1.0 Tool Description

The IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java™ - Dump Analyzer is intended to perform automated analysis of system dump files produced by the IBM Java VM after post processing using the jextract tool. Starting with the name of the dump to be analyzed the analysis will attempt to localise the problem and if successful will produce a diagnosis of the error together with sufficient information to fix it or suggestions on how to continue the analysis using other tools (eg MDD4J to diagnose out of memory situations). If localisation fails then the tool will default to producing summary information from the dump intended to aid further diagnosis. The tool can analyze dumps from any platform that uses the IBM Java VM.
