Manager - Recording the Events
Recording is performed by the MANAGER during a profile execution:-
- Events transmitted from AS-INTERFACE can be recorded under their native
format (binary structure) in a protocol file whose name has to be specified
in the profile file.
- Statistics events can be generated and recorded in a statistics file
whose name has to be specified in the profile file.
- A protocol filter can be defined by its name, and thus the associated Record
filtering specifications applied.
- If no file is mentioned, all the events are recorded in the protocol event
file.
- If a statistics event file is generated, it is advised to define a
statistics filter file name for the associated Record filtering specifications
to be applied (protocol interpretation and counting operation).
Recording is independent of the simulation or analysis operation.
The Record action is applied according to the Recording mode
parameter defined in the profile file:
- Overwrite mode: Upon launching a profile, the event file is
created. If a file with the same name exists in the current directory,
its content is overwritten and replaced by the events from the current
profile being executed.
- Append mode: Upon launching a profile, the events are appended
after the events recorded in the file (if it already exists in the current
directory) during the execution of a previous profile.
- Circular mode: Upon launching a profile, the events are recorded
as in the Overwrite mode (any previous content is overwritten).
When the file size reaches the size specified in File max size,
the new events are recorded in place of the older ones. At the end of
recording, the file contains the most recent events independently of
the recording duration.
In Overwrite and Append modes, when the File max size is
reached, the profile execution and thus the recording ends.
Application: chained profiles with overwrite mode
Chained profiles are defined with different event file names.
The Overwrite mode enables recording in each event file of the relevant
events generated during the execution of each profile.
A few basic rules must be complied with:
- The Overwrite mode must be selected.
- The event file names must be different.
- Use of the Next profile field.
Application: chained profiles with a single event file in append mode
Chained profiles are defined with an identical event file name.
The Append mode enables recording in the same event file of all the
events generated in sequence during the execution of the different profiles.
Several basic rules must be complied with:
- The Append mode must be selected.
- The event file names must be identical.
- Use of the Next profile field.
Application: chained profiles with different event files in append mode
Chained profiles are defined with different event file names.
The Append mode enables recording in each event file of the relevant
events generated during the successive executions of each profile.
Several basic rules must be complied with:
- The Append mode must be selected.
- The event file names must be different.
- Use of the Next profile field.
