RE: WSDCi "run Java on i" - where is it now?

Have you looked at the Eclipse Test and Profiling Tool? You can start a java application on the i from Eclipse on your desktop and monitor it with the test tool. I haven't used it, but it SHOULD be available in most all the RDx distributions. I have it in the old copy of WDSC I use. If it isn't, you should be able to download it and install it in your environment as a plugin. You download it from eclipse.org. I can right click on a java source in WDSC and see the Profile submenu which takes me to a wizard to set it up.

Thanks for the responses.

To be exact, the sole functionality I appear to be currently looking for, is an IDE on my PC providing

"profile Java application running on the i"

on a detail level roughly like what I can see with jvisualvm on the Sun JVM (which is "Good Enough"),

Or is this completely delegated to iDoctor?

I don't have the final skinny on this, but any Rational product that supports SOA construction should supply all the Java functionality you might want.

Alternately, you can get EGL CE which provides rich-client EGL and services development for free.

Post WDSCi, my understanding is that you have to purchase RAD to get
Rational Java development tooling since those features are no longer
available in RDi or RDP. In other words, to get comparable/updated
functionality, it appears that you have to purcahse RDP for $860 USD
and then RAD for another $2150 USD to replace WDSCi. Further, if you
want to try out EGL, you have to fork out additional $$$ for the
RDi/RDP for SOA construction.

Based on a recent experience with inadequate information about the
actual runtime performance statistics for a Java program on the i,
I?ve decided to have a look at what IBM offers these days.

In WSDCi 7.0 you can ?run? and ?debug? Java programs on the I (which
we haven?t used much as it did not provide a
deploy-from-eclipse-then-run use).
Unfortunately there was no ?profile? which is what I am looking for.

Hence I just downloaded RDP 7.6 with the i-tooling, but it appears
that only RPG and Cobol toolings are present and the Java ? if any ?
requires downloading and installing yet another RDfoo package first.

So, where did that functionality go? Is it better than it was in
WSDCi 7.0?

What would be the cheapest route to get there?

Thanks

/Thorbj?rn
