Troubleshooting
Problem
Data Studio Web Console fails to launch within Data Studio because the Flash plugin is not installed.
Symptom
Data Studio/Eclipse has a built-in web browser that would handle a Web Console request but could fail to open with a message indicating that Adobe Flash is required. Even after installing the Adobe Flash plugin the error can continue.
For example via the Data Studio Administer Databases perspective:
- In the Administration Explorer drill down to a DB2 database and establish a connection
- Right-click on that database and choose Monitor->Health Summary
- Data Studio Web Console will try to establish a connection and then launch the Health Summary in the browser window. This can fail with a message indicating Adobe Flash is required even though it was already installed.
