Heap fragmentation on HPUX

Hi All,

We are facing issues on HPUX with the C heap region growing. We use a product for CRM by name ClarifyCRM and it uses a native layer for DB access. so there are best practices in place to actual control memory. recently we have seen issues that the C heap region is growing faster than expected and we have to bounce the weblogic server every day on the product ion system which are mission critical servers.

ClarifyCRM has provided a text utility to check the Diagnostic information of the serves how it is handling the DB related Objects both on the Java Heap and also on Native layer,but they look fine and ClarifyCRM also confirmed the same thing. The only option we left out was to see which part of the code in the native layer is causing the problem, so we decided to let the server crash and analyse the core for C Heap growth and related fragmentation.

Can someone tell me how to analyse Core and check the MemMap on the Process and Data Region on OS.

Regards
Ram
