Generating Heap & Thread Dump from command prompt

Thread Dump (Java Core Dump):

A thread dump is a dump of the stacks of all live threads. It is a way of finding out what every

thread in the JVM is doing at a particular point in time. This is useful for analyzing what an application is

doing at some point and also useful in diagnosing some kinds of 'execution' problems.

Heap Dump:

A heap dump is a "binary dump" of the full memory the JVM is using. It is a snapshot of the memory of a

Java process. Thus useful for analyzing how much of memory is being used by a JVM at a particular

point of time and also in diagnosing some memory issues, and if done at intervals it is helpful in

identifying memory leaks.

Generating Thread dump & Heap Dump in WAS:

1. Logon to the machine where the WebSphere Application Server is installed.

2. Run command prompt as admin and go to E:\Websphere_8ND\AppServer\profiles\<profile>\bin

directory and invoke either the "wsadmin.sh" or "wsadmin.bat".

3. On the wsadmin prompt, run the following commands

set jvm [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=JVM,process=xPression1,*]


$AdminControl invoke $jvm generateHeapDump
$AdminControl invoke $jvm dumpThreads

Note:

 xPression1 - name of the server for which dumps are to be generated

 The dumps are generated in the path E:\Websphere_8ND\AppServer\profiles\<host

name>\servers and the heap dumps are saved as .phd file(portable heap dumps)

 On unix/Linux machines find the process id (PID) of the hung JVM and issue kill -3 PID.

Look for an output file in the installation root directory with a name like

javacore.date.time.id.txt.
