An IBM text heap dump, an IBM PHD heap dump, or a Sun-based JVMs HPROF binary heap dump contains the data from the Java heap, but does not provide stack trace data. When JProbe imports it, the same views are available as if JProbe had taken a snapshot with only a heap dump, that is, it will not be able to provide the Locations and Location Detail views, the Merged Allocation Points view, or the Allocated At pane of the Instance Detail view. Note that there are some additional minor limitations in snapshots imported from IBM heap dumps.
