The only thing I use that will hang RDi Edmund is when I have an auto-update Outline view active and attempt to open any program that uses a horrifically deeply nested /Copy file that includes many prototypes, contestants, templates, etc. That will cause it to go off into never-never-land every time. I have to remember to turn off auto-update before I open one of these programs.

I may be able to send you the source if you want to play with it - just email me off list.

Ken,
I sent this yesterday, and it only decided to synchronize my mail this

I completely share your goals of making RDi work for everyone. I am very
concerned about getting these hangs fixed. I assume it is Mike Hockings
you are working with in sending all these good diagnostics.

Is anyone else that is using TurnOver experiencing these hangs?
Is anyone else that is not using TurnOver AND is not doing a Format with
embedded SQL experiencing these hangs?

Thank you all for being such a passionate set of customers. Appreciate
both the bouquets and brickbats as my goal is get you guys not only
productive but having fun.

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.

Are you running any plug-ins, such as change management interfaces?

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 in
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 a
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.
