Managing Sessions
TotalView saves the settings for each of your previously-entered debugging sessions, available in the Manage Debugging Sessions window of the Sessions Manager. Here, you can edit, duplicate or delete sessions as well as start a session and create new sessions.
You can also edit and create new sessions from any Sessions Window. See "Editing a Previous Session".
Access the Manage Sessions window, either from the Start Page by clicking View All to see all your sessions, or from File > Manage Sessions.
