The Batch Operation tool enables processing a large number of .ANL files looking for messages with specific field values or meeting other pre-defined criteria.
Figure 366 – Tools – Batch Operations
Notes:
Definition of the criteria is done
via Open-Source-Scripts (for more details on using the Peryton-Scripting Add-On
and writing your own Scripts, see chapter 2).
Before running the Batch
Operations the Script that defines the criteria needs to be active (the active
Script appears in the Main window title). In order to make the selected Script
Active, it needs to run on a loaded .ANL file.
After choosing the Script to use as the criteria, the files where the search is performed should be selected and then the batch operation can be activated.
The following example shows a batch operation that searches for files containing Green Power messages:

When choosing 'Batch Operations…', the user can choose the list of .ANL files where to look for messages matching the criteria (in this case messages than contain the Green Power cluster):
Figure 368 – Choosing the .ANL file type list for Batch Operations
The Batch Operations lower section shows the filenames searched the number of messages that match the Script criteria in each. Clicking on any of the files will open it in the Perytons™ Protocol Analyzer for further analysis:
