 -XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak
•In SAP MMC right-click on the AS Java server process and select Dump Stack Trace

All options to get an HPROF dump in detail...
via Java VM parameters (see ConfigTool on how to set those for AS Java installations):
 •-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError writes heap dump on OutOfMemoryError (recommended)
•-XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak writes heap dump together with thread dump on CTRL+BREAK (recommended; use SAP MMC to trigger dumps for AS Java installations)
•-agentlib:hprof=heap=dump,format=b combines the above two settings (old way; not recommended as the VM frequently dies after CTRL+BREAK with strange errors)
