Resolving non-specific problems when using the IBM Integration Toolkit
Use the advice given here to help
you to resolve some common problems that can occur when you use the IBM® Integration Toolkit that are not dealt with in previous
categories.
Main menu entries missing on Linux
Procedure
Scenario: The main menu on Linux
no longer contains items that relate to the IBM Integration Toolkit.
Explanation: If you have installed the IBM Integration Toolkit in more than one package
group, and have now removed one of those installations, a known restriction
causes the main menu items to be removed when the component is uninstalled.
Solution: Invoke the IBM Integration Toolkit from the command line. Navigate to the installation directory for the package group
in which you have installed the IBM Integration Toolkit,
and enter the following command:
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 clicked Window > New Window to 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 Integration 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.
You are experiencing poor performance when working with large
or complex projects
Procedure
Scenario: You are experiencing poor performance
in the IBM Integration Toolkit when working with
large or complex projects.
Explanation: Frequent project changes, such as adding
and removing projects, or using Project > Clean, use large amounts of memory
because of the size and number of files and the connections
between them.
Solution: Increase your system memory.
You do not know how to return to the welcome page
Procedure
Scenario: You do not know how to return to the welcome
page that was displayed in the IBM Integration Toolkit when
you first started using it.
Solution: To open the welcome page:
From the Help menu, select Welcome. If only one welcome page is available, it is displayed.
If more than one is available, a list is displayed.
Select the welcome page that you want, for example, IBM Integration BusIBM Integration Toolkit.
