FWIW, you can limit the number of server jobs to check by doing:

WRKOBJLCK your-user-profile-name *USRPRF

Promted form: WRKOBJLCK OBJ(your-user-profile-name) OBJTYPE(*USRPRF)

Don't forget to also check the jobs in the QUSRWRK subsystem QZDASOINIT

and

QZRCSRVS to see if they are waiting on a message, or object lock, or some
other long running process.

Hi Edmund,

I am not using the format of SQLRPGLE option at the moment (I was having
issues with it behaving differently depending on what I selected, if you
remember). In answer to your other post I am not using Turnover or
formatting SQL with the new option.

I haven't opened a PMR yet because I wanted to get a bit more detail

about

what is actually going on. My post that started this thread was intended

just find out if I can tell what actually is unresponsive when RDi says

is... On advice of Buck, and with some tips from Darren and Kenneth, I

waiting for the next unresponsive state while having Task Manager and

the

Processes view running all the time. So far I have not had the problem,

but

I've not used RDi much since I created a new workspace yesterday, so I

not sure whether the problem has gone or it is just waiting and hiding

the long grass.

If we get more information we'll get a PMR to you.

Paul,
There is one known issue which causes that symptom and it happens when
doing a Source->Format of SQLRPGLE. Is it possible that you saw this

hang

when click on any menu item after doing format of RPGLE with embedded

SQL?

If so there is a test fix that will address this if you open a PMR.

Ken,
I believe you already have the test fix. Have you see your "Not
Responding" symptom since applying that test fix?

Thanks
Edmund

The only plugin I have is iSphere (latest release). I just had the issue
again while trying to create a new workspace through the File>Switch
Workspace option.

I've created a new empty workspace now, but haven't used RDi enough

since

to see if the problem is gone yet.

I got approximately EIGHT "Not Responding" yesterday, and opened a PMR#

54653,442,000 - RDI 9.5 has continual Milky-White-Screen-of-Death (Not
Responding)

And while I was talking to IBM support last night. Our other developer

who

works remotely, approx. 5-hour drive sent me this plea:

************** SNIPPET ****************
Are you having any issues with RDI when debugging?

Since last Thursday, I keep getting (Not Responding) when I try to
debug....

I have to end it thru task manager.... Then reload... then debug

again...

Sniff sniff......
************** SNIPPET ****************

IBM Support *suggested* that I create a new workspace, and to turn off
Update outline view...

PS. Sadly, there is NO WAY to DUPLICATE this. So I have to manually kill
RDI and JAVAW.EXE in task manager, before restarting...

I was able to duplicate the Error 3-times on my PC, but the IBM Tech did
not get the "Not Responding"...

And of course, I also lose my code changes.

Oh well, new workspace is working for now. This is the 3rd workspace I
have created, since installing RDI 9.5 <sigh>

I guess the policy should be to create a new workspace, when you get the
"Not Responding"... <frown>

Check the Progress view to see if there is something running that

prevents

you from using RDi at a given moment. I have had numerous occasions

where

things stop working because it is running "Initializing Projects",
sometimes for several minutes (and other times it only takes several
seconds). If you don't see anything, try this: In the drop down on the
Progress view, select Preferences, and check the "Show sleeping and

system

operations". This might give you some more insight into what is causing
RDi to be non-responsive, for example, a process is running that is
preventing other processes from running. Not a guarantee it will help

your situation, but as everyone's install of RDi will be different, it
might be the key to understanding what is happening.

Hi,

My colleague and I are getting an unresponsive RDi (9.5) at least twice

day, and we need to kill it to start again. I've looked in the workspace
.log file, but there are no error messages showing.

It usually happens after selecting an item in a menu, but it doesn't
matter which menu or which item. My most recent event was caused by
right-clicking my connection and clicking the export option, and my
colleagues most recent event happened after clicking the compile menu

and

selecting one of the compile options.

I'm guessing it is more an eclipse problem than RDi because the menus

are

not always related to RDi functionality. How can I find out what was
causing the unresponsive behaviour? (The error can not be reproduced at
will.)

-Paul.
