Microsoft Process Monitor can capture system activity during application runtime, including registry, file, and process activity. This is helpful for locating issues caused by environmental factors. The usage steps are as follows:
-
Download Microsoft Process Monitor from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon.
-
Run Process Monitor: Procmon.exe.
-
Set the process name of the IDE or your application in the Process Monitor filter. For example, the process name for PB 2025 IDE is “PB250.exe.”
-
Run the PowerBuilder IDE or your application on the machine.
-
Normally, you should see that Process Monitor has captured a lot of data at this point.
-
Test the feature to reproduce the phenomenon.
-
Switch to the Process Monitor tool and click "Capture" on the Process Monitor Toolbar to stop monitoring.
-
Click on Process Monitor's menu "File" > "Save" > Save the logfile.PML with default configurations.
