The following table describes the events that cause a crashdump.
| This event … | Can occur … |
|---|---|
| error restart | for many reasons. Most commonly, a restart is due to a fatal error condition in Vantage. The Teradata crashdump capture occurs before the restart on each node to preserve the error information in node memory. |
| Forced restart (with Teradata crashdump) | at any time, using restart commands. Only use restart commands for maintenance, so you do not interrupt jobs that are running. See Commands for Forcing a Teradata Crashdump. |
