Manager - recording the events
The 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 profile launching, the event file is created.
If a file with 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 profile launching, 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 profile launching, 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
thus 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.
