Most of you are probably familiar with the powerful Solaris OS prstat command. This command allows you to generate a snapshot of all running Java VM Threads along with CPU % for each of them.
When combined with Thread Dump analysis, it allows you to pinpoint high CPU problems such as:
· Java Threads involved in infinite or heavy loopin
· Java Threads involved in excessive / nonstop garbage collection (GC Threads)
· Java Threads involved in heavy logging / IO activities
This analysis strategy is extremely important for any individual involved in Java EE middleware and / or application support such as Oracle Weblogic, IBM Websphere, RedHat JBoss etc.
Ok thanks but I’m using the AIX OS; what can I do?
The prstat command is not available on the AIX OS but fortunately there is an equivalent command & strategy that you can use to simulate and generate the same Thread & CPU % breakdown.
This is great news. Now please show me how it works
Please simply follow the instructions below:
1) Identify the AIX process Id of your Java VM process
2) When high CPU is observed, execute the following command: ps -mp -o THREAD
Example: ps –mp captured of a Weblogic Java process running at 40% CPU utilization

3) Immediately after, generate a Java VM Thread Dump by executing kill -3 . This command will generate a AIX / IBM Thread Dump (javacore.xyz format). At this point, you should have both ps –mp data output and a AIX Java VM Thread Dump
4) Now analyse your ps –mp output data identify the Thread Id(s) with the highest CPU contribution and convert the TID decimal format to HEXA format
Example: Thread TID: 9502781 >> 91003D
5) At this point, you are now ready to pinpoint and determine why such Java Thread(s) is / are using so much CPU. The answer is in the JVM Thread Dump. Simply search form the Thread Dump using the Thread TID; HEXA format. The final step is to analyze the affected Thread(s) Stack Trace and determine the root cause e.g. application code problem, middleware problem etc.
Example: In our example, the primary culprit (Thread TID: 0x91003D) was identified in the Thread Dump. As you can see, this Thread is currently involved in an infinite loop condition from a Hashmap. This is a common problem when using non Thread safe Hashmap data structure and combined with high concurrent Threads.
