Troubleshooting Design Studio problems
By default, Eclipse applications cache plug-ins. In certain circumstances, the default Eclipse behavior might prevent Design Studio from opening, cause Design Studio to be unstable or to exhibit the behavior of an earlier release, or cause the run map process to fail.
To avoid these problems, take one of the following steps before you open the Design Studio application:- Clear the cached version of the Design Studio plug-ins by running the cleanextenderstudio.bat file. The cleanextenderstudio.bat file is installed at the root of the install_dir directory.
- Delete the .metadata folder from your workspace, and then re-import the workspace, or switch to a different workspace.
- Your workspace got corrupted.
In this case, the open process fails when Eclipse attempts to open the Design Studio.
- You installed a patch that copied files to the wtxstudio
directory, or you installed a fix pack release on top of an Integration Platform
9.0.1 release.
In this case, Eclipse attempts to open Design Studio using cached versions of the Design Studio plug-ins, and the open process fails.
When failure to load a map ends Design Studio abnormally and you cannot re-start it, delete the .metadata folder and re-import the workspace, or switch to a different workspace.
