Hi
I have a flow, with quite a big number of nodes.
Suddenly, in the toolkit, the Message Flow editor refuses to display the flow. I click on the ".msgflow" file. The "busy" icon is displayed for a second and is then released again, but the flow is not displayed.
If I do "Open with", using Notepad or the text editor, the xml is displayed properly, but the graphical editor refuses to start.
It works with other flows.
I have tried to export the msgflow project and import into other toolkit on other machine. Still, the editor refuses to display the flow.
Anyone?
I'm running WBIMB 5.0, CSDE 2 on one machine, CSDE 4 on other.
Win XP. |

Try increasing the jvm heap size of your toolkit.
Do a search on this forum for "-Xms".

Hi!
Did you use any copy/paste operations before the flow was "ruined"? I had probelms like yours caused by using copy/paste with sub-flows, it is not consistent, but sometimes it happenes  .
Anyway, open your file in text editor - if you see all of your nodes described in 3 line code, like
<nodes ...>
<translation .../>
</nodes>
and some nodes in one line code, like
<nodes .../>
you have the same problem as I, and you'll have to correct those "one line" descriptions manually to make them 3 lines, like all others - it will come back working. If you have this problem, but you won't know how to correct the file - send me a PM.
Alexey. |

Yes we merged two flows i nto one, by copying the nodes and the ESQL code from one project to another.
The funny thing is that after the merge we hade it work for a while, but then suddenly it stopped.

There are only five or six hits returned when I do this search - selecting the WMQI(MQSI) Suport forum to limit my search, and entering Xms. All the threads returned by the search discuss using the java ms and mx vm arguments to adjust the heap size of the eclipse tooling.

I have now extended the heap size to both 512 and 1024.
It did not help. I think there's a bug in the toolkit, having to to with copying of nodes between projects. |

Something that's worked for me when I have had a similar problem:
In the development perspective, right click on the .msgflow file & select open with -> text editor. Within each <nodes ...> tag, edit each 'location' property to indicate some arbitrary coordinates (if there is no location property, put one in as below) :
location="100,100"
Save the message flow file, then try to open it in the MessageFlow editor. Everything will appear in one big pile. Right click in the background, select Layout->left to right. |

Yes, it works now.
I manually updated the underlying XML, so that all <nodes> have a position. I then closed and opened the project again, and le voila..
This is a fantastic bug, hope IBM have it fixed soon...
Thanks for all your help

Kjell,
To my knowledge this one is fixed in CSD04 and the update can be made by using "Software updates". Be aware though that if the ftp update fails your whole environment may be damaged. My Toolkit crashed and I had to reinstall everything. Apparently there is no easy way to back to previous versions of the Toolkit when in "bad sync".
According to IBM (they confirm this "copy bug" in the Broker App Persp), copying works fine in eg the Resource Perspective.

YES!
I had the same problem (I´ve had i a couple of times before not knowing what the reason is). But entering the positions in the xml-file solved it!
