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.
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 keeps the tool internal
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 thinking of moving database artefacts within the workbench
- Scenario: You are considering moving database artefacts,
such as the XMI files for connection, database, schema and tables, within
the workbench.
- Solution: You cannot move the database artefacts 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 artefacts 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. This displays a list of the welcome pages available.
- Select the welcome page that you want, for example, Message
Broker Toolkit for WebSphere Studio - Message Broker.
- Click OK.
