Yesterday was the best day so far this year when going to and from work. The sun was shining and temperature just below zero. First picture from the morning when I arrived at work
When going home, just before the Opera I had to stop and take a picture of a machine tearing down a building. Looking forward to see how it will look in a few days, and what will be there in a year? Btw: The boat on the picture has its own webpage http://www.msinnvik.no/
Just turning a bit to the left, the Opera.
In fact, analyzing the heap dump is not rocket science, many tools are available to do this. My intention was to use the IBM Support Assistant and then install the MDD4J-plugin on my laptop. All done without much hassle, so then of to analyze the actual heap dumps made available to me. Problem was that the dump-files are all about 400Mb, which it turns out my Windows XP-running laptop ain’t capable of managing. Tried to change default heap size for the tooling by following the steps I found in this post on Developerworks, but no help. I still got the “negative size” error. This was when using the 2.0.x version of MDD4J.
So, I tried to use the beta version of the 3.0.1.x version of MDD4J. I got rid of the negative size-error, just to get a new one “Capacity is less than zero”. Did a Google-search and found yet another post on Developerworks, with one reply from a guy named Thomas who is part of the MDD4J development team saying:
Hello everyone, this is Tomas, I’m a member of MDD4J development team.
I’m posting this just to confirm that in cases when MDD4J is unable to run analysis on a 32 bit platform, the right solution is to follow the instructions on how to run the analysis outside of ISA. The best combination is a 64bit Linux machine with IBM’ 1.5 JRE.
After running the analysis, you can copy the analysis directory back to your ISA’s workspace, into directory: <user home>/ibm/isa41/.metadata/.plugins/com.ibm.websphere.mdd4j.betaTomas
…so, just forget my Win XP and instead off to find a running Linux installation which I can use.
