1.1 Leak analysis does not work when connected to Agent Controller 6.0.1.

If you are running a version of this product that is older than 6.0.1, with Agent Controller 6.0.1,  and you profile for memory leak analysis, your application will launch normally. You will be able to collect heap dumps and the collected heaps will appear in the Profiling Monitor. However, when you run Analyze for Leaks on these captured heap dumps, you will get a Warning dialog box with the message:

Leak Analysis failed in step: Creating heap object reference graph.

This is because Agent Controller 6.0.1 includes a Profiling Agent that supports an improved, compact binary (opt) heap format. The new heap files are named with the file extension .trcopt while the old files have the file extension .trchoh. Previous versions of this product support the old .trchoh files and do not support the new .trcopt files. The Object Reference Graph view also does not work for the same reason.

To work around this problem you must install this refresh pack. Profile your application for memory leak analysis and capture heap dumps. Run Analyze for Leaks on these heap dumps.
