The XML tags used to export session data from Performance Validator are outlined below.

 

This information may be useful to reformat the details for use in another tool or application. Alternatively if you need a custom HTML format, you can first export the XML and use that to generate the HTML.

 

Application and program details

 

An exported XML file starts with a few details about Performance Validator and the target program:

 

<XML>

<VALIDATORINFO>Performance Validator information online</VALIDATORINFO>
<VALIDATOR>Product name</VALIDATOR>
<VALIDATORVERSION>Version</VALIDATORVERSION>
<VALIDATORDATE>Build date</VALIDATORDATE>

<TITLE>Target program name</TITLE>
<EXITCODE>Program exit status code and description (if collected)</EXITCODE>

<INFO>Information about the report type</INFO>
...

 

Performance data

 

The header information above is followed by a series of Performance Data tags containing the statistics that were selected for export.
