Creating an error log

To log errors if Application Studio has to close:

  1. Create a key called CrashDump in this registry location:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MIS AG\OlapStudio\CrashDump]

    For WebServices (WebHost.exe) errors, create the key in this location:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MIS AG\OlapStudio\WebServices\CrashDump]

  2. To define the extent of the error log and where it is saved, add a string value called DumpDirectory and a DWORD value called DumpType.
  3. Specify these parameters:
    • DumpDirectory: Path to where you want to save the error logs (Application Studio must have write permissions for this folder).
    • DumpType: This parameter is optional and specifies the scale of the error log:

      0 (Default setting): Creates a log containing the most important process information.

      1: Creates a larger error log containing a complete memory image of the process.

      2: Creates a complete error log. It contains detailed information on the process and the stack.

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MIS AG\OlapStudio\CrashDump]

"DumpDirectory"="C:\temp"

"DumpType"=0
