A.1 Output formats of analysis trace files

An analysis trace file is used to store command analysis results. The output format depends on whether the script can be activated concurrently from multiple processes.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Multi-activation prohibited
(2) Multi-activation permitted

(1) Multi-activation prohibited

File name

The file name (extension .SPA) is a combination of the folder name and the script file name specified in the Trace Information page, accessed by choosing File, Set Execution Environment in the Script Manager window.

Output format

Figure A-1 shows the output format of an analysis trace file.

Figure A‒1: Output format of an analysis trace file (multi-activation prohibited)

a.: Date and time at which trace output started, the computer name and user name that executed the script, and the Script Engine version
b.: Time at which an analytical error occurred
c.: Line and column positions at which an analytical error occurred
d.: Name of the command in which an analytical error occurred
e.: Type of analytical error
f.: Total number of analytical errors
g.: Date and time at which trace output ceased

Maximum lines and columns

Trace information can be output to an analysis trace file to a maximum of between 100 and 9,999 lines and 128 to 1,024 columns.

You can change these output limits in the Trace Information page, accessed by choosing File, Set Execution Environment in the Script Manager window.

If the output trace information exceeds the maximum line count, Script Engine returns to the first line and outputs the new information, replacing the existing information. If the maximum column count is exceeded, the excess columns are deleted.

(2) Multi-activation permitted

File name

The file name (extension .SPA) is a combination of the folder name and the script file name specified in the Options (Multi-activation) dialog box, accessed by choosing Tools, Options in the Script Manager window.

Output format

Figure A-2 shows the output format of an analysis trace file.

Figure A‒2: Output format of an analysis trace file (multi-activation permitted)

a.: Date and time at which trace output started for the executed process, the process identifier, letter S indicating the start, the Script Engine version, and the computer name and user name that executed the process
b.: Time at which an analytical error occurred
c.: Process identifier of the process in which an analytical error occurred
d.: Line and column positions at which an analytical error occurred
e.: Name of the command in which an analytical error occurred
f.: Type of analytical error
g.: Date and time at which trace output ceased for the executed process, the process identifier, and the letter E indicating the end.
h.: Total number of analytical errors

Maximum lines and columns

Trace information can be output to an analysis trace file to a maximum of between 100 and 9,999 lines and 128 to 1,024 columns.

You can change these output limits in the Trace Information page, accessed by choosing File, Set Execution Environment in the Script Manager window.

If the output trace information exceeds the maximum line count, Script Engine returns to the first line and outputs the new information, replacing the existing information. If the maximum column count is exceeded, the excess columns are deleted.
