DBVisualizer Cannot Start after Specifying Wrong Overridden Java VM Properties

Hi Community,


I have DBVisualizer on my MAC.


I was trying to config DBVisualizer by specifying overridden Java VM properties in the TOOL PROPERTIES option.


However, I mistakenly entered wrong thing and applied the change. After that, I was not able to start my DBVisualizer.


I tried to uninstall and reinstall it. I still cannot start it.


Please advice.


Thanks in advance!


Hi,


Please check the following:

https://support.dbvis.com/a/solutions/articles/1000231939


More specifically this section:


"Don't set the -Xmx property too large as it may result in Java not being able to launch DbVisualizer properly. If you experience problems starting DbVisualizer open a file explorer tool on your system and remove this file depending on operating system:

 

Windows: C:\Users\<user>\.dbvis\user.vmoptions

Linux/Unix: /home/<user>/.dbvis/user.vmoptions

Mac OS X: /Users/<user>/.dbvis/user.vmoptions"

Hi Roger,


Thanks a lot for your reply!


I was unable to find the user.vmoptions file and .dbvis folder on my Mac. The only dbvis folder I have is the folder of DBVisualizer installer that I downloaded earlier.


For the initial cause of this problem, I was trying to input:

 -Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false in specifying overridden Java VM properties, but i entered wrong text.


Could you please further advice?


Thanks!


Thanks!


Hi,


There must be a .dbvis folder in your home folder. That is the place all your settings are kept. Unless you start DbVisualizer using the -prefsdir argument o point to another .dbvis folder.


If you open a terminal window and run these as separate commands:


cd ~

cd .dbvis

ls


What is the result?


Regards


Roger

Hi Roger,


I was able to find the file and removed it. Now I can start DBVisualizer!


Thanks for your clarification and help!
