Re: 9.6 install

Bad Day, Greg? <grin>

Assuming you have an IBM Id and are registered with PA, ('cos this is how you would download the zips), you sign in here:

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_customer.html

Just follow the trail and it should recommend a 3 x files to download for RDi 9.6 (RPG & COBOL Tools): 2 x zips and the Activation Kit (licence key). You can select which individual files to download, (just the Activation Key) if you wish.

(Just keep telling yourself it's The IBM Way - it'll keep your blood pressure under control.)

Hope this helps.

Brian.

Passport "Advantage" my eye.... what PITA.

Is it somewhere in IBM's mission statement to make things as difficult as possible for their customers?

Is the web install you're referring to what Ken posted earlier?

Greg, I do highly recommend the web install approach. We have optimized
it
to be the fastest and least complicated for an individual to install.
It will only download the Installation Manager which is launched pointing
back to our repository. You pick what features you want and then it only
downloads those and installs them for you. Since I assume you are not
using the Java Modernization Edition, but rather the base RPG & COBOL
tools, this will be a small fraction of the download.

Point the new installed RDi to a copy of your old workspace and you will
be
up and running in a matter of minutes, not hours.
You will love some of the new features. People really like the new
hovers
that give you rich information about where definitions come from. I.e.
which database library/file/record/fields and I Specs and data
structures
etc. all contributed to the definition.
Lot's of other folks on the list can attest to other features that you
will
like (Ken just mentioned Tab/Enter)

Ken,

Thanks... I'll try the web install. I don't have the time nor the
patience
to upgrade using the other route.

IBM can blame "old programmers" for not wanting to move to RDi... but I
guarantee you the millennials will not be patient enough to tolerate the
standard install. It's beyond ridiculous that something takes this long
to
install in 2018.

Sorry if I'm being "harsh" - but who has the time to spend an entire day
just to update a piece of software?

Greg

Greg,

Yes, the extract process takes a while, but it seems to be about
20-minutes
for me...

You could also try the web-install instead.

I apologize ahead of time... I know this has probably been covered. But
is
there a SIMPLE document outlining the install/upgrade process from v9.5
to
v9.6?

I'm not sure what I downloaded, but ONE of the zip files is going to take
an HOUR to extract. Something doesn't seem right. I just need the
RPG/Cobol version.

Thx,
Greg
