Exporting Data Results Multiple Times
As you analyze your data result in BPM 6.x, you may want to rerun the protocol
and generate a new result. As you switch between BPM MP and BPM 6.x, you
should be aware of how you name your result files. For example, assume you
save your result to a file called Exp. Region 21. After you examine the result in
BPM 6.x, you decide you want to make some changes to the protocol and run
it again. You return to BPM MP, edit the protocol, rerun the protocol, and export
the result a second time. When you are prompted to save the result, if you use
the same file name that you used for the first run (that is, Exp. Region 21) you
will overwrite the result file from the first run.
Note: Before you export your result from BPM MP to BPM 6.x, you must
close the Report Table view for Exp. Region 21 in BPM 6.x. If you do not
close the Report Table view for the first result file, BPM 6.x does not
recognize the new result file as an updated version of what is currently
displayed, and it does not load the new file. Therefore, you will continue to
see the old result.
Tip: Give your result files unique names to avoid running into this
problem. By default, a time stamp is appended to the end of the name of
the result file, making it unique.
