The Symbols settings allow you to specify where Exception Tracer looks for symbols and what symbol servers to use.

 

You do not need to specify symbol servers if you do not wish to, and Exception Tracer will work correctly without them.

 

 

 

 

 

Manually adding path type directories

 

The Path list shows all the paths that will be searched for debug information in PDB files.

 

You can modify the list of files for each path type in the following ways:

 

•Add appends a row to the directory list enter the directory path

 

Edit a directory path by double clicking the entry. The usual controls apply for removing list items:

 

•Remove removes selected items from the list

 

•Remove all clears the list

 

•Remove invalid removes all items that are not valid directories from the list

 
 

Alternatively, press to delete selected items, and + to select all items in the list first.

 

 

Symbol server

 

The symbol server is entirely optional, but is useful for obtaining symbols from a centralized company resource or for obtaining operating symbols from Microsoft.

 

The default symbol server is the Microsoft symbol server used for acquiring symbols about Microsoft's operating system DLLs. You may also wish to add some symbol servers for any software builds in your organisation.

 

A symbol server is defined by at least the following:

 

•the symbol server dll to be used to handle the symbol server interaction

•a directory location where symbol definitions are saved

•the server location - a url

 

The symbol server can be enabled or disabled allowing you to keep multiple symbol server configurations available without constantly editing their definitions.

 

 

Reset - Resets all global settings, not just those on the current page. This includes removing any symbol servers added.
