Viewing HDL Workflow Advisor Reports

When the HDL Workflow Advisor runs tasks, it automatically generates an HTML report of task results. Each folder in the HDL Workflow Advisor contains a report for the checks within that folder and its subfolders.

You can access reports by selecting a folder and clicking the link in the Report subpane. In the following example, the Prepare Model For HDL Code Generation folder is selected.

The following report shows typical results for a run of the Prepare Model For HDL Code Generation tasks.

As you run checks, the HDL Workflow Advisor updates the reports with the latest information for each check in the folder. A message appears in the report when you run the checks at different times. Timestamps indicate when checks have been run. The time of the current run appears at the top right of the report. Checks that occurred during previous runs have a timestamp following the check name.

You can manipulate the report to show only what you are interested in viewing as follows:

• The check boxes under Run Summary allow you to view only the checks with the status that you are interested in viewing. For example, you can remove the checks that have not run by clearing the check box next to the Not Run status.

• Minimize folder results in the report by clicking the minus sign next to the folder name. When you minimize a folder, the report updates to display a run summary for that folder.

Select Show report after run to view the report for a folder automatically each time the tasks for the folder runs.

Saving HDL Workflow Advisor Reports

You can archive an HDL Workflow Advisor report by saving it to a new location. To save a report:

1. In the HDL Workflow Advisor, navigate to the folder that contains the report you want to save.

2. Select the folder that you want. The right pane of the HDL Workflow Advisor shows information about that folder, including a Report subpane.

3. In the Report subpane, click Save As.

4. In the Save As dialog box, navigate to the location where you want to save the report, and click Save. The HDL Workflow Advisor saves the report to the new location.

Note:   If you rerun the HDL Workflow Advisor, the report is updated in the working folder, not in the save location. You can find the full path to the report in the title bar of the report window. Typically, the report is within the working folder: slprj\modeladvisor\HDLAdv_\model_name\DUT_name\.
