Use the advice given here to help you to resolve some common problems that can occur when you use the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit that are not dealt with in previous categories.
Main menu entries missing on Linux
Procedure
Editors do not update automatically when the same file is open in multiple windows
Procedure
- Scenario: You are working in the Integration Development
perspective, and are using the associated
editor to work with one or more resources; for example, you are editing
a message flow in the message flow editor or an ESQL module in
the ESQL editor. You have clickedto create a second Eclipse view, and have opened the same resource in the second window. Changes that you make to the resource in the first editor window are not reflected in the second editor window.
- Explanation: The IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit editors do not automatically update multiple windows in which you have opened the same resource.
- Solution: Save the contents of the resource file
in the first editor window, then close and reopen additional windows.
The reopened windows reflect the updated content.
Deleting or closing a project takes a long time
Procedure
- Scenario: Deleting or closing a project to save memory takes a long time.
- Explanation: If a project is referenced by other projects, removing that project requires all the other projects, and the projects that refer to them recursively, to be built fully. This process occurs to keep the content-assist and validation models current.
- Solution: To keep a project open in the workspace requires very little memory, therefore you do not need to close or delete projects.

Procedure
- Scenario: You are experiencing poor performance in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit when working with large or complex projects.
- Explanation: Frequent project changes, such as adding and removing projects, or using , use large amounts of memory because of the size and number of files and the connections between them.
- Solution: Increase your system memory.
