TROUBLESHOOTING: Upload BES Relay dump files
| 0 Votes |
Description
| In BES 7.0, first time failure data capture has been improved specifically for application exceptions by using dump files. A besrelay.dmp file will now be generated when an unexpected C++ exception is encountered by the BES Relay application. This task detects computers that have a BES Relay dump file, and allows you to upload those files to the BES Server so it can be provided to BigFix Support. By default, the uploaded files will be placed in a subfolder under "%ProgramFiles%\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\UploadManagerData\BufferDir\sha1" on the BES Server. The dump files are minidumps, so their size is typically less than 100kB. |
