Re: 9.6 install

Edmund,

Thanks... mine was actually the other way. My icons were "text". However, as soon as I installed the new Visual Studio, the icons were back the way they were on 9.5.

I have saved the links to the videos and will watch as I get time (rolling my eyes). I already went through Eric's presentation - very helpful.

Sorry for the rant yesterday - I know you guys work very hard on this product.

Greg

Hi Greg,

I am glad you are enjoying the new features, Susan does a great job of
showing more stuff in her videos that Ken referenced and then Charlie
Guarino even covers more goodies in his YouTube list

In answer to your question about the new behaviour of the perspective
tabs. We have moved to Eclipse 4.6 which default perspective tabs to only
the icon. If you right click on any of the tabs and select 'Show Text',
you will get the names back.
A number of these tips are covered in Eric's presentation in his blog
here

Edmund,

I've looked at it a total of 5 minutes and I'm already in love with the
hovers and the notations indicating fields that aren't used.

Are the "icons" for the SQL perspectives supposed to be like below
instead of actual icons?

<IBM SQL and Routine Development> <Run SQL> <Data> <Database
Administration>

Thanks,
Greg

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)

Edmund

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
