Re: JAVA USED 95% OF THE GC HEAP.

The easiest and fastest way to find out is to issue the following command (I suggest you submit it in a program)

DMPJVM JOB(123456/QEJBSVR/WAS70SVR)

Substitute the proper job number and name for your server

On the output a page or two down you will see a section on Garbage collection. It will tell you the size of the HEAP and a bunch of other information.

If you put up this job and run it hourly you'll be able to figure out how many garbage collections are actually running and how big every thing is

Caution: on a heavily loaded server, it can cause the system to bog down while it's running.

I tried selecting "Web Performance Advisor". Ran for quite awhile but
nothing appears in pane.

Where do I check the stuff you mentioned?

Sent by: web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx The server can become overwhelmed by the garbage collection and all but become unresponsive. Check and see how often garbage collection is running. If it is more than several times an hour than you may need to increase the size of the heap. 262144 seems really small to me for any server with applications actually running.
