Import XES files
Hello,
Trying to run the example from Tutorial ProM 6, I noticed that a file with extension .xes is imported in Workspace as a file .mxml (the dialog window "Select an import Plugins" offering three options,ProM log files). But from Figure 4. of the Tutorial I saw that the imported file kept its extension, .xes. So my question is: ProM 6.1 may import an .xes file as a workspace resource .xes (which implies that I'm either doing a wrong manipulation or my installation is missing a package) ?.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Cotofrei

Hi Paul,
The name of the event log shown in ProM 6 is not the file name but the value of the concept:name attribute of the log element.
I believe that this .xes log has been converted from an .mxml log at some point and has been given this name.
Internally, ProM 6 will keep all event logs in the XES format using the OpenXES libraries, also MXML event logs.
So, everything is OK

Hi Claudio,
Thanks for your answer. The problem is that when I try to import repairExample.xes (as mentioned in Tutorial), even using the file type ProM Log Files, the resulted resource is repairExample.mxml. And, as I read, the standard .xes is the succesor of mxml, so I don't understand why the last version of ProM convert implicitly a .xes file in a .mxml.
Sincerely yours,
Paul

Hi,
Thank you, you have right: I checked the file "repairExample.xes" with a text editor and indeed the key "concept:name" has as value "repairExample.mxml". In fact, the problem is that prom-6.0-tutorial is out-of-date (hyperlinks -- page 6 --, figures, functionalities -- there is no section "Event Name AND Resource" in the Summary tab, as mentionned in page 8 --, package name -- there is no action "Simple log filter" (page 10), but "Filter log using simple heuristics", etc..).
Sincerely yours,
Paul
