Navigating a Trace Chapter 13, Configuring Xgig TraceView
Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide 247
The search assumes you want to find all events with the address, both 8-byte World Wide Names
and 3-byte hashed values for the address. You can reduce the number of conditions searched for by
using the
Or << button. However, you cannot find/filter/hide if any of the 4 field values is deleted.
If you search for an event that has a 3-byte hashed address, you will only find those events with the
same 3-byte address. TraceView will not find events with the 8-byte value, as there is no way to
determine the full 8-byte address from the 3-byte hashed address.
A conversion tool is included to translate 8-byte World Wide Names to their 3-byte hashed value.
The
Hash Calculator button will automatically appear in Quick Find/Filter/Hide dialog when you
double-click an SOAF event to launch the dialog. It will also appear after filtering for fields
SAS_SOAF, SAS Src Addr, and SAS Dest Addr. See “SAS Hashed Address Calculator” on
page 402
for more information.
Search for Marked Locations
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are powerful tools for locating information in a trace. Use them to mark event times
you want to track or compare to other events, or events you want to return to over and over again.
Bookmarking adds a tag to the event structures at that specific point in time. Bookmarks are
referenced in many other operations, such as finds, searches, and navigation to a specific
timestamp. Bookmark information is embedded within the trace file. Therefore, you will see
bookmarks even if you look at the data using a different Xgig TraceView configuration.
The Bookmark Event pull-down menu in the Xgig TraceView toolbar contains all bookmarks.
Selecting a bookmark from the menu takes you to that line in the trace.
Managing and Editing Bookmarks
A tool is available for viewing and managing all bookmarks from a list. Bookmarks may be
modified or deleted. You can also add a descriptive comment about the bookmark. Select
Tools >
Manage Bookmarks...
. All bookmarks for the trace are shown in this dialog. However, if you
click a bookmark that is outside the histogram’s current time extent, a message may appear saying,
“This bookmark is filtered by the current time extents.”
