The output data files are written to the export directory
specified in the command line when the code review application is
started.
The code review application
creates a subdirectory for output files each time the application
is started. The name of the subdirectory consists of the date plus
the time in the format
YYYYMMDD_hhmmss where
YYYY is
the year,
MM is the month,
DD is
the day,
hh is the hour,
mm is
the minutes, and
ss is the seconds. For example,
20121008_101746
The number of output data files that are created depends
on the number of exporters that are registered with Eclipse. The code
review application creates a separate data file for the output data
from each registered exporter.
Note: In the analysis configuration
editor, you can export code review results to these same types of
data files.
If you are analyzing COBOL source code files, typically five
output data files are generated. The most comprehensive sets of data
are in the first two files listed. If the scope includes Java™ source code files, then more
output data files are generated.
- XML Analysis Results.xml
- Contains all the result information in XML format. The XML schema
of this format is shown in XML schema.
This type of file is a data source for Rational® reporting tools and similar products.
- CSV Analysis Results.csv
- Contains all the result information in CSV format. The fields
and values for this format are shown in CSV fields.
You can import this type of file into spreadsheet software and use
it as a data source for comparison tools.
- Executed Rules.xml
- Contains a list of the rules that were applied in the code review,
ordered by provider. Each rule entry contains the text of the rule
and its assigned severity.
- Scanned Resources.xml
- Contains a list of the source code files that were analyzed in
the review.
- XML Analysis Results.xml
- Contains a high-level summary of the code review process.
