Creating dump files
Dump files are created when a component crashes and creates an exception code. They are useful for troubleshooting such crashes as they states at exactly what line or area of memory the crash occurred.
To create a dump file:
-
Create a new environment variable with the following name and value:
Variable:
AREP_CRASH_DUMP_TYPE
Possible values:
FULL
,MINI
orNONE
- Restart both Replicate services.
-
This step is optional. If
AREP_CRASH_DUMP_TYPE
is set toFULL
orMINI
, navigate to the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\repctl.exe
Verify that the data value for the DumpType Binary Value is either 1 (
MINI
) or 2 (FULL
). -
After a crash occurs the dump files will be created in the following directory:
<Product_Dir>\minidumps
Information noteWhen
AREP_CRASH_DUMP_TYPE
is set toNONE
, no dump files will be created in the event of a crash.
