Going through your build reports

After a build, open your ERROR_FILES folder.

For assistance understanding your build reports, please email the error.tgz file to GMCL for analysis.

To begin analysis of your build reports yourself, open your ERROR_FILES folder, then the MOST RECENT folder.

  1. Sort these files from largest to smallest by clicking on the Size column header.
  2. For now, ignore the DBDOC.ERR and DBDOC_SUMMARY.ERR files.
  3. Look at files larger than DBDOC_RESIDUAL.ERR. The first files to look at are DBDOC_*.ERR files (not DBDOC-CHECK_*.ERR or DBDOC-IGNORE_*.ERR). These should provide excellent clues to how successful your build was.
  4. Alternatively, you may sort the folder by filename. Take a look at all the errors named DBDOC*.ERR, but not DBDOC-CHECK*.ERR or DBDOC-IGNORE*.ERR. These should also provide some excellent clues. Each of these files is documented in Build reports.
  5. It may be helpful to choose to build the build report files into your M14 as a BuildPlus option.
  6. Build reports can be compared between builds using WinMerge (explained in Other error checking techniques)

Note: Remember that when analyzing these files there is more information available for cross-analysis in the build folder, such as Unused_Tags.txt and Unused-alarm_tags.txt. For more details, see General build reports. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us!
