Re: RDi gets stuck when starting up - "Initializing Projects"

I had -clean in my startup path, but when I reinstalled RDi I forgot to add that back in. It was happening even with that, but given it was missing I'll add that back in. Who knows, that might fix it since I just recently reinstalled it.

For the issue that it might be a hung job or one in MSGW (QZDASOINIT or QZRCSRVS), I'll check that out next time I suddenly experience this hang up.

Thanks for your tips/advice.

I would try starting RDi with the "-clean" option. It might clean up something internal that's got your workspace hung up. See the instructions in the wiki at:

http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSCi_troubleshooting

The information on starting with -clean is a little less than half-way down the web page (scrolled less than half-way that is).

[WDSCI-L] RDi gets stuck when starting up - "Initializing Projects"

I've been experiencing this problem at times and decided to post a
message about it since it's happening again today.

When I start RDi (V9.1), the workspace opens up with no issue; that
is, it displays correctly with the last chosen perspective and the
different tabs (views). But when I do my first function it just sits
there. Not every time. An example: I request to do an IBM i Search
and search for a string in some source members. That window works,
but as soon as I click the Search button and it goes off to search for
the string, it doesn't go any further. Meanwhile, I note that in the
lower right corner of the workspace, there is an "Initializing
Projects" displayed. When I open up the Progress tab, there is a task
labeled "Initializing Projects" which never seems to go away and is
interfering or blocking the search task. If I click on the red square
it then appends "(Cancel Requested)", but again never goes away. At
this point my only recourse is to forcibly end RDi, after which I get
a Java window with a long list of items and a big error number,
usually negative.

I've had this also happen when doing any task (not just search) when
starting up RDi. On some occasions I will see "Initializing Projects"
for a few moments, then it goes away, and RDi works without any
problems. But something is causing this to stick sometimes and makes
RDi virtually useless.

I don't know if there is a configuration issue (Windows, Preference)
to address this given I don't really use the Projects part...???
But I also note that there might be a System i component which RDi
talks to that might be giving it grief. Something like a QZDASOINIT
job in the QUSRWRK subsystem. I've tried ending that job as well and
sometimes that seems to clear it up. Sometimes not, and my only
recourse is to reboot the PC and then RDi works again.

Anyone have any feedback they can contribute to help me figure out
what's going on?
