PB 2025 and later versions now support generating crash dump files, which help Appeon developers analyze random crashes. Please follow the steps below to obtain the crash dump file:
-
If you are running the application in the IDE, find the pb.ini file, which by default is located in %localappdata\Appeon\PowerBuilder 25.0\pb.ini, such as C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Appeon\PowerBuilder 25.0.
-
Open this pb.ini file and then set the following to the [Debug] section:
[Debug]
DumpOutPut = 1
If you are running the deployed EXE, please create a pb.ini file in the directory where the EXE is located and include the above content.
-
Restart the PowerBuilder IDE or rerun your EXE. Then try to reproduce the crash.
-
After it crashes, open the %TEMP% directory, check if any PB250.exe.###.dmp or yourapp.exe.###.dmp file is generated here.
-
Zip this dmp file and send it to Appeon Support.
