Problem Starting Teradata Studio

Problem:

Just downloaded the Teradata Express 14.10 for VMware Player, I opened the Teradata Studio version 14.10 in the virtual machine.  Before I configured a connection profile, I closed the program.  Next time I opened Teradata Studio, the splash screen displayed for a minute, then the studio opened for about three seconds then disappeared with out any kind of error.

Issue:

From what I was able to determine from the Teradata user boards, because I did not configure a connection profile, the program errors & closes.

 

Resolution:

Warning:  What is being proposed may cause a loss in saved settings or configuration.

On the workstation running Teradata Studio, find the directory “.metadata”.  In my case, it was located in the workspace-studio directory.  I deleted the directory at the commandline using “rm -R .metadata“.

 

Remove the .metadata directory

Remove the .metadata directory

 

The next time Teradata Studio is started, the .metadata directory is recreated.  In my case, I had to go though the tutorial again.
