| <h1>Preferences</h1> |
| <p> |
| The tool have some preferences which may be configured by advanced users. |
| This must be done carefully otherwise, either no data could be read by the tool |
| and/or generated results could be puzzled. |
| </p><p> |
| Here's what the page looks like: |

| |
| <h2>Database</h2> |
| <p> |
| By default the tool does not connect to any performance results database as common |
| users might not have enough rights to access it. However, users having these |
| rights may want to look at the database contents and update the local data files |
| with it. Hence, it is possible to configure the tool to connect to a database |
| which may be either local or on the releng server (<code><b>trelenggtk</b></code>). |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Milestones</h2> |
| <p> |
| These are the list of the version milestones. Each milestone is a date string |
| using the <b>yyyymmddHHMM</b> format. When a new milestone is shipped, then a new |
| date must be added to this preference to let the tool to identify it in the builds |
| list and emphasize it... |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Default dimension</h2> |
| <p> |
| This is the dimension used to compute delta and make the verification. Currently |
| this is the <b>Elapsed Process Time</b> dimension. |
| </p><p> |
| <i>Note that the default dimension must belong to the <b>Results dimensions</b> |
| described below, hence a new selected dimensions will always be automatically |
| added to the list...</i> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Results dimensions</h2> |
| <p> |
| These are dimensions displayed in the scenario data HTML pages. Currently there |
| are the <b>Elapsed Process Time</b> and the <b>CPU Time</b>. Having these dimensions |
| configurable may be interesting to display others dimensions and see whether their |
| numbers may be relevant or not (e.g. <b>Used Hava Heap</b>). |
| </p><p> |
| <i>Note that the default dimension described above must belong to the selected |
| dimensions, hence it will always be automatically added to the new selected list...</i> |
