conserve memory

[MICHAELZUBKOV]

Hi,

How can I work OTFR with conserve memory but produce Report in the chronological order?

Now, when I use conserve memory the Report is not in the correct order.

A subsequence is reported before the sequence.

Thanks.

Michael,

I understand how this behavior can be frustrating. We are aware of the problem and are working to fix it in a future version of TestStand.

Hi MICHAELZUBKOV,

The conserve memory option in TestStand 2010 SP1 and previous, causes different behaviour when saving to HTML or ASCII file formats. In the TestStand Reference manual it is documented that this is known behaviour. This is what it says:

"When you enable the Conserve Memory and Only Display Latest Results
option for HTML and ASCII reports, on-the-fly reporting periodically
purges internal data structures. As a result, the report TestStand displays in
the Report pane of the Execution window shows only the results for the
steps on-the-fly reporting has not yet purged. The persisted temporary and
final report files contain all the step results. For these files, the step results
for Sequence Call and Loop Result steps appear after the corresponding
Sequence Call and Loop Index step results, respectively."

Please refer to the TestStand Reference manual for additional details . Currently there is no work around for this behaviour. It was however updated in TestStand 2012 so that it no longer occurs. I hope that this answers your questions.

Regards,

Perry S.
