The easiest method to convert an Overview Report (.tsd file) into HTML format is to use Performance Explorer’s "View as HTML" option:
- Go to "VIEW | VIEW AS HTML"
- Once the Overview Report has opened in a browser go to "FILE | SAVE AS" and save as HTML.
In addition, Performance Explorer provides a command line option to export the Overview Report file (m@name@projectname.tsd) to both HTML and XML format.
To export the TSD data into HTML and XML format:
- Paste the following XML into Notepad and save it to disk as, for example, C:\Temp\Export.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PerfExpCommandFile NoGui="true" LogFile="TARGET_PATH\LOGFILE.LOG">
<OverviewReport File="SOURCE_PATH\FILE_NAME.TSD" Export="TARGET_PATH\EXPORTFILE.HTML"/>
</PerfExpCommandFile>
This should be edited as follows:
Replace "TARGET_PATH\LOGFILE.LOG" with location and filename of the log file you wish to export to, for example "C:\Temp\PerfExp.log"
Replace "SOURCE_PATH\FILE_NAME.TSD" with the location and filename of the source tsd file, for example "C:\Temp\m@name@projectname.tsd"
Replace "TARGET_PATH\EXPORTFILE.HTML" with the path and filename of the file you wish to create, for example, "C:\Temp\ExportTSD.MHT"
NOTE: The exported file can be in HTML or MHT format.
- After the XML template has been configured and saved, the TSD file can be exported using it as a parameter to the perfexp tool in the Silk Performer root directory.
From the commandline, navigate to the Silk Performer root directory and enter:
perfexp /commandfile:"PATH\FILENAME.XML"
where "PATH\FILENAME.XML" is the path and filename of the XML saved in step 1, for example, "C:\Temp\Export.XML"
This exports the TSD file to HTML or MHT, and XML format as, for example, C:\Temp\ExportTSD.MHT and C:\Temp\ExportTSD.XML.
Please note: It is currently not possible to use the above approach to export a monitoring TSD (r@@servername.tsd) file from TSD format to either HTML or XML.
