1.0 Known problems

1.1 Processes for WebSphere Studio do not terminate properly

In some situations, the processes used to run WebSphere Studio may not terminate properly after you close down the product. After many successive invocations of WebSphere Studio, it is possible these processes may consume enough memory to affect system operation.

If you suspect this to be the case, please perform the following steps:

  1. Exit all instances of WebSphere Studio.
  2. Go to the Processes tab of the Windows Task Manager.
  3. Sort the view by Image Name (process name).
  4. Locate any eclipse.exe processes.
  5. Right-click on each eclipse.exe process and select End Process Tree
  6. (Optional) It may be necessary to restart your system to prevent the problem from recurring after the performing the steps above. These actions should not adversely affect your data or system operation. Should you encounter any further problems, contact IBM Support.

1.2 Install takes up more space than indicated.

The size given for the install is for the actual number of bytes being installed. Most operating system filesystems need to keep bookkeeping about the files in the filesystem. Since there are thousands of files laid down during an install the amount of information the operating system needs to keep about the files can grow quite large. For NTFS a full install may cause 100-200 extra MB of space to show up. So although the install lays down 2GB of data the OS may show 2.2GB or more was installed depending upon the filesystem used.
