Re: justifying RDi when WDSCi 'still works'

The few of us who use WDSCi here are trying to convince management that we
should purchase a few licenses for RDi now that we've gone to V6R1. The
pushback we're getting is that WDSCi still works fine, so we need to justify
spending the money. Has anyone else successfully done this, and if so, what
approach did you use?

From my perspective, the changes between WDSC 7.0 and RDI 7.5 do not justify the cost.

People at IBM might argue that RDI 7.5 is a total rewrite of the product (and I can vouch for that, as I had to do a lot of work to adapt the MKS Implementer plug-in to work with both versions), but the the functionality is largely the same.

Obviously the off-line operations that WDSC can perform does not support the same releases that WDSC 7.0 does, so if you are using the latest & greatest, that might be a consideration.
