The Recorded Data preferences page enables you to configure how Selenic stores the data it records when running Selenic run configurations (see Selenic Run Configurations).
In this section:
Recorded Data Directory
By default, Selenic stores data used to generate recommendations in the <USER>/parasoft/recorded_data directory, but you can change the location in the Selenic preferences page.
- Choose Parasoft> Preference and select Recorded Data.
- Specify a location for the recorded data and click Apply.
If you are using Selenic on the command line, you will still need to explicitly define the location of the the recorded data directory (see Command Line).
Recorded Data Storage
By default, Selenic stores the data it generates until it is manually removed. Selenic also analyzes all data in the directory by default. As the volume of recorded data grows, you may experience performance degradation. You can configure Selenic to automatically trim historical data in the Recorded Data preference page to optimize performance, as well as disk space.
- Choose Parasoft> Preference and select Recorded Data.
- Enable the Limit recorded data option and specify a value in the Number of days of data to keep field.
Selenic will keep data for the number of days specified. Selenic only considers days for which data was recorded. For example, if the Number of days to keep recorded data field is set to 3, only the three most recent days for which data was recorded will be kept, regardless of how many calendar days have passed.
Refer to the settings in the Command Line section for information about configuring recorded data settings on the command line.
