Hello All.

 I have a simple question.

Can I stop the teststand from create a temp file when I click the viewer to view the test result?

This function leave trash in the test result.

Thanks

Hey TP,

 

To help answer your question, I'd like to clarify a few things first:

 

1. Could you tell me exactly what you're clicking on to view the test results? A screenshot might be helpful, as well.

2. Are you generating your results as a report, or writing to a database?

3. Do you know where it's storing the file, and what the name of that file is?

4. Could you show us a screenshot of what the trash in the test result looks like?

 

I'm not sure what the  temp file could be, but it shouldn't be affecting your test results, so we should be able to figure out what's going on there. If you can reply with the answers to those questions, I'm sure me or another community member will be able to help more.

Hello

 

1./Here is the Viewer buttonButton.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and here is the temp file

 

Temp.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the view button create a temp report every time I use it.

The test results is a text file will be pull Up to data base

the file name is making a remote pulling data process confused.

-I just want to known if there is a way for not create the temp file in the test data folder

or at least create the temp file in a designated folder rather than the test result folder.

Thanks

Hi,

 

as i know there is no way to aviod the creation of the temp file.

every time when Report.Load/Save is called ( normally in the model) the tempfile is created.

 

 

I just did a small workaround.

In the ReportObject there is property GetTempFileDirectory.

With it you can specifiy a special folder which is seperated from the "released" uut reports.

Now  i am able to avoide conficts with the Temp-reports.

 

Hope this helps
