Oracle Analytics Desktop not loading

Hello,

I'm having trouble opening oracle analytics desktop. Until a couple of hours ago I was creating workbooks, but now I can't open the program. Load up to half the bar and it doesn't open. I tried restarting/shutdown the PC but to no avail. Can anyone help me? also to recover the workbooks created inside?

Thanks

Assuming Windows PC, try right-click and start as Administrator.
Check Windows logs
For OAD, you can collect a diagnostic bundle with logs and check through them.

For production use, you should use OAC, or OAS.

thanks for your reply. The procedures indicated by the guide are not very clear to me. Since the program was working this morning, what could have happened? I imagine that installing/reinstalling the tool makes me lose the folders inside it. I thank you in advance

The guide has steps to generate diagnostic dump. You could repro the issue and try to get the diag dump to review logs:

Open the command prompt and change the directory to the Oracle Analytics Desktop installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Oracle Analytics Desktop).
Type diagnostic_dump.cmd and then provide a name for the .zip output file (for example, output.zip).
You can find the diagnostic output .zip file in your installation directory.

I followed the steps in the provided link and this is the output:

C:\Program Files\Oracle Analytics Desktop>diagnostic_dump.cmd
BI DV Desktop Diagnostic Dump 1.0
Got 0 arguments. Expecting 1.
Usage: diagnostic_dump outputfile.zip
Dump log and configuration files to a diagnostic zip file for use by Oracle support.

C:\Program Files\Oracle Analytics Desktop>

You need to provide a path and file name for the output.
example:

diagnostic_dump.cmd C:\Users\<your username>\Downloads\oad_diagnostic.zip

Thanks for the replies. I followed your instructions, the zip file containing the logs folder with the txt file dvdesktop.log is empty.

I appreciate your patience.
