Hi,

Based on the query of Magic Subscriber “fipnova51” we are writing this article.  This article is very very important in case of Windows Service.  Because if we run any Server like JBoss or WebLogic like a Windows Service then NONE of the JVM utilities like “jmap”, “jconsole” , “jps” …etc will work. So it becomes very difficult to collect the Thread Dump or Heap Dump of the Running Service.

We wrote an article using JMX to collect all the JVM details using JMX code “Remote JVM Analysis (Mini JConsole)“. Here we are extending the same program to make the JMX program to even collect the HeapDump whenever we want.

Step1). Make a Windows Service for example you can use the following Script to make your WebLogic Server as Windows Service…

echo off
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=Test_Domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:bea103user_projectsdomainsTest_Domain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
set WLS_USER=weblogic
set WLS_PW=weblogic
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
set JAVA_HOME=C:bea103jdk160_05
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1

set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dweblogic.Stdout=C:bea103user_projectsdomainsTest_DomainASstdout.txt -Dweblogic.Stderr=C:bea103user_projectsdomainsTest_DomainASstderr.txt %MEM_ARGS%
call "C:bea103wlserver_10.3serverbininstallSvc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL

NOTE: Make sure that the -Dcom.sun.management.* flags are added properly in the JAVA_OPTIONS of the script.

Step2). Now You can also use the following Script to Uninstall your WebLogic Server Windows Service …

SETLOCAL
set WL_HOME=C:bea103wlserver_10.3
rem *** Uninstall the service
"%WL_HOME%serverbinbeasvc" -remove -svcname:"beasvc Test_Domain_AdminServer"
ENDLOCAL

Step3). Now Write the following JMX code “GenerateHeapDump.java”  inside some directory.

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.io.*;
import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnector;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory;
import javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL;
import javax.naming.Context;
import java.lang.management.MemoryMXBean;
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;
import javax.management.*;
import javax.management.openmbean.CompositeDataSupport;

public class GenerateHeapDump
{
private static MBeanServerConnection connection;
private static JMXConnector connector;
public static void Connection(String hostname, String port) throws IOException
{
Integer portInteger = Integer.valueOf(port);
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
JMXServiceURL address = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://"+hostname+":"+port+"/jmxrmi");
connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(address,null);
connection = connector.getMBeanServerConnection();
System.out.println("GOT THE MBeanServerConnection---SUCCESSFULLY");
}

private static void doGarbageCollection() throws Exception
{
ObjectName memoryMXBean=new ObjectName("java.lang:type=Memory");
connection.invoke(memoryMXBean,"gc", null, null);
System.out.println("nnt------Garbage Collection Done Successfully-----");
}

private static void getHeapDump(String fileName) throws Exception
   {
      ObjectName memoryMXBean=new ObjectName("com.sun.management:type=HotSpotDiagnostic");
      Object[] params = new Object[] { "C:/WindowsService_Script/"+fileName, Boolean.TRUE };
      String[] signature = new String[] { String.class.getName(), boolean.class.getName() };
      Object result = connection.invoke(memoryMXBean, "dumpHeap" , params, signature);
      System.out.println("nt Heap Dump Generated to " +fileName);
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
String hostname = args[0];
String port = args[1];
Connection(hostname, port);
System.out.println("nt----------Generating Heap Dump---------");
getHeapDump("HeapDump.hprof");
connector.close();
}
}

Step4). Run your Windows Service and then compile and run your Program to generate the HeapDump.

C:WindowsService_Script>set PATH=c:bea103jdk160_05bin;%PATH%;

C:WindowsService_Script>javac GenerateHeapDump.java

C:WindowsService_Script>java GenerateHeapDump localhost 9999
GOT THE MBeanServerConnection---SUCCESSFULLY

        ----------Generating Heap Dump---------

         Heap Dump Generated to HeapDump.hprof

Step5). Now you can see that the Heap Dump is generated as desired … 🙂
