eclipse MAT in headless mode

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

copy your heapdump into an otherwise empty directory (if it is gz
uncompress it, in case of IBM you need to run jextract on it (but not
uncompress it afterwards).

Then you unpack MAT on your machine, you will find a batch file and a
shell script ParseHeapDump.sh in the start directory, use it to process
your heapdump. You need to set your PATH variable to incluse an
aproperiate java executable first.

It will populate the directory with all kind of index
files. The whole directory can then be copied to a smaller desktop
machine.

Instead of only parsing you can also generate some reports. This FAQ
entry here is about something else, but it lists the report names:
