WebSphere is often run on top of the IBM Java or IBM Semeru Runtimes JVM (both hereafter referred to as the J9 JVM). One of the biggest diagnostic features of the J9 JVM is the ability to cheaply gather a thread dump using the "SIGQUIT" signal to create a file with thread stacks, lock contention...
Linux core dumps are files produced by the Linux operating system that dump out all of the memory of a process at a point in time. They are most often used for OutOfMemoryErrors and crash analysis, but have other uses as well. Gathering good core dumps is often a problem so this post will...
