Getting Started with VisualVM
You can access VisualVM from the bin directory of the JDK:
On a Windows system, start VisualVM by double-clicking jvisualvm.exe.
You can also select VisualVM from the Start menu (if Windchill shortcuts are installed).
On other systems, start VisualVM by invoking the jvisualvm script.
You can also use the wt.util.jmx.SMVisualVM command line utility to connect to VisualVM. The utility directly connects to the server manager using the local JMX connection and is useful in cases where your server processes are not automatically visible to VisualVM. for example, you can use the utility when Windchill is run as a Windows service and thus, by default, under a different user.
