What is the maximum number of heap dumps that can exist at once in the IBM WebSphere Application Server home directory?
To preserve disk space, the Performance and Diagnostic Advisor in IBM WebSphere Application Server restricts the number of heap dumps to a maximum of 10 existing at the same time in the home directory. This is to ensure system performance and avoid issues related to space consumption.
I think, fror experience that the correct answer is D, as many as allowed by disk size.
A. Important: To preserve disk space, the Performance and Diagnostic Advisor does not take heap dumps if more than 10 heap dumps already exist in the WebSphere Application Server home directory. Depending on the size of the heap and the workload on the application server, taking a heap dump might be quite expensive and might temporarily affect system performance. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was/8.5.5?topic=advisor-enabling-automated-heap-dump-generation
