Importing a File

Importing a File Using the Graphic User Interface

You can import a tuning file to the current or a new project.

To import a file from the graphic user interface:

1. From the File menu select Import....
   The Import wizard appears.

2. Select the Tuning file entry from the list and click Next.
   The Import a Tuning File page opens.

3. Select Tuning File and click OK.

4. Browse and select the file you want to open.

5. Click Finish.

When you import a file into a current project, the Tuning Browser shows the following:
Under the project, a folder called Imported Results.
The Activity Result for the selected file is named Imported <collector_name> Results (<Activity Result ID>). This file is placed under the Imported Results folder. The results are opened automatically.
See example:

Importing a File Using the Command Line

From the command line, you can import a related file into your command-line project using the import command. You can use this command to import files generated with the graphical user interface. To view the list of available importers, type in: vtl query -li.

To import a file from the command line:

1. Type in the import command followed by the path and name of the file to import:
   vtl import <full path to the file to import>.
   On successful import, the VTune(TM) Performance Analyzer displays the message ”r;<filename> successfully imported ... Use "vtl view <activity result name" to view results”.

2. Use the show command to view the project contents and make sure the file is imported:

>vtl show
 

f1__ImportedResults

    r1_____Imported Sampling Results

The VTune analyzer creates Activity result r1 for the imported file under the Imported Results folder f1. Now you can use the view command to view the imported data in any sampling view.

Note

• To open a sampling view for the imported Activity result, always specify the complete Activity result name as f<number>::r<number>.
  Command-line example:

>vtl view f1::r1 -modules
