Use a Registry Editor to Change ViewX Exception File Settings

You can use a Registry Editor such as Regedit to edit the settings of ViewX Exception files.

The minidump file settings allow you to set the maximum number of files, define the file locations, and so on.

To change the minidump file settings:

1. Access and Run a Registry Editor.
2. Use the Registry Editor to locate the registry settings at the following location:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Schneider Electric\ClearSCADA\Exceptions

3. Define the registry settings:
   1. Right-click on a setting to display a context-sensitive menu. The settings include:
      • DumpFilePath—Define the folder that will contain the minidump files and the filename prefix for the files. The prefix is the name of the files (it cannot contain certain characters, see your operating system documentation for more details).

        If the specified path is invalid, Geo SCADA Expert will ignore the invalid registry value and will store the minidump files at the default location (see File Locations (Default)).

        If the specified path is invalid and the default file location cannot be found, exception logging will be disabled.

      • DumpMaxFiles—Enter the maximum number of minidump files that are to be retained. Once this limit is reached, whenever a new minidump file is created, the oldest minidump file is deleted (to make way for the new file).

        The default is 20 files.

      • DumpMaxSize—Enter the largest acceptable size of a minidump file. The size is in megabytes.

        The default is 100MB.

        The actual file size is likely to exceed the size that is specified in this field. This is because the server completes writing the full line of minidump entries before the file size is checked.

   2. Select the Modify option to display the Edit window.
   3. Enter the required setting in the Value Data field (see step i for the required settings).
   4. Select the OK button to confirm the setting.
