Dear All,
Whe had a crash on our system recently and one of the answer we received so far from SAP, was that this crash was caused by a Full Thread Dump (FTD)
I don't want to go in full detail of what were the consequences that this FTD caused, but to put it simple - the whole FTD was taking more than 13 min to conclude... and then the whole system colapsed.
SAP recommends to issue the FTD with caution.
But the question is - what type of caution ?
As an administrator, and if the system seems unstable, I need to be quick triggering FTD to be able to "see" what is wrong with the system, what is consuming resources, etc...
Thus a FTD is vital in this type of situations.
WIthout it we are blind.
So my questions are:
1) What impact does a Full Thread Dump has on the system ?
2) And if it has high impact u2013 what alternatives do we have to access the
necessary logs to help us troubleshooting admin issues ?
3) Does SAP has any recommendation regarding triggering full thread-dumps ?
4) And last, but not least, is it normal for a full thread-dump to last 13
minutes ?
Kindest Regards
