Generating HTML Reports

You can generate HTML reports based on many of the JProbe views. For example, you can generate a report on the Instances view or the Coverage Browser view. The options in the Create Report dialog box differ depending on the analysis tool and the report being generated.

JProbe creates a report with a header that includes the report title, the version of JProbe, and the snapshot name, location, and timestamp. The content of HTML reports is predefined, however JProbe respects the table sort order, view filters, and type of units that you select for the view. Data is always sorted in descending order.

HTML reports are created using valid XHTML 1.0, which means that they can be parsed and manipulated by XML tools.

Note You can generate the many of the HTML reports using the command line tool jpconfig. For more information, see the JProbe Reference Guide.

To create a report:

1 From a view that supports reports, click Export Data to HTML.

2 Specify the fully qualified path to a file in the Output File field.

3 Set report options. For more information, see the Reporting topic in each of the analysis sections of the online help.

4 To generate and display a sample of the report, click Preview.

5 To generate and save the report, click Generate File.
