How to view TestStand XML results files

[tesims]

Hi Mike,




The XML reports are defaulted to automatically save to the
same directory as your sequence file. 
You should be able to go to that directory and open the XML files in
Internet Explorer.

Terry,
I was doing that but getting an error message as below. I have since found that the files can not be opened where they are being stored on the network server, but can be opened when shifted back to the drive on the machine where Teststand is installed. I still need to be able to store and view them from the preferred storage location on the network server so I still need to solve the problem.
Regards
Mike

Hi,
What version is your IE?

Hi Ray
its version 6.0.blablabla
&nbsp;
For some reason it doesn't find the stylesheet on the PC where its being launched from. i can fix the problem by editing the XML's stylesheet path within the xml file and putting style sheet in same directory as results, but I&nbsp;had to write a program to modify all the files because there were so many. Future files no problem.
&nbsp;
On another issue, we have thousands of results files stored in XML. Now I need to do some statistical analysis&nbsp;on the results but&nbsp;extracting the fields into a spreadsheet is a nightmare, I wish i'd used text files (database ultimate goal). Any tips here?
&nbsp;
Also, in TestStand there&nbsp;seems to be only one location allowable to store all results files. Ideally i want to store results files&nbsp;in product-specific directories, ie not put results for all UUT types&nbsp;in the same directory. Is this possible?
&nbsp;
Also,&nbsp;how can I&nbsp;append the word "Pass" of "Fail" into the results file name&nbsp;so you can tell at a glance if a test was passed&nbsp;without opening the file?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Regards
Mike

There is&nbsp;a line at the top of your XML files similar to:
&lt;?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\Style Sheets\report.xsl"?&gt;
The correct path and style sheet used by your XML files needs to exist on the PC from which you're trying to open the files.
