HI all, can I analysis live process without running it a while and dumping the heap? My problem is there is a server process which take 4GB memory and there is no way for my local PC to open the dump and analysis it.

Hi,
No, you can't. With MAT you can only analyze heap dumps. If you manage to get the heap dump parsed once (on a stronger box) then it should be fine to copy all the generated files on your PC and do the analysis. There is also a command line script for the parsing (mat/ParseHeapDump <heap dump>) which is sometimes helpful on servers where you have no GUI. But I don't know if this is an option for you.
Sorry, I can't give you a more positive answer at the moment.
