2010-12-12 Sunday - Oracle 11gR2 Streams

Today I'm researching some problems that have cropped up during recent maintenance / testing of an Oracle Streams implementation (running on IBM AIX).


Of course, its always good to start with the offical Oracle documentation:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=14&frame=


The following articles are important to review:

12 Managing Oracle Streams Replication

I'm also ordering the following two books from Amazon:

2010-12-06 Monday - Java Heap Dump Analysis

Today I'm helping a Performance Testing Team do some research on a possible memory leak in a 3rd party application suite - and wanted to review some of the tools that might be of some assistance in my analysis.

This posting is a placeholder for my notes:



.PHD = Portable Heap Dump format
(started with Java SDK 1.4.2 SR1)


A tool for debugging memory leaks in Java applications through analysis of "heap dumps."










  





JavaOne 2009 - TS-4118 Practical Lessons in Memory Analysis
(site appears to be under maintenance)
"In order to analyze IBM system dumps with Memory Analyzer, one needs to install the DTFJ adapter into the Memory Analyzer. The DTFJ adapter as well as installation instructions are available here."



Using the IBM DTFJ with the Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool
(not sure if this is still needed - or if Eclipse MAT has already incorporated this dependency)
"The Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT) is an open-source Eclipse project for analyzing heap dumps and identifying memory leaks from Java virtual machines. The basic MAT installation only works with Sun HPROF binary dumps. Using the IBM Diagnostic Tool Framework for Java (DTFJ) enables MAT to work with system dumps and Portable Heap Dump (PHD) files from IBM Virtual Machines for Java version 6, version 5.0 and version 1.4.2."
