Profiling option

Hi,
Can you somebody pl tell me how to get profile data using time slice? I would like to know state of heap after particular time for specified duration.

I know the using runhprof we can get heap profile data, can we add time slice parameter to it?

-Xrunhprof:heap=all,cpu=samples,file=myfile.txt

I tried using -Xeprof with time slice but that doesn't give head metric.

Thanks in advance.

Try with

Xrunhprof:heap=dump,thread=y,cutoff=0,format=a,doe=n

Send a signal after objects have beed created:

kill -s SIGQUT

to dump out the java.hprof.txt file with the data and use hpjmeter for analysis.

hope this heps,
Cheers,

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your response. My problem is that the application is of Enterprise class. If I start profiling during startup then the application takes long time to initialize, even after 40 mins my application didn't start. I have set heap size to 512 and memory used during startup is 200mb. If would like to know if there is any setting wherein I can get heap profile data based on time slice. For e.g. after start up I would like to get heap profile from 30th min to 31st min.
