Re: RDp intermittently slow to load

Try the -clean option once. Add it to the end of your startup string, let it run (takes an extra minute or so), and see if that clears it up. (Then don't forget to remove it, or leave it in if you don't mind waiting a little longer if it makes a difference after starting up...)

1. RDp is started without -clean

2. No extras and no plug-ins installed.

3. PC is running Windows 7 64 bit with 4.00 gb of memory. I reboot every morning and then open Microsoft Outlook, Client Access sessions (3), and then RDp.

Oh, and one more thing...clean and defragment your system...that will help a little too.

A couple of things you can check...

1. Right-click the icon that launches it (or from the Start menu), and check that -clean is not part of the Target. (For example, the path to launch mine is "C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\eclipse.exe" -product com.ibm.rational.rdpower.product.ide"; make sure -clean isn't at the end of that. But don't forget about -clean down the road if nothing else seems to explain any issues you might be experiencing; sometimes a -clean can be your best friend...)

2. If you installed with things like COBOL or C+ and don't use these, you can go back in and modify your installation to remove some stuff that might be slowing down your startup. Go into the Installation Manager and select Modify, then when you get to the Features to Install page, uncheck those you don't need. (In our shop, we do not use the C and C++ or COBOL tools, so I made sure these were unchecked.)

3. Maybe your PC needs more memory. At least 2GB, but more if possible. Also only run any outside applications as needed (browser windows, e-mail, etc.) to free up some of that memory.

Just a few tips from my experiences...

Before I submit a PMR ..... does anyone else have any issues with RDp loading very slow at times? A couple of times per week the startup process appears to pause on the window with the progress bar. The status line at the bottom of the window says "loading com.ibm.etools.issues.subsystems.qsys". It happened today, I closed the app for another reason, and when I re-opened the app it happened again. I never get any errors and RDp always does open eventually.
