Description of JDEHEAP Advanced Diagnostics Engine (JADE)

JADE (JDEdwards Heap Advanced Diagnostic Engine) and BMD (Business Function Memory Diagnostic) are two advanced profiling tools which work cross-platform with the production level builds to diagnose memory leak issues.

These Profilers are to be used when the normal memory diagnostics do not yield adequate information.

BMD and JADE have a common problem domain of finding the source of memory consumption or leak within JDEdwards EnterpriseOne Kernel Space. However, they specialize in different use cases:

  • BMD Level 1 gives and overall idea of memory consumption.

  • BMD Level 2 and 3 provide growth of memory as a function of business functions.

Thus, BMD helps isolate which business functions are likely candidates for a memory consumption or leak.

On the other hand, JADE is a finer diagnostic tool and it works by collecting all memory allocations from the given Enterprise Server Kernel.

All memory that is left unallocated at the end of the run can be considered as a memory leak or excessive consumption - if start and stop points are chosen judiciously.
