Maestro file become very large

delgsy

I have been accumulating tests in one maestro file (45MB).
It is taking quite sometimes to open and do simulation, especially when using Run Plan.
I thought it is just like that because I put so many tests, global variable, parameters, etc.

Today I made a new maestro file and imported all the setup from the old maestro file.
It turns out the new file is way smaller, less then 1MB.
The new maestro do not have Run Plan from the previous file, I do not know what else is missing.

Is there any way to reduce the size of the old maestro?
or maybe a way to check why the size becomes so large.

I use IC6.1.7-64b.500.15

    The size difference is likely to be because you don't have saved histories (these are not imported). There has been a lot of work in IC6.1.8 on improving performance with larger maestro views, and in fact history data is now stored separately to make it faster. This would be a better way of improving performance rather than using a version from over 4 years ago - switch to using the latest IC6.1.8 hotfix.

    Thanks for quick answer.
    Yes, it is because the histories are saved.
    Deleting them reduces the file size.
