How to create and collect Type 7 Minidump with Page Heap

Steps to Accomplish

To trouble shoot Managed Exception from .NET and Heap corruptions, we would require a Type 7 (Full Dump) with Page Heap.
The methods here below allow MicroStation to generate a more comprehensive minidump file that can help Bentley Technical Support to identify the causes of a crash.

Page Heap enabled Full dump

· Create a system environment variable MS_MINIDUMPTYPE

· Set the value to 7

· Enable - Double click file Microstation-pageheap.reg to enable.

· Open the product and reproduce the crash.

· Locate the ExceptionHistory folder and zip the entire ExceptionHistory folder and Send your data using Secure File Upload (or sharefile)

· Disable - Double click file Microstation-nopageheap.reg to disable.

· Set the value back to 4
