  • Many valuable diagnostic tools have been developed to aid in trouble-shooting WebSphere and Java applications on z/OS. Recently, the best of them have been provided through the IBM Support Assistant (ISA) which is available as a complimentary download for use on your workstation. This session examines the tools that work with WebSphere on z/OS, showing you how to install and configure them, and the basics on how to use them. Specifically, we will discuss the following tools: Real-time analysis: The Health Center Garbage Collection analysis: GC and Memory Visualizer (GCMV), Pattern Modeling Tool for Java GC (PMAT) Dump analysis: Memory Analyzer, Dump Analyzer, Memory Dump Diagnostic for Java (MDD4J), and Thread & Monitor Dump Analyzer for Java (TMDA) Trace analysis: Trace and Request Analyzer for WAS, and Log Analyzer Configuration analysis: Visual Configuration Explorer (VCE) Detailed instructions on how to effectively use them so solve problems may be found in other documents that we will point you to.
