Hi Didier,

as nw04s runs on jdk1.4.2, the easiest way to acquire a heap dump is on Ctrl-Break. To use this option you need to configure the following Java VM parameter:

-XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak.

The heap dump will be written to the working directory of the server, e.g. /usr/sap/<SID>/J<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<node>/

Best Regards,

Elena.
