Re: RDi will not prompt to load workspace

Hi Matt,

I can appreciate that you would not want to do the -clean thing all the
time ;-)

My suggestion then would be to look in the .log file and find out what is
causing a problem at start-up time. In my case it was a WebFacing project
starting up and trying to get communications started before some other
dependencies were ready - with a NPE as a result. I believe that there
may be a fix in the works for that problem but I don't know of a delivery
release offhand.

Mike, well your suggestion workes but only if the shortcut always uses
-clean.

Once I remove the option RDi goes back to its own methods.

Got anything else I can try? It takes a looonnnggg time for RDi to load
up with the -clean option.

Thanks, Matt

I cannot believe I did not try that option yet. Using -clean solved
the
startup problem.

RDi now prompts for the workspace at startup.

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

Were you able to find a solution to your problem?

I seem to recall a similar problem where an exception at start-up was
causing the workspace picker not to start (there would be an error in
the
.log file). To get around it you might try restarting the workspace
with
-clean. At least that solved the problem in the case where I saw it
where
another plugin was trying to start RSE too early.

Nope, not the case. One of the first things I looked for when I
noticed
the problem. Below is my current short cut target string...
"C:\IBM\SDP7.5\eclipse.exe -product
com.ibm.etools.iseries.rdi.welcome.ide"

Thanks, Matt

Is it possible that your launch shortcut has specified the workspace
to
launch? Looks like the command line switch for this is -data.

Rdi will no longer prompt for the workspace I want to load. I loads
a
default workspace in C:\Documents and Settings\pgmt\IBM.



I set the preference "Prompt for workspace on startup" but that is
ignored.



If I delete the entire IBM folder reference the product creates a
new
one for me.



The only way to use the workspace I want it to do a File | Switch
Workspace.



Anyone seen this issue or have a suggestion to make RDi open the
workspace I want?



Thanks, Matt
