Spirent TestCenter: Changing RecordsPerPage=100 for DetailedStreamResults result view not taking effect untill "Reset View" is done.

Symptoms

When chaning RecordsPerPage=100 for DetailedStreamResults result view under C:\ProgramData\Spirent\TestCenter <Version that you are using>\Templates\System\Result Views\Stream Results\Detailed Stream Results.xml, is not taking effect untill "Reset View" is done.

Also, you need to do that "Reset View" every time you open a new configuration, or a new GUI.
Environment
  • Spirent TestCenter
  • 5.35
  • RecordsPerPage
  • DetailedStreamResults
  • DetailedStream Results.xml
  • GUI 
  • Reset View

 

Steps To reproduce:

1.- Go to C:\ProgramData\Spirent\TestCenter5.35\Templates\System\Result Views\Stream Results\Detailed Stream Results.xml
2.- Go to the attribute: “RecordsPerPage” and edit the same to the desired value (Let's say = 100)
3.- Open 5.35 GUI
4.- Create devices and traffic (make sure more than 25 streamblocks are created)
5.- Bring up Detailed Stream Results View
6.- You will see multiple pages to display the streamblocks
7.- Go to change result view - Manage Views - Reset View
8.- DetailedStream Results view now will show all the streamblocks on the same page

Then reset or open a new GUI, and you will see the change is not persistent.

Explanation/Resolution
 
  1. You can hit Reset View under change result view - Manage Views
  2. Do this "Recordsperpage" change under Basic Traffic.xml located at C:\ProgramData\Spirent\TestCenter <Version you are using>\Templates\System\Perspectives instead
    • enlightenedThis Basic Traffic.xml has two "sections" Traffic\Basic Traffic Results and Stream Results\Detailed Stream Results, make sure to do the change under Stream Results\Detailed Stream Results section.
Root Cause
 
  • The RCA why the change on Detailed Stream Results seems to be not persistent until you hit “Reset View” after modifying “Detailed Stream Results.xml”  under C:\ProgramData\Spirent\TestCenter <Version that you are using>\Templates\System\Result Views\Stream Results , is because it happens that Port Traffic\Basic Traffic Results and Stream Results\Detailed Stream Results are the default views on any STC new GUI instance, so Basic Traffic.xml located under Perspectives folder takes precedence.
