Mike,
Could we get some sort of "workspace migration/analysis tool" that could help up identify workspace problems, and to ease export/import of RSE customizations? I hate having to tell the developers to "start a new workspace" when things start acting badly. It would be great to give them "shop approved" customizations (custom compile commands, support for third-party plugins, perspective layouts, etc...).

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.
