Using AXD Tools

29

When AXD Mac OS X tools saves a log, it overwrites any existing log of the same name.
Log preferences can automatically customize the name of the log file so that the log
files aren’t overwritten.

If you don’t use any of the naming options, the log is saved as:

AXD_mode_autosave_log.txt

If you are testing locally, mode is replaced by “local.” If you are testing remotely, mode is
replaced by “remote.”

If you use all of the naming options, the log is saved as:

AXD_mode_autosave_log_date_ethernetaddress uniquename.txt

The appended values use this format:

The unique name will be appended only if a file of the same name exists.

A log for the local Xserve with all naming options enabled (using the example values) is
saved as:

AXD_local_autosave_log_15_Jul_2007_01_23_45_67_89_ab - 1.txt

To set log preferences:

1

In AXD Mac OS X tools, choose AXD > Preferences.

2

To automatically save test logs, select “Auto-save test log.”

If you don’t select this option, you can’t perform the steps that follow.

3

To choose the location of the automatically saved log, click “Choose auto-save location,”
select a location, and then click Open.

Configure the test log naming options.
