Re: WDSc Reinstall Problems

Bruce,

FWIW regarding problem 1: Have you tried deleting the Eclipse 
configuration folder or subfolders?  I've seen this help when things 
appear out of synch.  It's usually related to parsers not working 
correctly, but it might help in your situation also.  The folder to delete 
is:

{drive}\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\eclipse\configuration

Mark Phippard made a post which shows how to store saved passwords, etc. 
His post can be found at:

Regarding problem 2:  If you start RPU (Rational Product Updater), there 
should be an entry 'Interim Fix 6.0.1.2 for Remote Systems Explorer.  If 
not, I would definitely try deleting the configuration folder.  If you 
still can't get the 6.0.1.2 entry, then I would say something went awry in 
the update process and you're not updated.

subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSc Reinstall Problems


I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of WDSc (6.0) to get the EGL 

components

installed (skipped them originally).  I finished installing all of the
updates (don't EVEN ask how long this has taken) and now I'm seeing a 

couple

strange things:

1) I use Arcad Software plugins and the Changer perspective has pretty 

much

disappeared.  I had installed it prior to installing the updates and it 

was

working fine until I installed the WDSc updates.  Now whenever I try to
start the Changer perspective, I get the following popup message:
   Problems opening perspective
   'com.arcadsoftware.skipper.perspective.skipperPerspective'
I sent Arcad Support a message a short while ago to try to get help. 

They

have been very good at responding and working with me, so I'll give them 

a

little more time.  However, if anyone else has seen this behavior, I'd 

love

to hear about any resolution.  Any clues where error messages might be 

found

for something like this?

2) While reviewing information on the problem above, I noticed under 

Help

--> About that I am currently at Version: 6.0.0 Build id: 20041117_2230.
This seems wrong.  I have all updates installed...I think the Version 

and

Build id should be at a higher level.  Can anyone confirm this?

All I can say is...I certainly hope it ends up being worth this much 

trouble

just to look at EGL.  For now I'd just like to be able to use WDSc 

again.

Thanks in advance,
