ibm analyzer opening large heap files

I have a heapdump file that was generated on a Unix AIX system with the jvm configured to utilize 2GB heap space.

1. Isn't it possible to open this heap file with the IBM heap analyzer tool on a windows vista 64 bit OS with 4GB of memory using jre 6 (64-bit)?

2. Doesn't windows vista 64 bit overcome the 2GB process limit with 32bit applications (raised to 4gb If I recall).

3. Is the latest 64-bit SUN jre 6 version truly a64 bit application or does it just have 64 bit drivers? Could this be the cause?

The max that I have been able to allocate to the IBM Heap Analyzer has been 1398. This causes an out of memory error around 90% since the heap dump was generated on a UNIX AIX 2GB jvm.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Why don't you run HeapAnalyzer on the AIX machine with -Xmx3000m, export your DISPLAY to Vista box ... works for me.
