Related Topics

1.    Select the Data Browser window whose data you want to save.

2.    Open the Save Copy As dialog box.

3.    Type a file name, or select a file from the list to overwrite an existing file.

4.    Purify lists the file types available for the data you are saving. Select a file type:

 

Purify Error, unfiltered (*.pfy)

Saves all error data in a binary file, including any Error View messages you filtered out.

Purify Error + Coverage, unfiltered (*.pcy)

Saves all error and coverage data in a binary file, including items you filtered out.

Purify, filtered (*.pfy)

Saves error data in a binary file. Does not include any Error View messages you filtered out.

Purify Error + Coverage, filtered (*.pcy)

Saves error and coverage data in a binary file. Does not include any Error View messages you filtered out. Includes all coverage data.

PureCoverage (*.cfy)

Saves coverage data from Auto Merge or Merge runs in a binary file.

Memory profile (*.pmy)

Saves all memory profiling data in a binary file.

Text, expanded (*.txt)

Expands all Error View messages and saves the data to an ASCII text file. Does not include source code. Also saves all coverage data.

Text, view (*.txt)

Notes:

§      You can also copy and paste specific lines of text from a Data Browser by selecting the information and selecting Edit > Copy, and then pasting it into a text file.

§      Save data to a .pfy, .pcy, .cfy, or .pmy file to compare the results from one run with the results of subsequent runs, and to share the data with other Purify users. Save the data to a .txt file to use the file with test harnesses or scripts, or to share the file with colleagues who do not have Purify.

§      If you try to close a run that contains unsaved data when Warn on unsaved data is selected in the Workspace tab in the Preferences dialog box, Purify asks if you want to save the data. If you try to exit Purify and one or more open runs contain unsaved data, and Warn on unsaved data is selected, Purify displays the Unsaved Data dialog box. Select the runs for which you want to save data and click OK. Purify then displays a Save Copy As dialog box for each selected run.
