Re: RDi 9.5 "not responding"

I have the latest PTFs for 7.1, latest Java update, etc.

My point is really that it will be widely accepted by pinheads (like us)... but (again this is my opinion) the everyday user will have a hard time accepting it. My problem is that I have zero patience when it comes to [waiting on] software. Navigator on the browser looks like it was written 15 years ago.

Sorry we hijacked the thread...

Greg

I have to say to be sure you are on the latest group PTF for HTTP - the
web Navigator is better and better as we go along.

As for ACS, as Ken says, this is IBM's direction for the client - and
they are working on getting the functionality in place - ACS will soon
have the SQL statement processor.

For Ken and the keyboard map - you can still map your keyboard the way
you want - the maintenance is not in the same place, though, and it
doesn't have the pretty graphical maintainer that iSeries Access has.

As to startup of ACS, there might be command line options that can help
- just as there are with RDi. I've not tried those, yet.

I do get some odd behavior from time to time in ACS - I'm using the
multiple session style and generally like it - Ctrl-wheel moves me
between sessions. Sometimes it sticks, like nothing responds to
anything. I can't get a macro to run, then I'll click somewhere and it
may or may not release.

The kind of thing I will report and know that everyone will benefit. I
don't remember if IBM take requests for ACS changes through the RFE
process that is used for RDi, it certainly would get to them through
COMMON requirements (http://requirements.common.org) - bugs, of course,
should go through support channels you have.

This IS the direction IBM is going - they are working continually to
improve things, and I think they ARE better all the time.

You're right about Windows 10. But ACS does not have navigator... you have to use the browser interface, which is terrible.
It's incredibly slow on startup.
It has no install (or remove).

And please forgive me, but I can't stand most java applications - they are so finicky.

It is different, and the new navigation takes a while to learn. Change is hard...

My only real complaint is it does not start up as fast as the old client Access...

But, we will be going to windows 10, eventually. And from what I understand, client access won't run on Windows 10, but ACS will!

I initially hated it too. Only because I missed the keyboard map. But, once I got use to the new navigation, I like it. Still have more to learn.

ACS is a real piece of junk (IMHO)

Yes!

A.C.S. Access Client Solutions, an 100% Java Solution!
<Big Smile>

And SquirrelSQL.org, which also uses Java.

Do NOT know if they are "Big Java Applications" or not... <puzzled-look>

RDI seems to use its Own "IBM" Java... <LOL> C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP_1\jdk\jre\bin\javaw.exe

My folder "SDP" contains RDI 9.1.1.1

My folder "SDP_1" contains the RDI 9.5

Thinking out loud here... are you running anything else that's a big Java application?
