gmStudio Reporting Overview

gmStudio can produce a variety of useful reports to help you plan, execute, and measure the progress of your migration effort. There are four classes of reports:

• Code Scan Reports 
• Project Information Reports  
• Semantic Model Reports  
• Utility Reports

The gmStudio report titles and output file names are listed below:

Most reports are driven off selected tasks in the Migration Project. You indicate which migration tasks to include in a report by selecting them in the migration panel.

Most reports are authored as tab-delimited text files with the first record containing the column names of the report. These reports are written to files with a .tab extension. A handful of reports aggregate various log files and other data as free-form text files. These reports are written to files with a .txt extension.

Most reports are written to the report folder in your migration workspace. 

Running Reports

There are three ways to run gmStudio reports:

1. To run a single report for a set of one of more migration tasks, highlight the desired tasks in the migration panel then select the desired report from the [Reports] menu. The report will only include data for the highlighted migration tasks. The resulting report will be displayed in the associated application (e.g., excel for .tab files, or a text editor for .txt files).
    
2. To run a set of reports in batch, use the Reports Panel. This Panel allows you to perform a variety of reporting-related operations such as selecting a set of reports and running them in batch or viewing all the report files in the report folder. Click the [Reports] tab on the task details panel at the bottom of the main form.
    
3. To run a set of reports from one or more migration projects in batch use the command line scripts supplied with the gmStudio Samples. See [INSTALLDIR]\samples\batch\run1set.cmd for details.

.NET Assessment Tools

Once you have your code into .NET, Visual Studio offers several useful reports. See Code Analysis and Code Metrics in the Visual Studio documentation.
