JR41423: CANNOT MERGE PERFORMANCE ANALYZER TRACE FILES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I am trying to merage two Performance Analyzer trace files.
  After
  clicking on the merge button the response I am getting is 'The
  syntax
  of the command is incorrect.'
  I have the two files in the TPF project Navigator view.
  This is the generated command with the response.
  > cmd /c copy /b "C:\Program
  Files\IBM\TPF_Toolkit_vanilla\TPF_Toolkit_V3.
  4_vanilla\eclipse\workspace\RemoteSystemsTempFiles\LOCALHOST\c\P
  rogram
  Files\IBM\TPF_Toolkit_vanilla\TPF_Toolkit_V3.
  4_vanilla\Config\project\trace\zorro.trc" + /b "C:\Program
  Files\IBM\TPF_Toolkit_vanilla\TPF_Toolkit_V3.
  4_vanilla\eclipse\workspace\RemoteSystemsTempFiles\LOCALHOST\c\P
  rogram
  Files\IBM\TPF_Toolkit_vanilla\TPF_Toolkit_V3.
  4_vanilla\Config\project\trace\zwg1.trc" C:\Program
  Files\IBM\TPF_Toolkit_vanilla\TPF_Toolkit_V3.
  4_vanilla\Config\project\trace\mrgfile.trc
  The syntax of the command is incorrect.
  We are on toolkit version 3.4.7
  

Local fix

  space
  

Problem summary
