Generating dump files for applications on Windows

When a StreamServe application (StreamServer application, Archiver application, service gateway, or Task Scheduler) stops because of a runtime error that is not handled, it generates a dump file to help you identify where the problem occurred.

Dump files are created in the working directory with the file name <date>-<time>-StreamServe-<PID>.mdmp, where <PID> is the process ID of the application.

Note:

When Java is configured for an application (see Configuring Java parameters), the Java Runtime Environment controls runtime error handling and the creation of dump files.

Types of dump files

StreamServe applications generate a full dump file by default. You can change this to a mini dump file or disable the dump file for the application.

•	Mini - Contains stack information from the time the application went down.

•	Full (default) - Contains stack information and the memory content of the application from the time the application went down.

To change the type of dump file or disable the dump file

1	In the Control Center tree view, select the application.

2	In the Property view, double-click Mini Dump, and select the type of report:

–

–

–

Full

3

Click OK.

At the command line, use the -minidump <report type> argument to set the report type. Where <report type> is mini, full, or disable.
