Correcting incomplete verboseGC data for use in IBM Pattern Modeling and Analysis Tool for Java Garbage Collector
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The IBM® Pattern Modeling and Analysis Tool (PMAT) for Java Garbage Collector is a tool available for analyzing verboseGC data from a Java™ Virtual Machine. However, sometimes the data is not complete, and cannot be read by the tool. However, a simple edit of the data set can allow the tool to explore the available data.
 
Resolving the problem
The IBM PMAT tool can be a useful tool in the arsenal of those looking to debug issues with their applications and application server. There are times, however, when the data provided is incomplete, or unable to be opened by the tool. There is a way to enable any valid dataset to be opened by bracketing the data with the following XML headers.

======================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<verbosegc>

</verbosegc>

======================================

This will allow the user to see what data there is in this useful tool.
