For native-compiled applications using selective instrumentation, an instrumentation state that causes a module to be replaced by an instrumented copy. The original, uninstrumented backup copy of the module is not restored until you manually change its instrumentation state, restore the module, or delete it from the module list.

Even when you are not running programs in Rational Runtime Analysis tools, a call to a module in the permanent instrumentation state will cause the Runtime Analysis tool that instrumented it to load and begin collecting data for the module.

Selective instrumentation states are supported for native-compiled (unmanaged) code only.
