Saving Data from the Command Line

Related Topics

When you save data from the command line, Quantify collects and saves performance data without displaying any data analysis windows.

To save data to a Quantify data file (.qfy), use the /SaveData command-line option. For example:

quantify /SaveData=myapp1.qfy myapp.exe

By default, Quantify saves data in Exename.qfy.

To save data to an ASCII text file (.txt), use the /SaveTextData command-line option. For example:

quantify /SaveTextData=myapp1.txt myapp.exe

By default, Quantify saves text data in Exename.txt.

Notes:

§      When you save data to a .qfy file, Quantify saves the base dataset, any settings and dataset operations in effect, and information about how data was displayed. When you open the file, Quantify reapplies the settings, dataset operations, and views to the base dataset and displays the data as it appeared when you last saved the file.

§      When you save data to a .txt file, Quantify saves the current dataset and details about the run in tab-delimited format. Save the data to a .txt file to use with test harnesses, scripts, or other applications, such as Excel.

§      You can use the /SaveData and /SaveTextData commands together to generate both a Quantify data file and an ASCII text file. This is useful when you want a .qfy file to analyze using the Quantify user interface and a text file that a script can parse.
