Problem determination for javacore files from WebSphere Application Server

Troubleshooting


Problem

Some error conditions in an IBM® Java™ virtual machine (JVM) running under IBM WebSphere® Application Server result in a crash. The output of a crash is a javacore file. This document describes how to read and interpret the data in a javacore file. Performing problem determination by analyzing the javacore file is an effective means of determining root cause; taking preventive action helps to avoid future crashes of the JVM. These problem determination techniques are applicable to the Java Software Developer Kit (Java SDK) delivered by IBM on Microsoft® Windows®, Linux® and AIX®.
