Hi Kevin!

I did a complete article on the subject that I think you can access over at MC Press, but the short version is this: with V6R1, you have to pay for things separately. In V5R4, 5722WDS included all the compilers and all the development tools (PDM, SEU, WDSC) in one single package.

The new package, 5761WDS, separates all the pieces. There are two compiler features, one for ILE and one for older compilers, and three development tools options: ADTS, RDi and RDi-SOA. ADTS is PDM and SEU, RDi is the green screen tools from WDSC, and RDi-SOA is RDi plus IBM's EGL language.

Each of these is priced separately and by user. None of them are equivalent to the old WDSC, because it included a lot of web development tools that aren't in RDi. RDi is just the Remote Systems Explorer and the LPEX editors for the System i languages. It also has a new Application Diagrammer tool and a technology preview (a beta version) of a new Screen Designer, which will replace SDA.

Pricing is complicated, as is entitlement (how many license you get when you upgrade to V6R1 from a previous release). Here is the URL:
