Re: WDSC 7.0 on V5R2?

The following is taken from the WDSC V7.0 install guide:

Software requirements
Before you install the product, verify that your system meets the software 
requirements.
System
i5/OS V5R3, or V5R4 
WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries and WebSphere Development 
Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries V7.0 support for the i5/OS 
release will end when that i5/OS release officially ends service, or when 
WebSphere Development Studio Client V7.0 officially end service. 
Some components will need additional program temporary fixes (PTFs). The 
PTF information is available online 
(http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21044473). To find more 
information about any required iSeries server PTFs: 
1.      Open the Remote System Explorer perspective if it is not already 
open. The name of the current perspective is shown in the top left corner 
of the title bar for the Window. To open the Remote System Explorer 
perspective select Window > Open Perspective > Other and select Remote 
System Explorer from the list. 
2.      Create a connection to your iSeries by expanding New Connection > 
iSeries. 
3.      Expand your new connection and right click on iSeries Objects. 
Select Verify Connection from the menu. This displays a dialog that shows 
which required PTFs are already installed on the system and which ones are 
missing.
i5/OS is needed only if the programming objects are located on the System 
i5(TM) or the applications contain backend code on the System i5. 
To compile RPG, COBOL, C, C++, CL, or DDS on the System i5, using the 
Remote System Explorer (RSE) or CODE must be installed on the System i5.
Workstation

Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries

Microsoft Windows(R) 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4 or later

Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 or later 
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

Note:
This version of the IBM WebSphere Development Studio Client was developed 
for use with Eclipse IDE 3.2.1 or later. You can only extend an existing 
Eclipse IDE of version 3.2.1 or later. Choosing to extend an Eclipse IDE 
for installation supports some components of WebSphere Development Studio 
Client for iSeries and WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced 
Edition for iSeries.
Additional software requirements

and the installation guide, and to support the Standard Widget Toolkit 
(SWT) browser widget: 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1. 
Mozilla 1.6 or 1.7. 
Firefox 1.0.x or 1.5.
The launchpad does not support Mozilla 1.6; if your browser is Mozilla, 
you need version 1.7 or later to run the launchpad. 
To properly view multimedia user assistance, such as tours, tutorials, and 
demonstration viewlets, you must install Adobe Flash Player Version 6.0 
release 65 or later. 
For information about supported database servers, Web application servers, 
and other software products, refer to the online help. After installing 
the product, click Help > Help Contents. 
To run applications built with IBM WebFacing Tool, Internet Explorer 6.0 
or later, is required. 
To run applications built with i5/OS Web Tools, Internet Explorer 6.0 or 
later, or Mozilla V1.7 or later, is required. 
TCP/IP must be installed and configured. 
To profile applications, JRE 1.4, or later, should be installed. 
The following runtime environments are supported for IBM WebFacing Tool, 
and i5/OS Web Tools applications: 
WebSphere Application Server Express (Version 5.1, or 6.0) installed 
locally or remotely 
WebSphere Application Server (Version 5.1, 6.0 or 6.1) installed locally 
or remotely
Developing portlets in either the IBM WebFacing Tool or HATS requires 
portal development tools that are available in WebSphere Development 
Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries only.

Thanks.

[WDSCI-L] WDSC 7.0 on V5R2?






We are still at V5R2 - for another few weeks (they are trying to figure 
out what to do with HOD).

Anyway, will 7.0 work with V5R2?

Thanks!
