>   To dump dynamic archive, requires start app with newly added flag `-XX:+RecordDynamicDumpInfo`, with this flag, some information related to dynamic dump like loader constraints will be recorded. Note the dumping process changed some object memory locations so for dumping dynamic archive, can only done once for a running app. For static dump, user can dump multiple times against same process. 
>    The file name is optional, if the file name is not supplied, the file name will take format of `java_pid<number>_static.jsa` or `java_pid<number>_dynamic.jsa` for static and dynamic respectively. The `<number>` is the application process ID.
