Dr. Watson Log File May Not Contain Task List (214791)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q214791 SYMPTOMS
The Drwtsn32.log file created by Dr. Watson may not contain a task list on systems that use extensible performance counter DLLs, such as Microsoft SQL Server's Sqlctr60.dll.
CAUSE
Dr. Watson uses the system performance counters to generate the task list. It is possible for the size of the returned performance data to change between successive calls to retrieve it. Dr. Watson was not sufficiently tolerant of such a change.
