Repro Help

Playing a Repro (.rpr) File

The Repro Analyzer is used to playback a .rpr file, and provides an integrated and organized view of the instrumented components in each dimension.

Video

By default the window with the main focus is the ‘video’ window. In this window the ‘desktop video’ of the user’s actions are displayed.

Comments

Remarks and other annotations can be added in the Comments window. Note that the first comment by default shows the login name of the user along with a date and time stamp for the Repro.

Performance Graphs

The Performance Counters selected from the Preferences for recording are shown as line graphs. Tto view a detailed description of the graph, hold the mouse over the title of the graph.

System Operations

The System Operations trace the flow of execution of the instrumented application(s). Columns within the System Operations window display the operation ID (a unique identifier for each operation), a textual description, the time at which it occurred, the process and thread in which it occurred, and the module in which the operation was instrumented. Right click anywhere within the System Operations window to display a context menu where you can filter the operations by category. You cannot remove operations from the log, you can only filter which operations to view.

System Operation Details

Many System Operation line items have additional data of interest also captured. The amount of data captured corresponds to the ‘Number of Bytes’ setting in the Preferences. Synchronized with the log of operations, the Return Value and primary ‘out’ parameter of each operation is displayed in this window. To view this data in different formats right click anywhere within this window and select the formatting preference from the context menu that appears.
