Re: Running updater from command line

Adam - you say you got the first update to work - well, so did I. Then I heard 
about the mirror site thing, and that never worked nicely. Then I wanted to get 
the latest - 6.0.1.2 - I have 6.0.1.1 - and that has never worked with the 
Updater. I sincerely hope you have better luck than I have. I flatly refuse to 
waste any more time - I have spent way too much of it over the last several 
MONTHS from time trying to do this. And this in spite of the fact that I know 
there are things that would make life a little better with the (insert 
expletive of choice) thing.

Seriously, does anyone else think the product is/will become so complex

all-inclusive that no one will get the whole picture? That it will 

become 

"Windowized" in that we will be thrashing? (Meaning spending more time 
keeping the product current and working than doing actual constructive 

work 

for our business.) 

I think the complexity is frustrating sometimes too. It can be difficult 
just to figure out which version of a particular component you are using. 
I hope this will be ameliorated somewhat by the next release, which is 
supposed to be a 'componentized' install - ie, if all you do is RPG 
development, you only install Eclipse, RSE and forget about the rest. 

As for update troubles, I haven't really had too much trouble with this. 
Rational Product Updater 'just works' as far as I am concerned. We also 
managed to download the first fixpack for version 6 and update all of the 
developers without downloading for hours each time. The only problem I've 
seen is that the 'updating workbench' portion of the RPU process takes 
*forever*. I just do the updates overnight, or during a meeting, and then 
it doesn't waste time.
