Re: Communications request problems WDSCi 5.1.2 and RDi 7.5.0

These delays will be primarily related to the performance capability of
your host. In this case, it sounds as though you are accessing an older
iSeries (or even an AS400!). In all cases where I have had these
timeout messages, it is because the host cannot produce the outfile
lists quickly enough. Newer servers (Power5 or Power6) have
significantly better response times...

Re: Code/400 and Code Designer, that tooling was included in all WDSC
packages (up to 7.0), and as long as it is on your workstation, the Rdi
products will see it and permit its use as desired. If you have not
applied updates to the Code/400 product, you *might* want to install the
newest version of Code/400 from the WDSC 7.0 installation disks. That
is the newest version of that product that I am aware of...

7.5.0

Hi.



I have been using WebSphere 5.1.2 for awhile now. I stayed with the
older version to keep Code Designer. I have always had delays in
resolving object table lists, opening source members or copybooks, and
retrieving commands for prompts.



The delays in WebSphere 5.1.2 seem to be related to communication
requests with the iSeries. For example, suppose I am trying to open a CL
source member. I see a message in the lower left corner that says it's
resolving the source member (e.g., "Resolving *LIBL/QCLSRC(MYPGM)
MBRTYPE(*))." The activity bar loops and loops. Then a window pops up
that says: "EVFC9143Q The server is not responding, or the current
communications request is taking a long time. Do you wish to cancel the
request?" When I click the Yes button to cancel, the window disappears
and the object opens in LPEX.



I'm now having the same issues with the trial version of RDi 7.5.0. I
continue to get delays with a window that pops up saying: "EVFC9143 The
server is not responding, or the current communications request is
taking a long time. Do you want to cancel the request?"



What do we need to do to eliminate these communication request delays?



Thanks,
