Discard excess Memory Profiling data, Workspace tab, Preferences Dialog Box (Memory Profiling)

Select to have Purify automatically discard the aggregate run data – shown as images\navexit.gif in the Navigator – after each program run. After a program has exited, only snapshot images\navsnap.gif and diff entries images\navdiff.gif for the run will be displayed in the Navigator. If no snapshots were taken during the run, all data for the run will be discarded.

If you choose to have Purify retain aggregate run data, the dataset for each run appears as a run entry images\navexit.gif in the Navigator, followed by snapshot and diff entries for the run.

Notes:

§      In the Navigator, each run, snapshot and diff entry represents a separate dataset which Purify keeps in memory until you either close the run, snapshot, or diff, or exit Purify. Since you normally use snapshots and diffs to perform your data analysis, you can conserve Purify memory by having Purify automatically discard the unneeded run dataset.

§      If you don't want to have Purify automatically discard the run datasets, you can discard them manually by double-clicking the run images\navexit.gif in the Navigator and selecting File > Close, or by right-clicking the entry and selecting Close from the shortcut menu.
