I downloaded RTC 3.0, to give it a whirl with WDSC and my beloved IBM i.
Tried to install it on my Windows 7 PC. Went well until it was time to
run the setup wizard. It insists that my PC be known to the network at
mypc.someorg.tld It isn't. ipconfig shown my name as mypc without a
domain name and what's more, I'm apparently unreachable from the network
by that name. So now I can uninstall it from my PC.
But! There's an IBM i RTC server as well. Which requires Websphere App
Server; even though Apache and Tomcat are supported under Windows, they
are not supported for the i. Assuming I could convince the right people
to allow me to run WAS, I'd probably be blamed for every performance
problem from now until the end of time. Maybe I'll go that route, but
my margin of success looks thin, given we're using Apache/Tomcat already.
This might seem like whining; if so, I apologise. I'd love to run an
IBM product to help me convince my team to at least start tinkering with
collaborative source code management. It seems overly complex to me,
and I'm not afraid to run Cygwin binaries (grep, sed, tr) in a DOS .bat
file to automate importing data from external sources. I can't imagine
trying to turn this loose on someone who's hesitant about /looking/ at
RD Power.
My RTC experience meter remains at zero.
