Managing USS home directory configuration and heap dump capture in BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Java Environments

This section provides a step-by-step procedure to manage Java heap dumps in BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Java Environments for the following actions:

  • Capturing Java heap dumps from the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Java Environments JVM (MJEJVM) component
  • Redirecting dump output to a custom directory for MJEJVM
  • Configuring the USS home directory for the PAS user ID

You can use this procedure to troubleshoot memory-related issues or to control where dumps are written in your z/OS UNIX environment. 

Warning

Important

For this document, as an example, the PAS user ID is assumed to be SJSTC with a USS home directory of /var/SJSTC. Replace these with your site’s PAS user ID and path as applicable.

Warning

Applying maintenance might overwrite the changes to the Java heap dump location. To ensure that they are preserved, you must reapply the procedure after the maintenance process completes.
