Unable to start Director
Hi,
I have install datastage and Director doesn't start. In the windows task manager it says "Not Responding" and it use my all CPU (99%). The connection to my server seems to work because i can see all the projects available but as soon as i press "ok". Nothing happens, the Ascential splash screen doesn't dissappear and director never start.
Someone encounter something similar?
thanks.

Since this is Windows, you can use the tried and true method of reboot!
Seriously, did you happen to install the Multi-Client Manager? If so, open that up, select the version that you have installed and change to that version (even if it's already selected). This goes through and registers all your libraries again, so sometimes self-corrects problematic installs. If that doesn't work, you may just have to reinstall.

reboot, re-install... already tried many times. Multi -Client manage... didn't install it. i'll try to install the multi-client manager and do what you suggest...rhys.jones@target.com wrote:Since this is Windows, you can use the tried and true method of reboot!

Is the server side a fresh install?
If the server side is NOT a fresh install, then the problems are either:
1. Your new PC install is bad
2. The project is LARGE and you're not waiting long enough for it to open
3. The project is corrupted
#2 is easy to figure out, can anyone else connect to the project? If they can get in, the problem is #1.
#3 is easy to figure out, can anyone else connect to the project? If they cannot get in, the problem is #3.
If your PC install is bad, you're going to have a fun time figuring out what is the issue.

ok... since my Director is not startable and I don't know long it will take tech support to fix it... i would love to take holidays but i guess my boss wont be very happy about it
anyway, is there any other way that i can access the log? I have a windows client and the server is on Unix.
the show must go on
thx!

Well first to install DataStage Client you need Admin rights so you mus have had it even for Multi-Client Manager....DataStage install quickly tells you you don;t have Admin rights....
But barring that I would say your Windows Registry (regedit at command line) needs to delete Ascential in the Software section....then reinstall.....If this scares you then see your Administrator for help....I bet you have some linguring issues there impacting execution of GUI's
