HeapRoots

Operating system: any Java™-enabled system

Software:

• Java 2 SDK (for running HeapRoots)
• IBM VM contained in some IBM Developer Kits, Java Edition, for creating heap dumps. Recommended: 1.3.1 SR3 (excluding z/OS) or 1.4.1 SR1 (or above) SDKs for heapdump support as described in the IBM JVM Diagnostics Guide. See the "Development Resources" (on righthand side of page) for downloads of some of these IBM SDKs.

1. Download and unzip the .zip package.
2. Get a heap dump from an IBM VM or use the example file (doc\hddocaddr.txt) supplied.
3. Run java -jar <HR_JARNAME> <heapdump_file>, where
   • <HR_JARNAME> is the name of the .jar included in the package
   • <heapdump_file> is the name of a heap dump.
