Open a Result as a Read-only File in Visual Studio

Note

This topic applies only to the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE. Alternatively, you can also take a snapshot of the active result and save it as a read-only result using either Visual Studio or the Intel® Advisor GUI.

To open a previously collected result file as a read-only file when its corresponding Visual Studio* Solution is not open:

To Do This Do This

Open a result from the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE.

Before opening the Solution, from the Microsoft Visual Studio* File menu:

  1. Choose Open > File.

  2. In the Open File dialog box, browse to and double-click the Intel® Advisor result file (file suffix .advixe). By default, Intel® Advisor results are saved in the ennn.advixe file in project name directory in the solution or project directory.

Note

This action launches the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE if it is not already open.

Open a result from the Windows* Explorer (or comparable) environment.

From the Windows* Explorer (or comparable) environment:

  1. Open the Windows* Explorer (or comparable) environment.

  2. Browse to and double-click the result. By default, Intel® Advisor results are saved in the ennn.advixe file in project name folder in the solution or project directory.

Note

This action launches the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE if it is not already open.

Verify that the result is open as a read-only file.

A result opened as a read-only file contains (read-only) after its result name.

View a specific report for the result

Each result contains several different reports. To view a specific report, click the button for the report you want to view, such as Survey Report, Suitability Report, or Dependencies Report.

When opening a result as a read-only file, you are only viewing the previously collected data as a read-only file. The following limitations apply:

  • The Annotation Report window does not contain any data. To view the Annotation Report, you need to open a result after opening its Solution.

  • The Suitability Report window shows data, but you cannot change the modeling parameters, such as the Target System or the Threading Model.

  • If you modify your sources or Intel® Advisor annotations, you need to open the solution to collect data and perform analysis (see Opening a Result) to update the result and view Annotation Report data.
