Timestamps in sdf filename?

[schepurny]

I've been investigating having my sdf files include a timestamp in the filename when one of my packaged servers crashes, just the same way that walkback logs include a timestamp in the filename by default. I ran into a dead end looking for where I could configure this.

I'm using the AbtStackDumpStartUp as my startup class.

I do realize that I can go by the date of the actual sdf file, but it would just be much more convenient in our environment to have the sdf files automatically include the timestamp in the filename so that we can have this information at a glance.

Have you tried changing the code in the method AbtStackDumpStartUp>>createStackDumpFileName. I haven't tried it, but it looks straightforward. Alternatively you could create a subclass of AbtStackDumpStartUp, override createStackDumpFileName, and use your own subclass as the startup class.
