Creating Basic Profiling Reports from the Command Line

This topic describes the basic VSPerfReport commands that generate comma-separated value (.csv) reports from a .vsp or .vsps profiling data file. For a description of all report options, see VSPerfReport.

Report Commands

Use one of the following commands to create a report for a specified profiling data file.

• VSPerfReport VSPFile /Summary:All
  Generates all reports available for the .vsp or .vsps file.

• VSPerfReport VSPFile **/Summary:**ReportType[,ReportType...]
  Generates the specified report types.

• VSPerfReport VSPFile /CallTrace
  Generates a report that lists each data collection event. Instrumentation only.

Summary Report Type Parameters

The following table describes the reports that are generated by the specified report type option. The columns of a report depend on the profiling method that was used to collect the data.
