NDS cannot start up

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When i'm starting my NDS application its getting started but then after all the views and components are refreshed it fails with the error "error during startup . please check the log file in the .metadata directory" . i checked the log files where i could find the errors.

I was able to start up the application by deleting the work space or also by deleting the folder .metadata . But the problem is that i'm working on code checked out from the dtr and the development components checked out resides in the dtc folder in the ' documents and settings' . So when i delete the workspace or the metadata folder i'm loosing this information and i cannot see the development components once they start up.

Is there any other way to restore the same ?

Any sort of help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

Rahul

You might try the "-clean" option.

How do i do that. i've tried adding the variable "-clean" as a target inth e propoerties of the NDS shortcut. but i don't find any difference.

Yes, by adding it to the shortcut. Another thing you can try is to delete the plugin-cache folder inside the .metadata folder.

Edit the shortcut that starts NWDS and add "-clean" as command line parameter.
