How to Create a Dump File from Task Manager for SSMS and Integrated Add-ins
In cases where SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) or any integrated add-ins freeze or stop responding, a dump file can be generated for debugging purposes. This applies to both SSMS and the following dbForge add-ins for SQL Server:
- dbForge SQL Complete
- dbForge Source Control for SQL Server
- dbForge Unit Test for SQL Server
- dbForge Index Manager for SQL Server
- dbForge Data Pump for SQL Server
- dbForge Search for SQL Server
- dbForge Monitor for SQL Server
Steps to Create a Dump File from Task Manager:
Reproduce the Issue:
- Ensure the issue has occurred before creating the dump file (e.g., SSMS or an add-in has stopped responding but is still visible in Task Manager).
Open Task Manager:
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and select Task Manager from the menu.
Switch to the 'Details' Tab:
- In Task Manager, click on the Details tab to view the running processes.
Select the SSMS Process:
- Find the ssms.exe process, which corresponds to SQL Server Management Studio.
Create the Dump File:
- Right-click on ssms.exe and choose Create Dump File from the popup menu.
Example:
If you are using dbForge SQL Complete within SSMS and the application freezes, follow these steps to create a dump file for the ssms.exe process.
