Using the caliper report Command to Create a Report from One or More Databases

Use caliper report to create a single output report from one or more databases.

The syntax for this command is:

caliper report [report_options] [database ...]

You can specify multiple databases, either individually or by using wildcards. For example, to generate a report for all databases matching dbase.* to the text file out.txt, do the following:

$ caliper report -o out.txt dbase.*

If you do not specify a database, HP Caliper uses the database created from your latest run.

By default, data is merged for matching processes in the same collection run. See “--group-by” (page 61).

Using the caliper merge Command to Merge Data From Multiple Collection Runs

Use caliper merge to merge data from two or more databases to a single output report. In the report, the contributing collection runs are appended one after another.

The syntax for this command is:

caliper merge [report_options] [database1 database2 ...]

HP Caliper will produce a report for all databases (for all collection runs and all processes) specified on the command line. Data will be merged for all matching processes, even if they are in different collection runs. See Example 2.
