Database Studio not starting

[Former Member]

I've installed maxdb_studio_win_64bit_x86_64_7_9_08_18 on windows 8 Pro Version 6.2.9200. The Java runtime is 32bit jre1.8.0_25. Database studion doesn't run - there is no error message. The xServer services are all running. I've verified the installation using the installation manager.

Is there any way to diagnose what's wrong - any log or trace file I could look at?

Hello,

please read the following SAP note regarding supported Java version:

1097311 - SAP MaxDB Database Studio Installation

This requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with Version 5.
Ensure that you have installed the Java runtime environment (32-bit/64-bit) that is suitable for your Database Studio. Use the 32-bit Java runtime environment only if you use Database Studio in the 32-bit variant.

Best Regards,

Valerio

Thank you - I also needed to run DBSTUDIO with the option

-vm java.exe path

You can use Java JRE 1.6 too.

1.7 and 1.8 are problematic.

Hello,

Could you try to start the Database Studio from the command line as administrator -

<dbstudio.exe path> -vm <javaw.exe path>
