Re: WDSc Version

Hi David,

re: your CODE Designer problems - what happens when you try to start it? How
are you trying to start it (e.g., from RSE and Open With CODE Designer or
from Start > Programs or what?).

Some general problems with CODE I've run into relate to the fact that you
must be either an administrator or a power user on the workstation for it to
work and the Hosts file on the workstation cannot be read-only. You may want
to check those 2 things.

I agree with what some others have said, if I were you, I'd upgrade to V7. I
don't think it will do anything for your CODE problems but the RSE is way
better.

I can't speak to any EGL issues, but if you want to keep your V6 install
intact because of EGL, you can install V7 alongside it. You may be better
off installing just the i5/OS RSE, etc. option (e.g., de-select the web
tools, and other stuff) when installing V7 if you're mostly interested in it
as a PDM/SEU replacement. That way it installs significantly faster and
loads a bit faster, requires a bit less memory - at least it seems that way
to me compared to my full install of V6.

Hi,

I have to say I'm a bit confused.

I'm working on WDSc version 6.0.0.1.

We have OS V5R4.

Do I have the version of WDSc that was distributed with V5R4 ?

I understand RDi will replace the version 7. I don't want to download the
trial version, because I don't think my company will pay for it afterwards
(Sadly 99% of our developers have stuck with PDM/SEU).

If I managed to get version 7, I'm wondering for how long it'll work. On my
version 6, I have problems with DDS, code designor doesn't start. Worse
still, I'm trying to get started with EGL and getting a lot of errors when I
start the server. The updates for V6 don't seem to be available anymore.
