Exporting to HTML or XML

 

Exporting sessions allows you to use external tools to analyse or view session data for whatever reasons you might need.

 

You can export to HTML or XML format:

 

menu File menu instructionStep Export Session... instructionStep Choose HTML Report or XML Report instructionStep shows the Export Session dialog below

 

 

Exporting is not saving

 

You can't import session data.

 

Use save and load if you want to save session data for loading back into Thread Validator at a later date.

 

 

The Export Session dialog

 

The Export Session dialog looks very similar to the Save Session dialog, except there are more options enabled.

 

export-session-dialog

Critical sections and waits will be exported automatically. The following additional information is optional

 

•Allocated/Entered instructionStep object types specified below that have been allocated or entered

File section

 

Specify the output destination and format:

 

•File instructionStep type the filename or Browse to a location

 

•Format instructionStep set whether exporting HTML or XML

 

Defaults to the menu option selected, but included here to more easily export one format and then the other.

 

•Encoding instructionStep set whether UTF-16 LE, UTF-8 or ASCII encoding. By default the exported file is saved in the Windows Unicode format UTF-16 little endian. You can also save in UTF-8 and ASCII. ASCII has no byte order mark at the start of the file.

Check the overwrite existing file option if you want to be warned about overwrites.
