2. For AMT Traces :
   1. Click on "Run Analysis only option" in CMS (this option is not available when taking a snapshot).

   3. Check " Activate AMT Memory Profiling " option.
      
      
      
   4. Click Finish.

      The AMT Traces location can be found in this link : CAST Management Studio - Information - How to find logs#Information-Howtofindlogs-AMTMemoryprofiling

      This log will be picked up by the CAST Support Tool (CST) - alias Sherlock option Export Logs

3. For Perfmon Manager traces:

   1. Open Cast-MS, but do not launch the job.

   2. Start PerfMon by choosing Start >Run and typing "perfmon".

   3. Right click Performance Monitor >> New >> Data Collector set ( in case it is disabled for you, you may need to have admin privilege)

   4. Add name for Data Collector set.
      

   5. Add path to save the log.

   12. Add name and select "Performance counter data collector".
       

   13. Click Next.

   14. Click Add.

   15. Select Computers.

   16. Expand "process" and select "virtual bytes" as counter.
       

   17. Select AnaRun in Instances of selected object (this may instead be jeecmd or dotnetcmd).

   18. Click Add and then click OK.

   19. Click Next.

   20. Click Finish.

   21. Now right click on the newly created data collector in the right panel.

   25. Now right click on the collector set and go for start.

   26. Now run the job in AnaMan to reproduce the issue.

   27. Once it is reproduced, provide the perfmon log. The name of the Log is <the name of your DATACOLLECTOR>.tsv like below screenshot :
