Enabling IBM Heap Dump on Webshpere V5.0

[Moha Shaf]

I want to enable Heap Dump collection on the JVM that is part of Websphere Application Server V5.0 installation. The websphere is installed on Red Hat Linux 7.2 Enterprise Edition.
I do not have permission to set any environment variables on the Linux box. I have permissions to start the JVM only through a script i.e. i do not have the permission to start the JVM with certain parameters. I have access to Admin Console though.
Is there a way to enable collection of IBM HeapDump under these constraints?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have access to the wsadmin tool? You can generate a heap dump manually.

Generate heap dump

I believe the process is the same for WAS 5.x

I checked it. I do not have permission to wsadmin also. All I have is access to start/stop the JVM using a script and also access to Websphere Admin Console.

This can be set by using Admin Console following way
Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Process Definition > Environment Entries > New
IBM_HEAPDUMP=TRUE
