What does -y<xxxx> mean
as a SQL Server start-up option?
It is set as a debug option, typically at the request of PSS support to track down certain
errors - e.g. 604, 3307. When SQL gets an error specified in the -y option(s) then it
takes a snap dump of memory at the time - much like when it intercepts a gpf problem. This
can be used to see how SQL Server got into the problem area. |
