IBM Extensions for Memory Analyzer (IEMA) Plugins

IDDE now has limited support for WebSphere Application Server IEMA plugins directly within IDDE and is available by installing the IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - Interactive Diagnostic Data Explorer Bridge for Memory Analyzer [Tech Preview] feature.
The limitations are summarized as

• No support for dominator tree or similar analysis,
• No interactive/graphical user interface elements.

The implementation provides a faster way to view the textual information contained in these plugins which are not targeted at memory analysis, a typical example of which is viewing product information. Subsequently if you decide that full memory analysis is required then you can launch Memory Analyzer at that point.

See How to download, install, and run tools through IBM Support Assistant Workbench 4.1 for information on how to install IDDE and other problem determination tools.
