Test Stand Report Security

[BillHH]

I am looking for ways to incorporate some level of security for Test Reports produced by Test Stand, such as making the text files read-only for example.  From what I can determine there is no in-built security options for Test Reports.  How would Test Stand then be used in a Part 11 compliant enviroment?

In order to change the ReadOnly attribute from TestStand, the file must be completed (closed). 

We do some similar post processing of the Report File (HTML) by renaming it to prepend the number of errors in the file, but this does require that the Report File be completed and closed.  In order to accomplish this we use a "Main Test" sequence that lists all of the test subsequences to be run.  The Main Subsequence call step uses the "Run Sequence in a new execution" (created as a custom step).  Each test therefore generates it's own HTML report file.  Post Processing for that sequence from the "Main Test" then calls a step that renames the file.  You could do the same thing only to change the Attributes to Read Only.
