Enabling automated heap dump generation

Use this task to enable automated heap dump generation.

Why and when to perform this task

To enable automated heap dump generation support, perform the following steps in the administrative console:

Steps for this task

  1. Click Servers > Application servers in the console navigation tree.
  2. Click server_name > Runtime Performance Advisor Configuration.
  3. Click the Runtime tab.
  4. Select the check box to enable the Runtime Performance Advisor.
  5. Click OK.

Result

The automated heap dump generation support is enabled.

Important: To preserve disk space, the Runtime Performance Advisor does not take heap dumps if more than 10 heap dumps already exist in the WebSphere Application Server home directory. Depending on the size of the heap, and the workload on the application server, taking a heap dump might be quite expensive and might temporarily affect system performance.

What to do next
