The command --help was not recognised Usage: "jdmpview -core [-verbose]" or "jdmpview -zip [-verbose]" or "jdmpview -version" To analyze dumps from DDR-enabled JVMs, jdmpview only requires a core file. The default ImageFactory is null. To change the ImageFactory use: -J-Dcom.ibm.dtfj.image.factoryclass= jdmpview can also be used in 'batch mode' whereby commands can be issued without entering an interactive prompt. This processing is controlled via the following command line options : -cmdfile : will read and sequentially execute a series of jdmpview commands in the specified file -charset : specifies the character set for the commands in -cmdfile. -outfile : file to store any output generated by commands -overwrite : specifies that the file specified by -outfile should be overwritten -append : specifies that the file specified by -outfile should be appended. It is possible to execute a single command without specifying a command file by appending the command to the end of the command line which executes jdmpview e.g. jdmpview -core mycore.dmp info class Finally, some commands which take the * parameter will need to have that specified on the command line as ALL This is to ensure correct processing by the OS e.g. jdmpview -core mycore.dmp info thread ALL
