Database Studio does not start anymore

[Former Member]

Hello,

since some days my database studio does not start anymore. I get an error "Could not connect user" on startup.

The event log shows the attached exceptions.

I already uninstalled and reinstalled 64bit version 7.9.08.32

The problem persists!

What else can I do?

Regards,

Jens

Hi Jens,

Please check the java environment used as per SAP note 2213168.

Hi James,

as always: Thanks very much!

The issue was not the java version, though. I had to delete the DatabaseStudio folder as of option 6 in the note 2213168.

The note describes how to retain the landscape data.

This did not work for me as I did not have a file .metadata . I only have a folder .metadata .

Do you know what I need to backup on Windows?

I'd also recommend to add the windows shortcut to the SDB folder which is:

%userprofile%\sdb\DatabaseStudio

Hi Jens,

You are welcome.

Are you able to launch the database studio finally?
If so, it seems that the landscape metadata was missing? I think you can just manually add the landscape back by adding server node.

Hi James,

yes, DB Studio is working fine again.

I added a new server node. And still there is no .metadata file.

I'm wondering where this information is stored?

.metadata folder could be the "file" the note means. because I dropped this folder from my testing system, then everything goes, I have to add server back manually.
