Problems with CA Workload Automation

On the off chance it helps someone else, when firing up CA Workload Automation for the first time, it failed to start with the message ‘JVM terminated, error code=-1’.

There was no obvious cause for this, the install was a fresh one on a newly set up machine.   I reinstalled the JDK, and still the same error.  A bit of reading suggested there may be issues with an ini file related to eclipse.  I found the CAWADesktopClient.ini file and had a look.  The file looked a bit messed up, with lines being broken in odd places.

After making it look like this…

…everything is working as it should be.

Hope this helps someone.
