-FAULT and SOAP-FAULT-DETAIL objects are not listed, since an application has no control over their creation or destruction.

Table 16. Other Objects
ASYNC-REQUEST	CALL
CONTROL-FRAME	MEMPTR (any memory allocated for a MEMPTR)
PROCEDURE (excluding handles, such as THIS-PROCEDURE, for non-persistent procedures)	SERVER
SERVER-SOCKET	SOCKET

Note: For more information on these dynamic object types, see OpenEdge Development: ABL Reference.

To expand a category node, click the plus sign (+) next to the node. To collapse a category node, click the minus sign (–) next to the node.

You can select all object types within a category by selecting the check box at the category node level, whether or not the node is expanded. You can also select one or more individual object types within a category, after you expand the category node, by:

Selecting the category node check box, which selects all object types within that category, and clearing the check box for each object type you want to exclude

Clearing the category node check box, which clears all object types within that category, and selecting the check box for each object type you want to include

To begin tracking the creation and destruction of the object instances for the object types you selected, click the Start Monitoring button. Then, use the View Objects tab to monitor the active object instances. An active object instance is an instance of a dynamic object the application has created, but not yet destroyed, since you started or restarted monitoring.

QUERY (excluding query handles for static queries)	BUFFER (excluding buffer handles for static buffers)
