Re: Spooled File Viewing in RDP 8.0

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That folder and file do exist for 8.0.  For 8.0, it is under C:\Program
Files (x86)\IBM\SDP_1, and for 7.5, it's under C:\Program Files
(x86)\IBM\SDP.



From: Doug Davie

It sounds like it might not have been installed into the 8.0 instance.

Try this:
Right click the icon you use to launch RDP 8.0 and select properties.
Get the value for "Start In".
Now explore to that locations.
Do you find a folder called 'links', and within it a file called
'com.softlanding.rse.extensions.link'?

if not, create the folder 'links'.
Then, copy the com.softlanding.rse.extensions.link file from the RSE
extensions folder.
(Mine is found in C:\Program Files\SoftLanding\RSE Extensions)
