Convert IBM .phdfile to .hprof heap dump format

I am trying to analyse a dump file from a websphere production machine, at the moment I am not succesfull because the file is of the type .phd, and well things wo开发者_开发百科uld be alot easier when the file could be converted to .hprof

It is not generally possible to convert a PHD to HProf format. Have you tried using Eclipse MAT?

For PHD dumps use JProbe (see http://www.quest.com/jprobe), where you can import IBM PHD Dump files and analyze them. JProbe is a really powerful and easy to use tool for java profiling. You can also use JProbe plug-in for Eclipse if you like Eclipse environment. Regards, Lukas.
