Dump Files Management

Dump File Name & Location

The Memento Dump function stores the Memento data into a disk file.

The default file name is dump.memento and the default file location is the Memento Application directory. %USERPROFILE%\memento\.

The file name and the file location are user configurable using the File option.

Note: Euresys recommends to keep the suffix .memento.

Dump File Name Rotation

Memento Dump keeps previous dump files in the same directory by assigning a numerical suffix to their name. For instance, assuming the file name is set to dump.memento, older files are named dump.1.memento, dump.2.memento, dump.3.memento...

Every time a new dump file is created, the Memento Dump function

  • Increments the numerical suffix of all existing dump files (file name rotation)
  • Renames the previous dump file by adding the '.1' suffix

Dump File Size Control

By default, the Memento Dump function uses a single file per dump session.

Optionally, the user may split the dumped data over multiple files by specifying a size limit with the Split size option.

Dump File Count Control

By default, the Memento Dump function keeps all the dump files.

Optionally, the user may limit the number of dump files to keep using the Keep option.

Start/Stop Control

The dump operation starts on a user action:

  • Memento GUI: by clicking the Start Button in the Dump dialog box.
  • Command Line: by executing the Memento Application in the dump mode.

The dump operation stops:

  • Memento GUI: by clicking the Stop Button in the Dump dialog box.
  • Memento GUI & Command Line: on application exit.
