Initial setup to write and test WAS-related analyzers
The general documentation for the Dump Analyzer tool explains how to set-up the environment to compile and test new analyzer modules. However, note that the general documentation focuses on the base infrastructure for the Dump Analyzer tool, which does not contain any WAS specific modules. To take advantage of the library of pre-existing WAS analysis modules, add the file wasAnalyzers.jar to your Java class path, in addition to the other JAR files specified for the base Dump Analyzer tool. The complete set of JARS required is as follows:
- dumpAnalyzer.jar (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda_(version number))
- dtfj-interface.jar (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda_(version number)/lib/j9)
- dtfj.jar for Java 5.0 and above (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda_(version number)/lib/j9)
- dtfj.jar for Java 1.4.2 (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda_(version number)/lib/sov)
- coreAnalyzers.jar (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda.core_(version number))
- wasAnalyzers.jar (found in toolsDir/plugins/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda.was_(version number))
In all of the file paths above, toolsDir denotes the directory where ISAv4 installs the tools (on Microsoft Windows, this is by default
C:\Documents and Settings\ <user ID>\IBM\ISAv4\applications\eclipse; on Linux it is a subdirectoryIBM/ISAv4/applications/eclipseunder the user home directory.).
