Dump Analyzer Tool - Analysis steps
- Process the options which control the analyzer(s) to be run, the output format or the level of information.
- Read the dump file using an appropriate DTFJ ImageFactory. Dumps ending in .dmp.zip are produced by VMs at 1.5.0 and above. Dumps ending in .sdff are produced by VMs at the 1.4.2 level.
- Run an analysis script against the image. This script in turn runs analysis routines each written in Java and analyzing the image produced in the first step.
