All, I have my application running on websphere app server 7.0. I get some of these core dumps and trace files like
core.20110909.164930.3828.0001.dmp
and
Snap.20110909.164930.3828.0003.trc.
My question is, just like the thread dumps generated by WAS can be opened and analyzed by IBM-Thread Dump Analyzer tool
is there a tool(s) to open the above mentioned files by IBM or any other?
Thanks, Ayusman
the core dumps have to be processed by the jextract utility (of the jre that dumped) fromn my webspere root this is ./java/jre/bin/jextract.
The resulting output can then be proccessed by ISA
Snap files are proccessed by the java trace tool ie java com.ibm.jvm.format.TraceFormat [] [options] from http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/realtime/v1r0/topic/com.ibm.rt.doc.10/diag/tools/trace_formatter.html for was v6
the output is readable
