This type of problem is extremely sensitive to timing, so maybe you want to
just keep that old laptop around for a week, so we can make sure this
problem is fixed. Since we can't reproduce it in house.

Edmund,
Good to hear! I have also gotten a Brand new windows-10 Laptop (Intel
i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz) power house! <Joy Joy>
I am going to apply the Test fix pack to my new laptop. So, going forward,
there should be no way can blame it on a slow PC. <LOL>
Should only take me 10-minutes. Just did a brand new install of RDi 9.5.0.1
last night.
I also need to change my eclipse.ini to use "java.exe" instead of
"javaw.exe" for debug purposes.
I appreciate Mike pointing to me about "locks"... I had a lock editing a
display-file, and I had the screen up on the 5250 session. Back out on
that, and RDI starting responding again immediately!
That was understandable. But, when I only have a brand new code in library
and RDI 9.5 locks up, that is strange to me...
I want to go forward with my brand new install, after I re-apply the test
patch from 2015-10-27, if I remember correctly.

Edmund/Alex,
I got the "Not Responding" again...
I was duplicating code using ALT+C (Copy-Paste) and changing the statement.
When it locked up. I think I used Code-Assist to look up a variable name. I
think It locked up on the paste operation with the "Alt+C". <frown>
So, this time I did the Ctrl+Break to create a dump, and attached to my
open PMR# 54653,442,200.
Now restarting RDi 9.5, since I got a "dump" this time!
<Big Smile>
Hope that helps! If not, let me know what else I can do to help track this
down...

Hi Ken,
Mike is on vacation for a couple of days.
Ctrl-Break should force a dump and the console window should tell you where
it wrote the dump. You can then send this to IBM and we can see what the
program was doing when it hung.
For example when I just tried it, I got:

Send us the .txt file and we can finally see what is going on.

Mike,
Shucks! I forgot to do the Ctrl+Break thing, when RDI 9.5 locked up
again... <frown>
I used RDi 9.5 at home this weekend, no problems, and no Lock-ups....
Now using RDI 9.5 at work, it locks up. I did turn the "Live outline view"
back on this weekend. Which seems to be the one thing in common, that
"seems" to cause the lock up. <My guess>
I guess this means that I should work from home more. <LOL>
I was debugging this time, and it locked up.
So, when it locks up AGAIN, what should I do to get more information?
Ctrl+Break and then what?

I would say that if you are seeing hangs with debug then I suspect you may
need to stop and restart the debug server on the IBM i. Also, as mentioned
earlier make sure that the jobs that RDI is communicating with on the i are
not waiting on some lock which in turn will make RDI wait.
If your Windows is an "enterprise" config where your user profile directory
(or part of it) is kept on a central server that can lead to performance
issues with Eclipse as some events cause writes to the profile and if that
operation hangs or fails it will hang Eclipse.
Working over a flaky wireless network can lead to issues too I suspect.
Keep in mind too that not ending RDI (or any current Eclipse-based
application) can lead to the workspace being corrupted.
In general I don't find that RDI 9.5 on Windows 7 is any more or less prone
to issues than any other Windows program. Windows 7 seems to go away at
times and leave an app with that white-screen but mostly I think it is just
paging as for whatever reason Windows likes to keep active processes on
disk rather than memory. Now, this could be just in my case as I have an
old laptop with a very slow and encrypted disk.

Edmund,
I make the mistake of turning on the "Update outline view". With that OFF,
it seems to work okay...
:)I created a new workspace, and the new count down begins...
The code I was working on, had NO SQL. <smirk>
And yes, I am using the test patch 2015-10-27.
And my co-worker, whom is using RDI 9.0.1, has been forced to go back to
green screen Debug. She doesn't have the time to load a new version of
RDI... <Sad Face> I told her to create new workspace, and see if that
works. But, she is swamped. So she is using Green Screen Debug. She said
she would try to load RDI 9.5 this weekend...
PS. I have requested a new laptop, hope I get it... <smirk> They still want
to load Windows 7 on it, and not Windows 10. <grin>

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

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

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 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.
