As people move towards container platforms such as Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, a useful intermediate step is to run containers in virtual machines. This allows for testing containers in existing environments by replacing existing processes or running side-by-side. In addition to testing...
In a previous post , we discussed the general value of getting operating system core dumps on Linux to investigate Java crashes and other diagnostics. In a subsequent post , we discussed general best practices for gathering Linux core dumps by used a piped kernel core pattern. In this post,...
I wanted to share information with this community about the lab sessions about Liberty on VMs at the IBM TechXchange conference next month. I will be attending the conference from September 11-14 in Las Vegas. WebSphere Liberty, a lightweight, high-performance, enterprise-grade Java...
I'm looking forward to September's TechXchange conference where I'll be participating in a number of sessions around Liberty and Liberty on Azure: 4151: Elevating Cloud Capabilities: Crafting Cloud-Native Java Apps with WebSphere Liberty on Azure - in this session, I'll be co-speaking with...
The June release of IBM ® Mono2Micro ™ enriches the utility and common code discovery experience with an improved AI that now considers both static code analysis as well as dynamic instrumentation of executed code as use cases are run. Java monolith application classes that tend to have...
PhantomReferences are a way for a Java application to perform post-mortem cleanup (using fields in a subclass of PhantomReference rather than the referent) as opposed to finalizers that are pre-mortem. Java 9 added Cleaner which is an easier way to work with PhantomReferences. As with...
In general, it has become an industry best practice to set the Linux core pattern to a piped core dump processing program. The most common modern such programs are |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump and |/usr/share/apport/apport . Conversely, in general, it has become an industry ...
We have launched a new set of WebSphere Liberty on OpenShift labs titled App Runtimes OpenShift Day 2 Labs : https://ibm.github.io/AppRuntimesOpenShiftDay2Labs/ The purpose of the labs is to demonstrate common day 2 operations for WebSphere Liberty running on OpenShift (and other Kubernetes...
The April release of IBM ® Mono2Micro ™ enhances the analysis of your monolith applications by detecting potential utility classes and common code. After running the AI recommendation step to get suggestions on how to partition the monolith application, Mono2Micro will highlight any monolith...
Core dumps are requested to be produced when a process crashes or when an IBM Java or IBM Semeru Runtimes process runs out of Java heap space ( OutOfMemoryError ). These are critical diagnostic artifacts that help determine the cause of the problem through tools such as the Memory Analyzer Tool...
