The method for splitting the trace dump file is different, depending on the output file produced.

Splitting an SCI dump file

In most cases, you must split the atlout.spt trace file into several files for use with each particular Report Generator or the product GUI.

To do this, you must have a working perl interpreter. You can use the perl interpreter provided with the product in the /bin directory.

To split the trace file:

  1. Use the atlsplit tool supplied in the /bin directory of Test RealTime :

atlsplit atlout.spt

 

After the split, depending on the selected runtime analysis tools, the following file types are generated:

Splitting a JVMPI trace dump file (Memory Profiling for Java only)

  1. Run the studio GUI with the following parameters:

studio <jpt file> <txf file> <tpf file>

 

After the split, depending on the selected runtime analysis tools, the following file types are generated:
