What are the *.DMP files that
appear in the SQL Server log directory. I've tried printing them with PRINTDMP.EXE but it
doesn't work. These are a sign that SQL Server has had a "handled access violation" - a gpf. The dump files contain information on what SQL Server was doing at the time, module stack traces etc. Though there is a PRINTDMP.EXE utility supplied the output of this is still of no use to anyone unless they have the SQLServer C source code. Save the dumps away, together with errorlog info, what SQL was running at the time etc. and contact MS PSS for support in resolving the problem. (Assuming you've already applied the latest service pack and dbcc'd your databases to make sure there are no problems there) |
