result.
GUI Equivalent
Syntax
-merge-states
<PATH>
Arguments
The path for the merge-from result directory.
Default
Problem state values from the specified result directory are merged into
state values in the most recently created result directory of the same type.

Description
When an analysis returns a large number of problems, you
can create multiple copies of the same result to divide up the work of
investigating and resolving problems. Then you can use the
merge-states
action to merge problem states from one copy
of the result to another. When merging problem states on your system, state
data from the specified result is merged into the most recent result of the
same type in your current working directory, unless the
merge-to
result directory is specified by the
result-dir
option.
Problem states are merged according to these rules:
- Newin the merge-from result is ignored; state value in the merge-to result is retained.
- Not Fixedin the merge-from result is ignored; state value in the merge-to result is retained.
- Regressionin the merge-from result is propagated unless the state value in the merge-to result isNot a Problem,Deferred,ConfirmedorFixed.
- Not a Problemin the merge-from result is propagated unless the state value in the merge-to result isDeferred,ConfirmedorFixed.
- Deferredin the merge-from result is propagated unless the state value in the merge-to result isConfirmedorFixed.
- Confirmedin the merge-from result is propagated unless the state value in the merge-to result isFixed.
Example
Merge problem state values from the
merge-from-result
result directory into state values in
the most recent result of the same type.
$ inspxe-cl -merge-states myDirectory/merge-from-result
In this example, problem state data from the
merge-from-result
result directory is merged into state
data in the result in the
merge-to-result
directory, as specified by the
result-dir
option.
$ inspxe-cl -merge-states myDirectory/merge-from-result -result-dir ./merge-to-result
