Issue/Introduction

Null-Pointer-Exception-When-Opening-SQL-Scratchpad

Resolution

Solution:
The nullpointer exception happens when CIS Studio’s Scratchpad component tries to locate and open the history SQL files in the user’s home folder.
 
Resolution# 1: 

Please focus on the following check points in the system that hosts the Studio process:

- The user account that starts the Studio’s javaw process, typically via starting the batch script <Studio_INSTALL>/bin/studio.bat

- The user’s home folder in the file system, usually in a regular Windows installation, it is located in the folder <System Drive>/Users/<User_Name>

- The Studio’s history data is stored in the User’s home folder <System Drive>/Users/<User_Name>/.compositesw

- Studio’s Scratchpad history SQL data files are stored in the folder <System Drive>/Users/<User_Name>/.compositesw/adhocsql/history/

- So please check if these folders are really in place in the system and most importantly, whether these folders are REAL folders as those regular Windows paths.

 
Resolution# 2:
Add following option to the COMPOSITE_OPTS variable in studio.bat and restart the studio.
 
-Dstudio.pref.dir="%APPS_INSTALL_DIR%\compositesw"
