The time needed for loading a crashump into the crashdump
41
viewer would earlier grow exponentially with the size of
42
the crashdump file. Reading a file of 20M would take a
43
couple of minutes, and for a dump of 250M it would take
44
between 1 and 2 hours. This has been solved.</p>
46
Earlier, all processes, timers, funs or ets-tables would
47
be loaded into the memory of the crashdump viewer node
48
before sending it on to the web server. This has been
49
changed and the pages are now sent to the web server in
52
A security function in newer web browsers prevents a full
53
file path to be sent from an HTML file input field, i.e.
54
the field needed to implement the "Browse" button when
55
loading a file into the crashdump viewer. To overcome
56
this, the file input field is no longer used. Instead a
57
normal text input field is used, and the user needs to
58
manually insert the complete file path. For convenience,
59
a shell script and a batch file are added to the observer
60
application. These can be used to start the
61
crashdump_viewer and a browser and load a file - with the
62
file name given from the command line. The shell script
63
and batch file are called cdv and cdv.bat respectively,
64
and can be found in the priv dir of the observer
