Error description
Performance Analysis writes customization setting to this Windows registry category: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Current Version\Designer Will cause the Performance Analysis to fail for all non admin accounts (unless specific permission are granted to the DataStage user for this registry key). Error seen by users is similar to this: "Exception occured in AnalysisDialog consructor():Requiested registry access is not allowed." Correct Windows Registry key to store the customizaitions is: HKEY_CURENT_USER\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Current Version\Designer Since that is user specefic registry.
Local fix
Grant full control to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Current Version\Designer Windows registry key to DataStage users.
