You are NOT the only one...
I went back to RDP 8.5, after I was told to use the latest & greatest...
My RDP 8.5 session just locked up and I lost my changes. I think it locked up on trying to view a spool file. Apparently a RUNSQL Statement on a member just locked up...
It did NOT save my changes, and I have no clue why either...
Originally, I tried RDP 8.5 for 30-days, and this is my second try...
Even though it is a pain to reset my work-space, I think I will do that too. RDP 8.5 does NOT seem worth it...
Sadly, some new developers are using RDP 8.5, and when it does CRASH, they will say, this is why we like SEU... I just got two developers to try it out this week. After pestering them forever...
I am going back to RDP 8.0.3 myself. At least that version was stable...
I will have to tell the two NEWBIES, who finally decided to give it a try... To use Version 8.0.3 instead because of all the errors I have encountered on RDP 8.5. Mostly lockup errors. Where I have to KILL it.
And this is after using a new formatted PC with window-7 and 8-gig of memory...
If it isn't stable, it isn't any good. I have plenty of work to do, and glitches like this leave a sour taste in my mouth.
Back to RDP 8.0.3 until Service-Pack-II for RDP 8.5
Even after the restart, it has locked up again!!!
PS. I am guessing it is leaving background jobs running or something. But I do know, and I have work to accomplish and deadlines to meet...

Subject: [WDSCI-L] 8.5 Broken connection problems
Anyone know a good way to actually regain control of RDP 8.5 when a connection is broken?
I forgot to disconnect my connection when packing up at a conference site the other day and now the dang thing is just looping trying to connect to a (by now) non-existent system. I've tried using the Cancel button on the sign-on request - no joy. I've tried just "X"ing the control. I've tried every response possible to every dialog that appears and no go. I can't get control long enough to say "Work offline"
This was bad enough in 8.0.3 but in 8.5 it is a nightmare.
Dear IBM _please_ test your products by disconnecting from time to time.
So far the only "solution" I can find is to turn off the wireless (the other day I disconnected the ethernet cable) and then the stupid thing does seem to react appropriately.
I have to say I'm very very disappointed in this release. We seem to have gone back to the old unstable days of WDSC 7 - I've had more things break in a week in RDP 8.5 that I had in a year with 8.0.3. Seriously thinking of going back and taking the knock of having to start over with a new workspace.
