Using the TDV Server Heap Dump Utility Program
You can use the composite_dumpHeap utility to generate a heap dump in a HPROF format. HPROF format can be used to track down and isolate performance problems involving memory usage and inefficient code.
The composite_dumpHeap utility is not supported for AIX platforms.
To use the composite_dumpHeap program
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Navigate to <TDV_install_dir>/bin.
3. Enter the composite_dumpHeap syntax:
./composite_dumpHeap.[bat, sh] - argument 1 <dumpFileNamePath>
If this <dumpFileNamePath> exists then it will be deleted and the file will be regenerated.
