Re: You can get your hands on WDSc 7.0 ...

Vern,
I don't think you are beating a dead horse here. It IS confusing. Following your link, I clicked on the "Support Downloads" option, which is logical because I want to download the latest WDSc (right?). Well, interestingly enough, upgrading to V 7.0 can only be done through PPA online. But an "all-inclusive update" to 6.0 is available without going to PPA.
I am guessing that this is an "upgrade" vs "update" issue. Upgrades, I guess, go through PPA online . Updates can be gotten through the updater or thorough a direct download.
In any case, as a business partner with a "Software Access Catalog" account, I can download from there. But what if I didn't have that account? I guess I would have to sign up for PPA (it's free, IIRC) and then get the upgrade there. Things are a little "fuzzy" still.

Either because it's Sunday or I'm getting old, but I'm confused. I've never got an update for WDSC through PPA - I either used the updater in WDSC or downloaded through www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400 (or whatever that gets redirected to). This was true before Rational.
I don't know what is meant by the test environment - except what comes with WDSC - the updater would bring it down if need be. Again, PPA never entered the equation for me.
Also, the announcement to which you referred was for HATS - nothing to do directly with WDSC, except that the latest version installs as a plugin.
So I'm curious - do you have the advanced edition of WDSC? Then it is probably a different kettle of fish. Folks on the iSeries that have the 5722-WDS licensed product do not need PPA to update the standard edition - and probably should not do so. 

This horse is almost dead - sorry to keep riding it.
