Developing a Configuration UI for the Core Dump Subsystem

This section guides you through the process of developing a UI application to configure the Core Dump Subsystem (CDS). It shows you how to capture application failure and system crash information.

Symbian provides a Techview-based UI that runs on H2 and H4 hardware boards to configure CDS. To configure CDS using your own UI, the UI must use the configuration API. This API acts as an interface between your UI and CDS, and manages the interaction between the two.

The following guidelines must be followed while developing a UI to configure CDS:

Notes

  • You can load only one formatter and writer plug-in combination at a time.

  • You can use the RCoreDumpSession::GetNumberConfigParametersL() method to get the number of currently active parameters in the system. This consists of the core dump server parameters and any loaded plug-in parameters.

  • You can load the saved configuration by using the RCoreDumpSession::LoadConfigL() method.
