Problems in Configuration Tool windows

You might encounter various problems when you use the Configuration Tool, such as truncated titles and error messages. Follow the steps to resolve these issues.

The following sections describe the different problems that might occur on the Configuration Tool windows.

Translated titles might be truncated in Configuration Tool

Titles in the pop-up windows in the Configuration Tool might truncate depending upon the language. If this problem occurs, you can resize the window according to your display.

Some keyboard commands fail on Browse windows

On Windows™ systems, for functions in the Configuration Tool (such as Import LDIF data) that contain a path field with Browse, you might not be able to use the Space, Enter, or arrow keys on the keyboard to view the contents of the Look in menu on a Browse window. To work around this problem, press Alt + Down Arrow to display the Look in menu, and use the arrow keys to select a drive.

Task not highlighted when you use keyboard

On AIX® and Linux™ systems, in the Configuration Tool, tasks might not be highlighted when you use the arrow keys to move between tasks. Also, the information in the window on the right might not change. To select a task in the task list on the left, move to the specified task with the arrow keys, and then press the Spacebar.

NullPointer exception when you exit the Configuration Tool

If you exit the Configuration Tool after you enter an invalid database name, a NullPointer exception occurs in the command window where the idsxcfg command was run. The exception does not affect the configuration process.

Bulkload messages continue to be displayed in the table after the data is imported

In the Configuration Tool, if you import LDIF data and select the Bulkload option, messages continue to be displayed in the table even after the data is imported. Some of these messages might be exceptions, but the import is successful.
