Issue/Introduction

 

Introduction/Summary: 

CA Support asked that I provide Java Heap and Core dumps. How do I produce Java Heap and Core dumps from a USS Tomcat Started task?

 

Background:  

CA support, often Sustaining Engineering (SE), may ask you to send Java Heap and Core dumps for analysis. This is not routine. You should produce these dumps only if/when Support requests them.

 

Environment:  

z/OS, USS

 

Instructions: 

Please add the following IJO=$IJO entries in the JCL/PROC

IJO="$IJO -Xdump:heap+java:events=vmstop,request=exclusive+prepwalk"

IJO="$IJO -Xdump:directory=<directory under current mount point>” 

Example – IJO=”$IJO -Xdump:directory=/CA31/u/users/omdev/apps/dumps"         

 

Also, please make sure you have the following EXPORT commands – in addition to standard ones like export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="$IJO "

export IBM_HEAPDUMP=TRUE

When you stop the task, please do so with the command

/p <Tomcat STC name>
