To examine the PipeLay results files for the abandonment analysis from the last article, select the Results tab on your Analysis component. Click the Open Results Directory button and the results directory for the analysis will be opened in a new Windows™ Explorer window as shown in the figure below.
Results Directory
The results directory is created as a sub-directory of the directory containing the project file and is given the same name as the Analysis component responsible for generating the results (in this case ‘Abandonment Analysis’). As shown, this “top-level” results directory contains a number of files:
analysis.log |
Analysis log. Run-time output from the analysis engine. |
analysis.ver |

analysis.psr |

analysis.mpl |

analysis.Snn.mps |
Plot files (where nn is the number of the plot). |
analysis.pas |

The results directory also contains 15 sub-directories, one for each stage. If you open a stage sub-directory such as ‘Stage 1’, the sub-directory includes the following files:
analysis.prp |
Analysis report file. |
analysis.tab |
Tabular output file (plain text file). |
analysis.csv |
Tabular output file (CSV file). |
analysis.pdp |
