Re: RDi gets stuck when starting up - "Initializing Projects"

See if you have a QZRCSRVS job running in QUSRWRK with your user ID.
Examine the joblog. Maybe there is a message waiting, or at least some
info in the QPJOBLOG that might provide some clues.
Also, examine the joblog of the QZDASOINIT job.

I've been experiencing this problem at times and decided to post a message
about it since it's happening again today.

When I start RDi (V9.1), the workspace opens up with no issue; that is, it
displays correctly with the last chosen perspective and the different tabs
(views). But when I do my first function it just sits there. Not every
time. An example: I request to do an IBM i Search and search for a string
in some source members. That window works, but as soon as I click the
Search button and it goes off to search for the string, it doesn't go any
further. Meanwhile, I note that in the lower right corner of the
workspace, there is an "Initializing Projects" displayed. When I open up
the Progress tab, there is a task labeled "Initializing Projects" which
never seems to go away and is interfering or blocking the search task. If
I click on the red square it then appends "(Cancel Requested)", but again
never goes away. At this point my only recourse is to forcibly end RDi,
after which I get a Java window with a long list of items and a big error
number, usually negative.

I've had this also happen when doing any task (not just search) when
starting up RDi. On some occasions I will see "Initializing Projects" for
a few moments, then it goes away, and RDi works without any problems. But
something is causing this to stick sometimes and makes RDi virtually
useless.

I don't know if there is a configuration issue (Windows, Preference) to
address this given I don't really use the Projects part...??? But I also
note that there might be a System i component which RDi talks to that might
be giving it grief. Something like a QZDASOINIT job in the QUSRWRK
subsystem. I've tried ending that job as well and sometimes that seems to
clear it up. Sometimes not, and my only recourse is to reboot the PC and
then RDi works again.

Anyone have any feedback they can contribute to help me figure out what's
going on?
