Before you continue, make sure you have the latest stable versions of the tools (i.e. not a Milestone or Beta version). 9: 10: 1.1 It won't start, or it takes a long time to start 11: 12: Several points of failure are to be checked. See the [Starting Pentaho Tools>StartingPentahoTools] section for details and instructions. 13: 14: 1.1 It won't start, it crashes, or it runs slowly 15: 16: Check your version of Java. See the [Performance tuning>Performance tuning#HJava] section for details and instructions. 17: 18: 19: 1.1 It needs network connection 20: 21: Some parts of the suite assume a valid network connection (for data sources, version checking, etc.). The BI Server and Report Designer give you the option to automatically check for updates on start. Report Designer 3.5 automatically tries to connect to all data sources defined in the open report file. 22: 23: If connectivity is not present or is blocked (e.g. by a proxy that requires authentication), the application may take a very long time (up to half an hour) to start or look like it's frozen. In reality, it's waiting for a network response that will never come, and eventually it times out. 24: 25: To permanently disable version checking, you can delete the pentaho-versionchecker.jar file. You can also disable version checking in pentaho.xml (BI Server) or $HOME/.Report/applicationSettings.xml (Report Designer Classic). 26: 27: Report Designer 3.6 introduced an [offline mode>http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PRD-2078?focusedCommentId=57783#action_57783>_blank] to tackle this problem. 28: 29: *Resources* 30: 31: * [1.x version checker>http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/ServerDoc2x/Version+Checker>_blank] 32: * [2.x version checker>http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/ServerDoc1x/BI+Platform+Version+Checker>_blank] 33: 34: 35: 1.1 It can't connect to data source 36: 37: See our guide to [testing database connections>Databases#HTestingdatabaseconnections]. 38: 39: 40: 1.1 "No more handles {pre}[gtk_init_check() failed]{/pre}" 41: 42: This can happen with Design Studio and Data Integration, which are based on Eclipse. To quote from the [Eclipse 4.3.0 Release Notes>http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/releasenotes/releasenotes4_3_0.html#4_CTI_4]: 43: 44: {quote} 45: This SWT error is caused by one of the following reasons: 46: 47: * Connection failure to the X server. 48: * Insufficient memory for the Manual Test View process. 49: 50: To resolve this issue, complete the following steps: 51: 52: * Set the DISPLAY environment variable to the local host name or IP address (for example, export DISPLAY=<local host name or IP address>:0.0). 53: * Correct the host name and port number in /etc/hosts. 54: * Start the X server. 55: * Increase the file descriptor limit. 56: {quote} 57: 58: If you are running over an SSH connection, you'll have to enable X11 forwarding (the -X or -Y flag). 59: 60: 1.1 Troubleshooting Data Integration 61: 62: Troubleshooting issues with Pentaho Data Integration and its components: spoon, pan, kitchen, see here: [Troubleshooting Data Integration>Troubleshooting+Data+Integration] 63:
