Incase your NWA is inaccessible due to some reason, you can trigger a thread dump using jsmon
from OS level.

Login to the specific server as ‘sidadm’ and execute jsmon.

Run process view and get a list of the process id for the corresponding server node.

Imagine if you need thread dump for server 0 , specify the id ‘Idx’ for the same to get a thread dump
for the same.
The thread dump would be written to the below files.

/usr/sap/SID/<Instance>/work/std_server<node>.out

/usr/sap/SID/<Instance>/work/dev_server<node>
3. Java Thread dump generation using SAP MMC:

Login to SAP MMC using port “5<Instance no>13”

The thread dump would be written to the below files.

/usr/sap/SID/<Instance>/work/std_server<node>.out
