Re: RDi 9.5.0.3 fixpack is now available! (ACS integration explained)

I have iACS installed and running separate from RDi. iACS shows I have Java 1.8.0_91 installed.

If you run one of the new options which invokes ACS and nothing appears, the first thing to check is that you have Java installed on the system.
ACS runs Java and does not use the Java installed by RDi. So, you need to have Java 6 or higher on the system. This is a base ACS system requirement.

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks for the explanation Edmund - but I won’t be taking advantage of these features.

I’m already forced to use Windows just to run RDi - I’m darned if I’m going to install ACS there too when it runs beautifully in native Mac mode.

Jon,
RUN SQL is completely independent of Data Studio. You don't even have
to have Data Studio installed. Instead it is using the Access Client
Solutions support which has recently been added and is IBM i specific.
If
you already have ACS installed we will use the existing install,
otherwise
we will launch from the copy shipped with RDi. But you can always
start ACS yourself and run the function from there.
The savings with ILE RPG is that we will take your selection in the
editor
and prepopulate the Run SQL Statement page in ACS with that. So if
you select you SELECT statement in RDi, and select "Launch Run SQL Scripts"
from the Source menu, we will bring up ACS, connect to the same IBM i
your
source if from, and populate the page in ACS. All you have to do is
hit the Run button.
So this is a much tighter integration story then we have ever had before.

We also integrated with ACS for spooled file support. If you right
click on the 'Spooled Files' subsystem and select 'Launch Printer
Output', we again bring up ACS showing the output queue on the current
system. You
can
filter which queues and users you want to show on the Edit->Filter
dialog,
you can click on any column to sort, you have lots of download options.

Go ahead and play.

I’m glad that Kurt is excited … but I have two problems with this.

1) The option only appears for RPG SQL sources - not COBOL. Haven’t
checked
for C or CL but I’m guessing it will also be missing there. Wouldn’t
have noticed this but I’m teaching an Intro to IBM i for mainframe
COBOL folks this week.

2) The option appears but nothing happens. I’m guessing that is
because I have not plugged Studio into RDi - I run it free-standing.
Can the IBMers here please confirm this? I would have expected the
option to only
appear
if the feature was enabled in the product but ...

Excellent news. Very pumped about this fix pack.

Surprised to see Run SQL Scripts available from within RDi. That's
excellent! Except I don't understand why this option is only available
when you have a SQLRPGLE source selected. I understand wanting access
to it when working in SQL RPG, but I find I want access to SQL all the
time, even if I'm working on native I/O RPG (or even CL - honestly
anytime I
want
to look at data, which is any point during the day).

With that said, I think access to Run SQL Scripts via RDi is
absolutely
amazing. Previously I only ever used it very rarely (pretty much only
if
I
was testing a stored procedure) because getting to it via Navigator
was horribly annoying. I'm confident that I'll be using it quite a bit now.
Maybe I'll finally stop using STRSQL?
