Problem
For issues where workflow executions appear to be “hung” or “stuck” with statuses not being updated, it is helpful to the support team to receive thread dumps from the java processes used by FlexDeploy. These instructions provide details to collect the thread dumps for the FlexDeploy server JVM and the JVM which executes a plugin operation on an endpoint.
Solution
To generate the thread dump for the FlexDeploy server, you must first locate the process id (PID) of the underlying JVM.
ps -ef |grep flexdeploy
Now run the following command to signal the thread dump.
jstack
Download and attached the FlexDeploy logs to the support ticket.
To generate the thread dump for an endpoint, similarly you must locate the PID for the JVM running the plugin operation.
ps -ef |grep ExternalPluginServer
Signal the thread dump.
