项目中碰到的情况，居然产生了20多G，把硬盘占满、服务Down掉。原因可能：出现过多内存泄漏,或者分配过多大内存等。解决方法：1、进入was管理控制台，选择 应用程序服务器 > server1 > 进程定义 > Java 虚拟机，将"最大堆大小"改为768或1024以上（跟机器内存相关，你的机器最好有较大内存）。保存。
2、优化你的程序，减少要求分配较大内存的设计，优化数据连接池。
3、给was打补丁。ibm网站上有相关补丁下载，不过最好升级到同系列的最新版本
4、修改启动文件，使之不产生这些文件，设置如下：
export IBM_HEAP_DUMP=false
export IBM_HEAPDUMP=false
export IBM_HEAPDUMP_OUTOFMEMORY=false
export IBM_JAVACORE_OUTOFMEMORY=false分析以上4中方法，只有方法2才是根本解决之道。针对4，IBM网站上有详细阐述，特附如下：http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21140641Out of Memory (Java heap) specific MustGather information
Set up for enabling heap dump file generation:
For releases of V6.0:
To set the Environment Entries from the administrative console, select the following:
Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Environment Entries > New
Add the following Name and Value pairs:
Name Value
IBM_HEAPDUMP true
IBM_HEAP_DUMP true
IBM_HEAPDUMPDIR your_directory
IBM_HEAPDUMP_OUTOFMEMORY true
IBM_JAVADUMP_OUTOFMEMORY true
IBM_JAVA_HEAPDUMP_TEXT true
3. Make sure that you save changes to the master configuration.
For release V5.1.1:
To set the Environment Entries from the administrative console, select the following:
Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Process Definition > Environment Entries > New
Add the following Name and Value pairs:
Name Value
IBM_HEAPDUMP true
IBM_HEAP_DUMP true
IBM_HEAPDUMPDIR your_directory
IBM_HEAPDUMP_OUTOFMEMORY true
IBM_JAVADUMP_OUTOFMEMORY true
IBM_JAVA_HEAPDUMP_TEXT true
Make sure that you save cr />
The file that is generated is called heapdumppid.time in internal format txt. This file can be very large; allow for at least the maximum heap size. If the maximum heap is set to 512 MB, allow for .5 GB for the dump.
Any version of WebSphere Application Server that is using the IBM JDK 1.3.1 SR5 or higher, and 1.4.X, will automatically generate heapdump and javacore files on an OutOfMemory condition. Adding the additional parameters will give you the option to manually generate heapdumps and also specify the directory in which to write the heapdump files. To manually generate heapdumps you will need to issue the WSADMIN command to generate javacore*.txt file. This will also produce a heapdump*.txt file.
When failure occurs:
This mechanism uses the same signal handler as javacore processing, so do not have DISABLE_JAVADUMP set as an environment variable.
Follow instructions on enabling verbosegc in WebSphere Application Server.
Delete all Application Server and FFDC log files, if possible. Back them up, if needed.
Restart the Application Server.
Wait for the OutOfMemoryError condition to occur. This should cause the generation of a heapdump.
If you want to analyze the heapdump yourself, follow instructions to use IBM HeapAnalyzer tool for analyzing JVM heap usage. If you do not want to analyze this yourself, proceed to step 8.
Collect the following files:
For releases of V6.0:
The server.xml file located in the following directory:
install_root\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\
cell_name\nodes\node_name\servers\server_name
Everything in the following directory:
install_root\profiles\profile_name\logs\server_name
Specifically, the following logs are needed:
systemErr
systemOut
native_stderr
native_stdout
heapdump*.txt or heapdump*.phd
javacore*.txt
Everything in the following directory:
install_root\profiles\profile_name\logs\ffdc
All documents requested For all releases below.
For releases of V5.0 and V5.1:
The server.xml file located in the following directory:
install_root\config\cells\nodes\node_name\servers\server_name
Specifically, the following logs are needed:
systemErr
systemOut
native_stderr
native_stdout
heapdump*.txt or heapdump*.phd
javacore*.txt
Everything from the following directory:
install_root\logs\server_name
Everything from the following directory:
install_root\logs\ffdc
All documents requested For all releases below.
For releases of V4.0 and V3.5:
A XMLConfig full export.
Everything from the following directory:
install_root\logs
Specifically, the following log files are needed:
stderr
stdout
tracefile
heapdump*.txt
javacore*.txt
All documents requested For all releases below.
For all releases
All javacore*.txt files that were created when OutOfMemory conditions occurred. If javacore*.txt files were created, you can find them in the install_root, install_root\bin or in the configured working directory.
Include the Application Server systemErr, systemOut, native_stderr, and native_stdout logs, if they are located in a different directory.
List of all other software and version information on the system. For example, any databases, WebSphere MQ, and so forth.
