command line -no-auto-finalize

A couple of questions on finalization.

We're working on Knights Landing processor. Obviously finalization on KNL is slower than on Xeon, taking somewhere between 5 to 15 minutes for a moderately large code. We started using -no-auto-finalize on the KNL collection and finalizing in the GUI ( open an empty project, set up the Properties with binary, source search, bin search. Then Open Results - loading the results finalizes in the GUI and all is good. )

Couple of questions:

Why isn't there a command line finalization command like in Vtune? something like 'advixe-cl -finalize -project dir <foo> -search-dir all:r=<foo>

I would like a command line way to finalize so collection could be done on the KNL and I could finalize from the command line on Xeon. Please add a Feature Request for this. It would be helpful to run batch tests overnight w/o the GUI and have everything collected and finalized in batch command line mode.

Next question: is finalization a one-time event? Is there a Re-finalize results like in Vtune? Can one re-finalize results, and if so, is there a hidden button or a command line command to do this?

Hi Ron,

I can file a feature request.

Finalization is a one time event. I think you can delete move some files to force re-finalization. Let me verify.

To force finalization you can remove

rank.*/hs***/sqlite-db sub-directory

I'm filing a CQ Feature request for the above functionality you mention

You can also remove the .norun file from the result directory and then open the results and it will refinalize

Just to confirm - Is there a

Just to confirm - Is there a CQ Feature Request for advixe-cl to support a separate finalization command similiar to that provided by Vtune, an advixe-cl -finalize <args> sort of functionality?
