The length of time required for processing depends on the number of files analyzed. When processing is finished, the Reports section of the Analyze Files dialog box updates and displays the statistics of the files analyzed.
An Excel document is displayed in a separate window. The Analysis Report lists the files you analyzed.

In addition to displaying the results of the analysis in the dialog box, the results are saved to disk in the location you define in the Report File portion of the dialog box. You can click View Report Text File to view the contents of the file on disk.
Save the Analysis Report to a name other than datapreputilitiestemplate.xlsm.
Note:
The commands for making changes to your Solid Edge files are dependent on macros. If you close and reopen the spreadsheet, macros may be disabled due to your Microsoft Office security settings. Discuss your security policy with your system administrator before making changes to your security settings.
In the Analyze Files dialog box, click Cancel to close the program.
To fix problems identified in the analysis, use the tools in the Analysis Report to apply corrections to the files listed.
Examples of the type of corrections you might need to apply are: changing the Project ID, changing revisions, or renaming existing unmanaged files. See the Help document Rename files using the Analyze data preparation utility for instructions on renaming files.
Tip:
If broken links were identified in the file analysis, use the Link Fixup program to repair them. This program modifies the files directly. To learn how to do this, see Fixing Links for Solid Edge Files.
To modify the unmanaged Solid Edge files with the changes you specified in the Excel document, run the Modify program.
