Importing a Zend Server Event File

Importing Zend Server Event Files allows you to view and analyze trace data (execution data) from your server. The execution data includes function call trees, arguments and return values, function execution duration, memory usage and indication for an executed files name and line of code. This enables you to capture problems when they occur, which eliminates the need to set up environments and reproduce the steps that led up to the failure.

Zend Studio allows you to import a .amf or .xml file:

Note:

In order to import a Zend Server Event File, you must first export a Zend Server Event File from  your server. For more information see Exporting Trace Information in the Zend Server Online Documentation.

Having an active connection with a licensed version of Zend Server allows you to fully integrate the Code Tracing feature. For more information see Zend Server.
