Re: Show stopping editor error opening source member: Specified working directory not found.

Alan,

I had problem with Java-9 with IBM ACS, so I downgraded from Java-9 back down to Java-8. But, somehow I doubt that is your problem...

By the way, RDI uses it OWN Java usually install in this windows folder:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP_96\jdk

Note: I rename my "SDP" to "SDP_96"... SDP = Software Development Platform. Just a naming convention...

But, I recommend checking your error-Log to check for possible errors:

Normal path might be something like this on a windows box.

C:\Users\USER-NAME\IBM\rationalsdp\workspace\.metadata

Check for a file called ".log", hopefully, that might give you an indication...

I have had many issues with RDI, but nothing like what you mention ever...

I am ****assuming*** that you were able to connect to your IBM i Power system. And I am also ****assuming**** you have complete authority to your windows box. Often with Windows, I have to the do the "Run as Administrator..." especially on a re-install...

Best of luck to you!

After the fact, it will probably be something simple like an authority issue. My assumption... <grin>

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Show stopping editor error opening source member: Specified working directory not found.

First, I have RDi 9.6, my Java is very up to date...

I have an editor issue, trying to open a member for edit (or browse) in RDI, I get an error message instead, "Specified working directory not found." For several different source members.

Tried quitting RDi then re-launching, nope.

Tried uninstalling RDi and reinstalling, Nope.

Tried creating a new workspace to work in. Nope.

Then tried deleting the old workspace directory to see if the new one would now work. Nope

Then I tried deleting the new (and now only) workspace directory and re-launch. (The welcome page was funny but) Nope.

Then I tried posting a message to the IBM RDi forum, and here we are, seeing if anybody has a solution to this. (Licensing is not an issue)

And now, I am cross posting the above list of "I already did this" to this midrange list.


Thanks
