Re: F1 on opcodes in ILE RPG editor not bringing up help in 9.0.1

Mike

I think I'm most concerned that settings would change when making a new workspace. I think Turnover gets some help in there - when I show help contents, there are 2 entries on the left that refer to TURNOVER.

I don't see anything added in the Help->Contents section of Preferences.

Hi Vernon,

Does Turnover add an infocenter to the help? If it does they you can
just re-add it after applying the work-around. Should the work-around
not improve things for you it can be reversed by simply deleting any new
settings that are created and renaming the original ones back.

I'm concerned about my Turnover installation (SoftLanding's SCM) - I
don't want to spend a lot of time adjusting stuff if I can get along
without it.

I've got used to NOT having the true context-sensitivity, but I will
really want it back. :)

For anyone still concerned ...

I have a work-around for this issue.

Warning: If you have added infocenters to your help preferences other
than the ones that are automatically added then you will have to add

them

again after following this work-around for this issue in RDI 9.0.1.

Prep: close any running instances of RDI 9

First Step: Rename the directory

C:\Users\<your-userid>\.eclipse\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0_2139427097\configuration\com.ibm.ut.help.common\

to

C:\Users\<your-userid>\.eclipse\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0_2139427097\configuration\com.ibm.ut.help.common-original

Second Step: Rename the directory

<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.help.base.prefs

to

<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.help.base.prefs-original

(or just create a new workspace)

Complete: restart RDI 9.0.1 and again enjoy your F1 help goodness!

If any of the above is unclear or if it does not resolve the RDI 9.0.1

F1

help issue for you please let us know.

All the best, Mike

We are trying to fix this problem that was recently reported by 2 people
so
far on this list.
We are wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Has anyone
experienced this on previous releases?

BTW, a cool thing in 9.0.1 is that F1 on opcodes in free form, now gives
you specific help for that op code.
Yes Jon, I was thinking of you when we fixed that. :-) Merry Christmas

to

you.
More goodness to come in that area.
