IV13166: NEW FUNCTION: SUPPORT FOR THE JAVA ATTACH API

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• New Function
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• Using the Java Attach API, sometimes called the "late attach"
  capability, an application can connect to another "target"
  virtual machine. The application can then load an agent
  application into the target virtual machine to, for example,
  perform tasks such as status monitoring.
  
  Before the Java Attach API, code for agent applications, such as
  JMX agents or JVMTI agents, was loaded during virtual machine
  startup by specifying special startup parameters. Having to
  specify startup parameters might not be convenient for using
  agents on applications that are already running, such as
  WebSphere© Application Servers. With the Java Attach API an
  agent can be loaded at any time, by specifying the process ID of
  the target virtual machine.
  
  A description of the Java Attach API package
  com.sun.tools.attach    including options for use and security
  considerations, can be found in the IBM User Guide for your Java
  release and Operating System, under     "Developing Java
  Applications"-> "Support for the Java Attach API".
  
  This new function is available from:
      Java 5 SR10, disabled by default except with Java 5 SR10 on
  z/OS
      Java 6 SR6,  enabled by default except on z/OS
      Java 6 R26 and Java 7 GA, enabled by default on all
  platforms.
  this function can be enabled or disabled where necessary by
  using a system property.  Consult the User Guide for more
  information.
