849.0. ".ANA file format query" by KERNEL::SMITH () Thu Feb 13 1997 05:46

    
    Is is still not possible to get hold of the format of a .ANA file
    Reading note 139 it would appear it is not available. Can someone
    officially confrm this is still the case ?
    
    Our customer wants to generate his own .ANA files from a third-party
    product(s) and use these to populate SCA.
    
    Is he on his own here or can we help ?

Hi Ewan,

I am not aware of any plans to release the format of analysis files to the 
public and I have forwarded  your query to Cathy Axel -Product Manager.

Hi Ewan,

I don't know if Cathy had time to get back to you before she went away but
the format of the ANA files is not publically available.  Releasing the
spec. is one of those things which, on paper, sounds like a useful idea but
in practice will create more grief for all concerned - ask any of the compiler 
developers how straight forward and easy ANA file generation is ;-)

After saying this, plans can change.
