Resolving non-specific problems when using the workbench
This topic contains advice for dealing with some common problems
that can arise when you use the workbench,
yet are not dealt with in previous categories.
Deleting or closing a project takes a long time
- 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 so you do not need to close or delete projects.
You are experiencing poor performance when working with large or complex
projects
- Scenario: You are experiencing poor performance in the workbench when working with large or complex projects.
- Explanation: Frequent project changes, such as adding and
removing projects, or using , use large amounts of memory due to the size and number of
files and the connections between them.
- Solution: Increase your system memory.
You are considering moving database resources within the workbench
- Scenario: You are considering moving database resources
within the workbench, such as the XMI files
for connection, database, schema, and tables.
- Solution: You cannot move database resources after they
are imported. The only move that you can perform without affecting
the integrity of the files is between two projects while keeping the project-relative
path of the files unchanged. To place the database resources in a different
folder, import them again from the database.
You do not know how to return to the welcome page
- Scenario: You do not know how to return to the welcome page
that was displayed in the workbench 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, WebSphere Message Broker Message Broker Toolkit.
- Click OK.
