# What's New: Analyze Performance Issues with Scheduled Profiles (2024 release wave 2)

> Scheduled profiles in Business Central (2024 release wave 2) capture performance profiles automatically in the background based on rules, including for web service calls. The video demos setting up a profile schedule and analyzing the captured results, and contrasts this with the interactive in-client profiler.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qt0Zy9ZsRo) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2024-10-08 · 11:40 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The video recaps the in-client performance profiler introduced in 2022 release wave 1 and shows its limits: capture is interactive, needs the user to cooperate, and cannot cover web service calls or background sessions such as job queues. The presenter then introduces scheduled profiles, which capture profiles non-interactively in the background according to defined rules. The release is described as introducing scheduled profiles, with a preview disclaimer.

The demo covers opening the Profile Schedules page, creating a schedule, performing tasks, and reviewing the results on the Performance Profiles page. Results look the same as in the in-client profiler, with technical information and call tree analysis. The video says the feature mainly targets consultants and support, and mentions opening Visual Studio Code from the web client to inspect code.

## Key points

- The in-client profiler is interactive only: it cannot profile web service calls or background sessions like job queues, and needs the user to help capture the profile.
- Scheduled profiles capture performance profiles automatically in the background based on defined rules, and support both user actions and web service calls.
- A profile schedule sets: enable/disable, start and end times, user selection, profile type (browser activity or background tasks), sampling frequency, activity duration threshold, and retention period.
- The activity duration threshold defines how slow an activity must be before profiling starts; the demo lowered it to 100.
- Captured profiles are saved on the service and kept for a configurable retention period before deletion.
- The Performance Profiles page lists all captured profiles; opening profiles from a specific profile schedule filters them to that schedule. The results view matches the in-client profiler, including call tree analysis.
- The video says the feature mainly targets consultants and support.
