Re: Migrating from WSDc 7 to Rational Developer 8

The way this stuff is stored is different in RDp than it was in WDSC so
you can't just copy directories from one version to another and expect
excellent results. What I would do is to backup my workspace (because I
am always paranoid) then just open the WDSC 7 workspace with RDp 8 and it
should migrate all the settings and stuff. One thing that I would watch
for is to not nest the workspaces too deeply in the file system as
problems can occur in Windows with excessive path lengths. In Windows
"excessive" means something like > 256 chars, this problem does not exist
in Linux.

Previously there was a
workspace\RemoteSystemsConnections\user\UserActions\ibm.files400\uda.xml,
I
don't see that in the new version. How do I copy my Custom User Actions to
another developer?

Is this it?
workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.rse.core\profiles\PRF.user_0\PS.useractoins.ibmi-qsys.actions_285331264\node.properties

Can I just copy that file to the other developers workstation in the same
location?

RDP 8 should convert the workspace without any problems.
