Re: New PC, migrating workspace

Hi Ewout,

Yes, coping the contents of that directory to the same location on the new 
PC should work fine.  You can also safely delete the 
RemoteSystemsTempFiles project, but do this from inside of WDSc (open the 
Preference dialog and on the Remote Systems > File Cache page click the 
Clear button.)  You could also clear the cache from the Remote Systems > 
iSeries > cache page.

You could also clear

[WDSCI-L] New PC, migrating workspace






This weekend, all developers in our shop will get a new PC (with 1 GB of 
memory instead of 256 MB!). WDSCi will already be installed on the PC's. 
Now I want to know what I have to do to save all my current settings. I 
think I should just copy the directory Workspace (full path name 
C:\Documents and Settings\boteren\My Documents\IBM\wdsc\workspace), and 
restore it on the new PC. Is this correct?

The current size of the directory Workspace is about 88 MB. Are there any 
subdirectories that might safely be skipped when making the copy? For 
example, some directories that just hold temporary files? The directory 
RemoteSystemsTempFiles looks as a good candidate for it. Does this 
directory really just hold a lot of temporary files? The directory 
.metadata\.plugins is very large (63 MB), but I assume that this directory 

can not be deleted. Or will the directory automatically be created and 
filled when WDSCi detects that the directory is not present? (How has this 

directory been created in the first place, I wonder.)

(If this question has been asked before, I apologize for posting it...)
