How can I reduce the amount of text the ASCML prints to a console window?

The Benchmarking Agent which comes with ASCML uses all my CPU time, why that?

How do I link JADE Platforms?


Question:
How can I reduce the amount of text the ASCML prints to a console window?

Answer:
The ASCML as well as JADE may produce a lot of output in the Java-console. Some of these messages are important, some are only for debug-purposes. If you want to reduce the amount of console-messages, you may either do this using JADE's RMA or providing the ASCML with an additional startup-parameter.

In the second case you simply have to add an argument log-warning or log-info'' to the startup-parameters.

For example call:

jade.Boot ASCML:jade.tools.ascml.launcher.AgentLauncher(log-warning)

to only have warning- or error-messages on the console and to omit the whole debugging-output.


Question:
The Benchmarking Agent which comes with ASCML uses all my CPU time, why that?

Answer:

As of march 30 2005 the GUI in CVS should not show this behaviour anymore.

The GUI is the culprit and I don't know if that can be easily changed. There is however a disk writer handler which dumps the acquired data to you harddisk. It uses considerably less resources. Example:

 <agentinstance name="Bond" type="SecretAgent">
   <tooloption type="benchmark" enabled="true">
     <property name="handler">jade.tools.benchmarking.handler.FileWriter</property>
   </tooloption>
 </agentinstance>


Question:
How do I link JADE Platforms?

Answer:
In the RMA window click "Remote Platforms" -> "Add via AMS AID"
Enter the ams AID as the name e.g. "ams@pippin:1099/JADE"
Add an MTP to the Adresses e.g. "http://pippin:7778/acc"
Click OK
Done
