Re: WDSC 7.0 Dead End

The last version was downloadable as part of v5r4 from the Entitled Software 
Support website.

Anybody know if the new version will replace the old on that web site?

It hasn't yet.

Since I am the System i hardware person, and wear many other hats as well, I 
don't have a problem
getting the disks from me!  I have already asked my BP to order on the 16th.  I 
agree that there
should be a downloadable image for us to get to.  What a Pain!!!

This has been an ongoing issue since the product line was introduced.
IBM ask us to use the product and then makes it nearly impossible to get.

Let me ask a rhetorical question:  Which is more difficult?  Getting 
the product from IBM or getting it from the System i hardware people 
in your own firm?

Well, have pretty much given up on WDSC 7.0 until I can order on media.

1. Cannot use Passport Advantage because requires an account.
2. Created a Passport Advantage Account but cannot download from 
account because I am not authorized.
3. Cannot get authorized with my ISV.
4. Asked my ISV to download and he cannot download it because you 
cannot be part of Passport Advantage unless you pay $1,500!

I don't know who designed this whole system but I know they have a 
side job at "Joe's House of Pain"!

Why can't we just go to an FTP site and download?

It is based on Eclipse and the product is perfectly useless unless 
you have an AS/400 with development tools in which case it is free.

Does this make sense to anyone else?
