Hello,

You can always get the old thread dump, provided you have "enabled" the mechanism to generate thread dumps and archive them. The infra should keep on generating thread dumps from server using some tools (like Kill-3, JVisualM, JMC, etc..). So, to get thread dumps of past time, you should first check if your servers are enabled to generate thread dumps or not. If not, I fear you may not get the old dumps. If yes, then you can get the thread dumps from the tool you are using. The server or infra people would be able to help you with the dumps, in case you are not having access to the servers.

If you want to enable thread dump generation over some interval of time, then:

Go: HAC-> Monitoring -> ThreadDump -> Record Dumps ：This feature provides the possibility to select thread dumps over a period of time. You can select in which time periods the thread dumps are being collected. The thread dumps will be downloaded as zip File after clicking stop. Suppose you select 30 mins from drop down, so a new thread dump file will generate every 30 mins.

Please note, this will make use of server space depending upon the thread dump size.

Thank you!
