Analysis Results view

The Analysis Results view shows and manages collected traces.

The main features of the Analysis Results view are: organizing logic of trace and profiling results, enable/disable links towards profiling viewers, save/rename/delete results, expand all/collapse all results, and refreshing the view.

From the menu bar, select Window > Show View > Other > Software Analysis > Analysis Results to view Analysis Results view.

Note: You can also press Alt+Shift+Q, Q to open the Other Views dialog box and select Software Analysis --> Analysis Results view.

The Analysis Results view pops up and gets focus after successfully collecting a trace. It does not refresh automatically. Click the Refresh button in the Analysis Results view to update the links to view the profiling trace data. The following figure shows the Analysis Results view.

The data in results table is organized (from top to bottom) in the following manner:

Platform Configuration: Name of the platform configuration file used to collect the trace result.
Data streams: The data source from where the trace was collected. For example, it can be ETF 0 or ETF 1.
Result sets: Lists the collected trace data.

The Analysis Results view allows to perform the following actions:

Table 1. Analysis Results Toolbar
Button	Description
Refresh	Refreshes the view and rescans all output folders for trace and analysis results
Expand all	Expands all nodes in the tree
Collapse all	Collapses all nodes in the tree
Select custom results folder	Allows to select a custom folder to scan for trace results

Apart from the above described toolbar actions, the context menu also allows to perform the following actions for a selected trace result:

Rename: To rename the selected trace result
Save: To save the selected trace result. The save function creates a copy of the selected trace results with an index appended to the name. By default when a new trace is collected it receives the name of the project from where it was collected. If there is already a trace with that name, it is overwritten.
Delete: To delete the selected trace result.

The Analysis Results view can also show the results from more folders. Each platform configuration available in .metadata/.plugins/com.freescale.sa/platformConfig/ folder is checked for the path specified towards the set of results. All sets of trace and profiling results found in those paths will appear in the Analysis Results view. All the trace results available in workspace/.AnalysisData are displayed in Analysis Results view.

To configure the view to display trace data of another custom results folder that does not belong to any platform configuration inside the workspace:

Click Select custom results folder option available on the Analysis Results view toolbar.
The Custom results folder dialog gets displayed.
Click Add.
The SA Results Folder Selection dialog opens.
Browse the location of the required custom folder.
Click Ok.
The path to the custom folder for which the trace needs to be collected gets added under the Path field.

To configure the results folder for a platform configuration, specify the Results folder location available in the Trace Configurations dialog box as shown in the below figure. The collected trace using the Platform configuration will be saved in the specified folder.
