Corrupt Workspace

[Anonymous]

Morning All,
My colleague and I use TOS 5.0.0, build r72978-20111123-0231.
We have a central workspace on a network drive with strict rules regulating the use of the workspace. I.E. only one at a time.
We usually access the workspace from our office PC's but occasionally do so via RDP from home.
About once a month we find the workspace becomes corrupted.
We are not sure what the cause is. Is it to do with RDP, networking or Eclipse.
This problem is proving to be a stressful waste of time. Can anyone help identify the root cause?.
Regards.

What's the error you get when opening talend studio with this workspace? Note that, a workspace can only be access by one instance of Talend Studio at same time.

Morning Shong,
The error was, from memory as we've rebuilt the workspace, "error loading workspace, see logs".
The logs show a problem saving the workspace however this was several hours before the last save.
Only one person is ever logged into the workspace at any one time. We carefully control this!.
Regards.

I strongly suggest avoiding that shared usage. I would recommend using the Team edition or what you can also do is to use SVN with an external tool and commit changes into this repository. But please avoid merging and use instead the lock feature of SVN.

Hi
Yes, as jlolling said, sharing workspace and used by many users is not recommended and verified by Talend. The workspace have been destroyed, try to use another workspace, and then import projects from the old workspace.

Jlolling, Shong,
Thanks for the answers.
We are going to do exactly as you suggest and import into the main project area from local development areas.
Regards.
Nobby.

My issue is with the application folder.:
E:\Talend5.4 - Dev03
When I double-click Talend it says - "workspace has been changed please re-start". At first I jsut re-named the workspace, re-creating a new one. That didn't work, but what did is creating a different connection with my details. Same email, jsut re-naming.
It then creates new instances of the application folder:
E:\Talend5.4%20-%20Dev03
E:\Talend5.4%2520-%2520Dev03
E:\Talend5.4%252520-%252520Dev03
Can anyone help? Workspace is still corrupted, I need to re-create a new connection just to log on..it doesn't solve the issue.

It also says, just before "workspace has been changed please re-start", that "Connection Incomplete"
