TABLE 1: LoadSim Support Files
File Type Description Location
.sim This file contains the specific test information, such as the number of LoadSim clients, names of tests, and test parameters. In previous versions, the file was an ASCII text file whose format resembled that of an .ini file. Now the file is in a binary format, so you cannot directly read or alter it. LoadSim by default stores this file in the LoadSim home directory.
.log This file contains the all-important LoadSim performance data. The LSLOG utility parses this file to provide information about the performance characteristics of a test run. LoadSim by default stores this file in the LoadSim home directory.
.out This file contains the LoadSim screen log. This file is an audit trail of what appeared on the LoadSim screen during a session. Reviewing this file is a great way to validate that the LoadSim run was successful. LoadSim by default usually stores this file in the LoadSim home directory.
loadsim.ini This file contains overall program settings, such as screen position, logging preferences, and program options, specified in the Options property sheets. LoadSim by default stores this file in %SystemRoot%, not in the LoadSim home directory.
