<h1 id="dump-viewer-jdmpview">Dump viewer (<code>jdmpview</code>)</h1>
<p>The dump viewer is a command-line tool that allows you to examine the contents of system dumps produced from the OpenJ9 VM. The dump viewer allows you to view both Java&trade; and native information from the time the dump was produced.</p>
<p>For long running tasks, the dump viewer can also be run in batch mode.</p>
<p>The dump viewer is useful for diagnosing <code>OutOfMemoryError</code> exceptions in Java&trade; applications. For problems like general protection faults (GPFs), system abends, and SIGSEGVs, a system debugger such as <strong>gdb</strong> (Linux) provides more information.</p>

<p><i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <strong>Note:</strong> The <code>-core</code> option can be used with the <code>-zip</code> option to specify the core file in the compressed file. With these options, <code>jdmpview</code> shows multiple contexts, one for each source file that it identified in the compressed file.</p>
<p><i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <strong>Note:</strong> On AIX and Linux, some <code>jdmpview</code> commands must locate the executable and the native libraries that are referenced by the core. For example, commands that relate to call-sites. 
A common scenario involves using <code>jdmpview</code> to examine core files that originate on different systems. However, if the executable and the libraries are in their original locations, <code>jdmpview</code> might not consider them. Therefore, first check the executable and the list of native libraries by running <code>jdmpview</code> on a core with the <code>info mod</code> command.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>One way to assist <code>jdmpview</code> to locate those files is by specifying on the command line one or both of the path mapping option (<code>-J-Dcom.ibm.j9ddr.path.mapping=&lt;mappings&gt;</code>) and the library path option (<code>-J-Dcom.ibm.j9ddr.library.path=&lt;path&gt;</code>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Alternatively, on the system where the core file was produced, you can use <code>jextract</code> to collect all the relevant files into a single zip archive. That archive can be unpacked, possibly on another system, into a new, empty directory. Running <code>jdmpview</code> in that new directory (where the core file will be located) should enable it to find all the data it needs, including information that might not be included in the core file itself, such as symbols or sections. When you use an archive produced by <code>jextract</code>, setting the path or library mapping system properties should not be necessary.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>On z/OS&reg;, you can copy the dump to an HFS file and supply that as input to <code>jdmpview</code>, or you can supply a fully qualified MVS&trade; data set name. For example:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; jdmpview -core USER1.JVM.TDUMP.SSHD6.D070430.T092211
DTFJView version 4.29.5, using DTFJ version 1.12.29003
Loading image from DTFJ...
</code></pre>

<p>MVS data set names may contain the dollar sign ($). Names that contain a dollar sign must be enclosed by single quotation marks ('). For example:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; jdmpview -core 'USER1.JVM.$TDUMP.SSH$D7.D141211.T045506'
</code></pre>

<p>After <code>jdmpview</code> processes the dump files, a session starts, showing this message:</p>
<pre><code>For a list of commands, type &quot;help&quot;; for how to use &quot;help&quot;, type &quot;help help&quot;
&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>If you run the <code>jdmpview</code> tool on a compressed file that contains multiple dumps, the tool detects and shows all the dump files, whether these are system dumps, Java dumps, or heap dumps. Because of this behavior, more than one context might be displayed when you start <code>jdmpview</code>. To switch context, type <code>context &lt;n&gt;</code>, where <code>&lt;n&gt;</code> is the context value for the dump you want to investigate.</p>
<p>On z/OS, a system dump can contain multiple address spaces and an address space can contain multiple VM instances. In this case, the context allows you to select the address space and VM instance within the dump file. The following z/OS example shows address spaces (<code>ASID</code>), with two JVMs occupying address space <code>0x73</code> (context 5 and 6). The current context is 5 (<code>CTX:5&gt;</code>), shown with an asterisk. To view the JVM in context 6, you can switch by specifying <code>context 6</code>.  </p>
<pre><code>CTX:5&gt; context
Available contexts (* = currently selected context) :

0 : ASID: 0x1 : No JRE : No JRE
1 : ASID: 0x3 : No JRE : No JRE
2 : ASID: 0x4 : No JRE : No JRE
3 : ASID: 0x6 : No JRE : No JRE
4 : ASID: 0x7 : No JRE : No JRE
*5 : ASID: 0x73 EDB: 0x83d2053a0 : JRE 1.8.0 z/OS s390x-64 build 20181117_128845 (pmz6480-20181120_01)
6 : ASID: 0x73 EDB: 0x8004053a0 : JRE 1.8.0 z/OS s390x-64 build 20181117_128845 (pmz6480-20181120_01)
7 : ASID: 0x73 EDB: 0x4a7bd9e8 : No JRE
8 : ASID: 0xffff : No JRE : No JRE
</code></pre>

<p>If you are using <code>jdmpview</code> to view Java dumps and heap dumps, some options do not produce any output. For example, a heap dump doesn't contain the information requested by the <code>info system</code> command, but does contain information requested by the <code>info class</code> command.</p>
<p>If you are viewing a dump where there are a large number of objects on the heap, you can speed up the performance of <code>jdmpview</code> by ensuring that your system has enough memory available and does not need to page memory to disk. To achieve this, start <code>jdmpview</code> with a larger heap size by specifying the <code>-Xmx</code> option. Use the <code>-J</code> option to pass the <code>-Xmx</code> command line option to the JVM. For example:</p>
<pre><code>jdmpview -J-Xmx&lt;n&gt; -core &lt;core file&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The options available to the dump viewer session are shown under <a href="#session-parameters">Session parameters</a></p>
<h3 id="starting-in-batch-mode">Starting in batch mode</h3>
<p>For long running or routine jobs, <code>jdmpview</code> can be used in batch mode.</p>
<p>You can run a single command without specifying a command file by appending the command to the end of the <code>jdmpview</code> command line. For example:</p>
<pre><code>jdmpview -core mycore.dmp info class
</code></pre>
<p>When specifying jdmpview commands that accept a wildcard parameter, you must replace the wildcard symbol with <code>ALL</code> to prevent the shell interpreting the wildcard symbol. For example, in interactive mode, the command <code>info thread *</code> must be specified in the following way:</p>
<pre><code>jdmpview -core mycore.dmp info thread ALL
</code></pre>
<p>Batch mode is controlled with the following command line options:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Explanation</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>-cmdfile &lt;path to command file&gt;</td>
<td>A file that contains a series of jdmpview commands, which are read and run sequentially.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-charset &lt;character set name&gt;</td>
<td>The character set for the commands specified in -cmdfile (name must be a supported charset as defined in java.nio.charset.Charset. For example, US-ASCII)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-outfile &lt;path to output file&gt;</td>
<td>The file to record any output generated by commands.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-overwrite</td>
<td>If the file specified in -outfile exists, this option overwrites the file.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-append</td>
<td>If the file specified in -outfile exists, new output messages are appended to the end of that file. The -append and -overwrite options cannot be used at the same time.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The command file can have empty lines that contain spaces, or comment lines that start with // or #. These lines are ignored by jdmpview. Example command file:</p>
<pre><code>// commands.txt
info system
info proc
</code></pre>
<p>To run jdmpview in batch mode, using this command file, specify:</p>
<pre><code>jdmpview -outfile out.txt [-overwrite|-append] -cmdfile commands.txt -core &lt;path to core file&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>When the output file exists, you need to specify either the <code>-overwrite</code> option or the <code>-append</code> option. If you do not, an error message is generated.</p>
<h3 id="processing-output">Processing output</h3>
<p>You can redirect command output to a file, or pipe the command output to another command.</p>
<p>To redirect jdmpview command output to a file, use one of the following formats:</p>
<pre><code>command &gt; &lt;target_file&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>If the target file exists, this redirection overwrites the content within it.</p>
<pre><code>command &gt;&gt; &lt;target_file&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>If the target file exists, this redirection appends the output to it.</p>
<p>Where <code>&lt;target_file&gt;</code> is the file name, which can include the full path to the file.</p>
<p>To pipe <code>jdmpview</code> command output to another command, use the vertical bar (|) character. For example:</p>
<pre><code>command | grep string
</code></pre>
<p>You can chain more than two commands together by using multiple vertical bar characters.</p>
<p>The following commands can be used to interrogate the output:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#using-charsfrom"><code>charsFrom</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#using-charsto"><code>charsTo</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#using-grep"><code>grep</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#using-tokens"><code>tokens</code></a></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="using-charsfrom">Using <code>CharsFrom</code></h4>
<p>Use the <code>charsFrom</code> command after the vertical bar character to exclude all characters that come before a specified pattern in a resulting line.</p>
<pre><code>charsFrom &lt;options&gt; pattern
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>&lt;options&gt;</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>-e</code> or <code>-exclude</code> : Exclude the matched pattern from the resulting line. By default, the matched pattern is included in the resulting line.</li>
<li><code>-keep</code> : Keep lines that do not contain a match to the pattern. By default, lines that do not contain a match are excluded from the results.</li>
<li><code>-i</code> or <code>-ignoreCase</code> : Ignore case.</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, the following command displays resulting lines that contain the pattern <code>jre</code>, and trims each line to exclude all characters that come before this pattern:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info mod | charsFrom jre
jre/lib/ppc64/libzip.so @ 0x0, sections:
jre/lib/ppc64/libdbgwrapper80.so @ 0x0, sections:
jre/lib/ppc64/libverify.so @ 0x0, sections:
jre/lib/ppc64/libjava.so @ 0x0, sections:
jre/lib/ppc64/compressedrefs/libjclse7b_28.so @ 0x0, sections:
</code></pre>
<h4 id="using-charsto">Using <code>CharsTo</code></h4>
<p>Use the <code>CharsTo</code> command after the vertical bar character to include the characters in a resulting line until a specific pattern is found.</p>
<pre><code>charsTo &lt;options&gt; pattern
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>&lt;options&gt;</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>-include</code> : Include the matched pattern in the resulting line. By default, the matched pattern is excluded from the resulting line.</li>
<li><code>-keep</code> : Keep lines that do not contain a match to the pattern. By default, lines that do not contain a match are excluded from the results.</li>
<li><code>-i</code> or <code>-ignoreCase</code> : Ignore case.</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, the following command displays lines that contain the pattern "@", and trims each line to exclude all characters from "@" onwards:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info mod | charsTo @
bin/java
/usr/lib64/gconv/UTF-16.so
/test/sdk/lib/ppc64le/libnet.so
/test/sdk/lib/ppc64le/libnio.so
/test/sdk/lib/ppc64le/libzip.so
/test/sdk/lib/ppc64le/libjsig.so
libjsig.so
</code></pre>
<p>You can also use <code>charsFrom</code> and <code>charsTo</code> together, separated by a vertical bar character. For example, the following command displays lines that contain the pattern "lib", and trims each line to exclude all characters that come before this pattern, as well as all characters from the pattern <code>@</code> :</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info mod | charsFrom lib | charsTo @
lib/ppc64le/libzip.so
lib/ppc64le/libjsig.so
lib/ppc64le/libverify.so
lib/ppc64le/libjava.so
lib/ppc64le/compressedrefs/libj9jit29.so
</code></pre>
<p><i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <strong>Note:</strong> The line will not be displayed if the <code>charsFrom</code> and <code>charsTo</code> are used together, but only one of the patterns are matched in a line. Furthermore, the line will not be displayed if both patterns are matched in a line, but the <code>charsTo</code> pattern appears before, and not after, the <code>charsFrom</code> pattern.</p>
<h4 id="using-grep">Using <code>grep</code></h4>
<p>Use the <code>grep</code> command after the vertical bar character to show which lines match a specified pattern.</p>
<pre><code>grep &lt;options&gt; pattern
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>&lt;options&gt;</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>-i</code> : Ignore case.</li>
<li><code>-r</code>, <code>-G</code>, or <code>--regex</code>: Use a regular expression as defined in the Java documentation of the java.utils.regex.Pattern class.</li>
<li><code>-b</code> or <code>--block</code> : Show blocks of lines where at least one of the lines matches the pattern. Blocks of lines are separated by empty lines.</li>
<li><code>-A</code> &lt;NUM&gt; or +&lt;NUM&gt; : Show at most &lt;NUM&gt; lines after the matching line. For example grep -A 2 pattern or grep +2 pattern.</li>
<li><code>-B</code> &lt;NUM&gt; or -&lt;NUM&gt; : Show at most &lt;NUM&gt; lines before the matching line.</li>
<li><code>-C</code> &lt;NUM&gt; or +-&lt;NUM&gt; : Show at most &lt;NUM&gt; lines before and after the matching line.</li>
<li><code>-v</code> or <code>--invert-match</code> : Use with the grep command to show lines that do not match the pattern. These options are equivalent to the grep- command.</li>
<li><code>-F</code> or <code>--fixed-strings</code> : Do not treat the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character. Use these options with the <code>-r</code>, <code>-G</code>, or <code>--regex</code> options.</li>
</ul>
<p>Pattern rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>An asterisk (*) in a pattern is treated as a wildcard character unless you specify the <code>-F</code> or <code>--fixed-strings</code> options.</li>
<li>If a pattern contains spaces, enclose the pattern in a pair of double quotation marks (").</li>
<li>If a pattern contains double quotation marks, enclose the pattern in a pair of single quotation marks (').</li>
<li>
<p>You can specify multiple sub-patterns to match by using the following format, but only if you do not use the <code>-r</code>, <code>-G</code>, or <code>--regex</code> options:</p>
<p>"[pattern1|pattern2|...|patternN]"</p>
<p>The initial and trailing double quotation marks and brackets ([ ]) are required. Use a vertical bar character to separate the sub-patterns. Quotation marks and the vertical bar are not allowed in a sub-pattern. Spaces are allowed in the middle of a sub-pattern, but leading and trailing spaces will be trimmed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use the <code>grep</code> command to show lines that do not match the pattern.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, the following command displays the number of instances and total heap size for the <code>java/lang/String</code> class:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info class | grep java/lang/String              
94 7688 [Ljava/lang/String;            
1822 58304 java/lang/String               
1 16 java/lang/String$CaseInsensitiveComparator               
0 0 java/lang/String$UnsafeHelpers
</code></pre>
<p>The following command uses two pipes in combination to display the number of instances and total heap size for the <code>java/lang/StringCoding.StringDecoder</code> class:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info class | grep java/lang/String | grep -i decoder
1 48 java/lang/StringCoding$StringDecoder
</code></pre>
<h4 id="using-tokens">Using <code>tokens</code></h4>
<p>Use the <code>tokens</code> command after the vertical bar character to isolate specified tokens in the resulting lines.</p>
<pre><code>tokens [options] range[,range][..range]
</code></pre>
<p>You can define range in the following formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>x</li>
<li>x,y</li>
<li>x..y</li>
</ul>
<p>A set of rules applies to these formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>x or y can be prefixed with "-". This means that x or y are counting backwards from the end of a list. For example, a y value of -1 represents the last token in a list, while -2 represents the penultimate token in a list.</li>
<li>x must represent a token that either precedes or is at the same position as y.</li>
</ul>
<p>In this format, if x is omitted, it is assumed to be '1'. If y is omitted, it is assumed to be '-1'.</p>
<p>For example, the following command displays the first and second token for each resulting line:</p>
<pre><code>&gt; info mmap | grep -r ^0x | tokens 1,2
0x0000000000012fff 0x000000000000d000
0x0000000000017fff 0x0000000000004000
0x00000000009dafff 0x0000000000018000
0x00000000009fffff 0x000000000001f000
0x0000000000cbefff 0x0000000000002000
0x0000000000d76fff 0x0000000000001000
0x0000000003145fff 0x0000000000071000

</code></pre>
<h2 id="session-parameters">Session parameters</h2>
<p>When <code>jdmpview</code> is started, many parameters can be used during the session to interrogate the system dump data, which are divided into <em>general</em> and <em>expert</em> parameters. The <em>general</em> parameters are documented in this section. To see a list of <em>expert</em> parameters, use the <code>!j9help</code> option.</p>
<h3 id="j9help">!j9help</h3>

<dl>
<dd>Changes the working directory to <code>&lt;directory_name&gt;</code>. The working directory is used for log files. Logging is controlled by the <code>set logging</code> command. Use the <code>pwd</code> command to query the current working directory.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="cmdfile">cmdfile</h3>
<pre><code>    cmdfile &lt;directory_name&gt;

<dl>
<dd>Runs all of the commands in a file. The commands are read line by line and run sequentially. Empty lines, and lines that start with <strong>//</strong> or <strong>#</strong>, are ignored. Use the option charset to identify the character set that is used in the chosen file. The character set must be supported, as defined in <code>java.nio.charset.Charset</code>, such as <code>US-ASCII</code>.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="deadlock">deadlock</h3>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>This command detects deadlock situations in the Java application that was running when the system dump was produced. Example output:</p>
<pre><code>deadlock loop:
thread: Thread-2 (monitor object: 0x9e32c8) waiting for =&gt;
thread: Thread-3 (monitor object: 0x9e3300) waiting for =&gt;
thread: Thread-2 (monitor object: 0x9e32c8)
</code></pre>
<p>In this example, the deadlock analysis shows that <code>Thread-2</code> is waiting for a lock held by <code>Thread-3</code>, which is in turn waiting for a lock held earlier by <code>Thread-2</code>.</p>
<p>Threads are identified by their Java thread name, whereas object monitors are identified by the address of the object in the Java heap. You can obtain further information about the threads using the <code>info thread *</code> command. You can obtain further information about the monitors using the <code>x/J &lt;0xaddr&gt;</code> command.</p>

<dl>
<dd>
<p>This command searches for <code>&lt;pattern&gt;</code> in the memory segment from <code>&lt;start_address&gt;</code> to <code>&lt;end_address&gt;</code> (both inclusive), and shows the number of matching addresses you specify with <code>&lt;matches_to_display&gt;</code>. You can also display the next <code>&lt;bytes_to_print&gt;</code> bytes for the last match.</p>
<p>By default, the <code>find</code> command searches for the pattern at every byte in the range. If you know the pattern is aligned to a particular byte boundary, you can specify <code>&lt;memory_boundary&gt;</code> to search every <code>&lt;memory_boundary&gt;</code> bytes. For example, if you specify a <code>&lt;memory_boundary&gt;</code> of "4", the command searches for the pattern every 4 bytes.</p>

This command examines the memory location at <code>&lt;hex_address&gt;</code> and tries to find out more information about this address. For example:<pre><code>&gt; whatis 0x8e76a8

heap #1 - name: Default@19fce8
0x8e76a8 is within heap segment: 8b0000 -- cb0000
0x8e76a8 is start of an object of type java/lang/Thread
</code></pre>
</dd>

<dd>
<p>Passes the number of items to display and the unit size, as listed in the following table, to the sub-command. For example, <code>x/12bd</code>.</p>

<dd>
<p>Displays information about a particular object, or all objects of a class. If <code>&lt;class_name&gt;</code> is supplied, all static fields with their values are shown, followed by all objects of that class with their fields and values. If an object address (in hex) is supplied, static fields for that object's class are not shown; the other fields and values of that object are printed along with its address.</p>

<dl>
<dd>
<p>Where the size is defined by the pointer size of the architecture, this parameter shows the value of each section of memory. The output is adjusted for the hardware architecture this dump file is from, starting at the specified address. It also displays a module with a module section and an offset from the start of that module section in memory if the pointer points to that module section. If no symbol is found, it displays a "*" and an offset from the current address if the pointer points to an address in 4KB (4096 bytes) of the current address. Although this command can work on an arbitrary section of memory, it is probably more useful on a section of memory that refers to a stack frame. To find the memory section of a thread stack frame, use the info thread command.</p>
