Spirent TestCenter: When I use the "Save Results" command in the Command Sequencer why am I seeing multiple results .dbs?

Environment/Versions
  •  Spirent TestCenter
    • Command Sequencer - Save Results command
      • Loop Mode = Append
Answer

When the "Save Results" command is in "Append" "Loop Mode" Spirent TestCenter will always create at least two files.  A summary database file that points to the "real" results file (or files).

For example:

  • This command sequence is run and the "Save Results" command has the "Result File Name" set to "mike's_results_filename.db"

     
  • After running the command sequence we see the following results .db files created.

    The summary database uses the "Result File Name" configured in the "Save Results" command.

     
  • When the summary database is opened, it has "links" to each iteration's results file.  Those are data_timestamped as shown below.
