Re: Workspace Error?

Hi Kirk,

It sounds like WDSC is not shutting down properly, i.e. some part of WDSC 
continues to run after the UI has gone away.  Which version of WDSC are 
you using?

We will need a core dump of the Java Virtual Machine to figure out which 
part is not shutting down properly.  Here is how you can get one of those:

1.  Append the -consoleLog to the end of the shortcut that starts WDSC. 
For example: "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\rationalsdp.exe" 
-consoleLog
2.  The next time you start WDSC it will open a Command prompt window that 
shows all output written to the .log file in real-time (feel free to just 
ignore this).
3.  When you shutdown WDSC wait for awhile (2 or 3 minutes should be 
sufficient) and if the Command prompt window has not gone away then switch 
to the Command prompt window and press Ctrl + Break.  You will get 
something printed out like the following:

JVMDUMP006I Processing Dump Event "user", detail "" - Please Wait.
JVMDUMP007I JVM Requesting Java Dump using 'C:\Program 
Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.
0\javacore.20060804.115711.3112.txt'
JVMDUMP010I Java Dump written to C:\Program 
Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\javacore.
20060804.115711.3112.txt
JVMDUMP013I Processed Dump Event "user", detail "".

Wait for another two minutes (it can take that long to generate the core 
dump) and then send me the generated javacore file.  You can find this 
file in the root directory where you installed WDSC, for example: 
C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0>dir *core*

01/25/2007  12:45 PM           718,811 javacore.20070125.124511.5188.txt

If you have multiple javacore files then look for the one with the current 
date (shown in the filename right after javacore.)

Feel free to just leave the -consoleLog on until you hit the problem.  It 
won't have any impact on the regular usage of WDSC.

Thanks.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Workspace Error?






How long should we wait?  I believe that it was 15-30 minutes between the 
time I shutdown WDSC and restarted getting the Workspace in use error.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Workspace Error?






FWIW

I would expect that a fast exit-restart of WDSC would give a workspace in 
use message.  Some time ago I was told by "persons in the know" that when 
you end WDSC the fact that the GUI has gone away does not mean that it is 
ended yet.  The javaw process will stick around for a bit and finish doing 


all it's state saving and stuff.  If you end it with the task manager it 
will just take that much longer to start the next time.  So my 
recommendation is just to be patient. This way everything will run like it 


should and you won't risk damaging your workspace by killing the javaw 
process.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Workspace Error?






I just encountered the same problem a few minutes ago.  I attempted to 
delete that .lock file from the .metadata directory like the message 
suggested.  Because the file was being used by another process, I was not 
able to delete it.  I then used the Task Manager to locate the javaw.exe 
process and ended it (since there were two instances of javaw.exe, I 
picked the one using more memory).  That allowed me to restart WDSC in the 



same workspace without problems.

HTH,
Kirk

Re: [WDSCI-L] Workspace Error?







James,

I believe there is a file called LOCK. In your workspace that determines
if it is in use or not.  Try removing that file and see if you can use
the workspace.  One of our developers here had a similar issue with a
shared workspace.  Never did get a definitive solution.

HTH,

Rick

Sometimes when we close WDSC and start it back up it says
that the defined workspace is in use.  Does memory not get
flushed out sometimes?
