Configuring an Enterprise Server to Produce a Core Dump

By default, Enterprise Server does not create a core dump for run-time errors. For example, by default, if the operating system detects a memory access violation caused by your application, no core dump is produced. You must configure Enterprise Server to produce a core dump for these situations. You can specify this directly in the Enterprise Server or from the properties of the Enterprise Server in the IDE.

To configure your enterprise server instance to produce a core dump file:

1. In Solution Explorer, select your server instance under Micro Focus Servers > localhost.
2. Check the Properties window for the server instance.

   If the window is not visible, to open it click View > Properties Window.

3. Type a path and a file name for your core dump file in the Core dump file name.
4. Set Generate core dump to True.

When you start the enterprise server, a core dump will be produced by run-time errors. You can debug the core dump using the IDE to help determine the cause of the error. See Debugging Using a Core Dump .
