Re: Rational Developer for iV9.6.0.2fixpackisnowavailable!

Greg,

I had turned off the auto-refresh of the outline, and I still ran into memory leak issues.

So, I suggest, that you have the Old RDI 9.5 and/or 9.6 with no service pack loaded up and use that.

Always good to have a fallback. <Hint Hint> I had to do a manual reload, because I did want to fall back to RDI 9.5

Here is how to turn off the auto-refresh of outline. Hope that helps. It only delayed my memory leak problems.

Window > Preference > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > ILE RPG

"Update the Outline view when text is changed in the editor" --> UNCHECKED

PS. Better safe than sorry. Hard to explain to my Microsoft-Dot-Net Boss that IBM software is locking up my PC. He told me that he thought it would be more stable. Sad!

Then I had to also re-import my setting, and set up my plugins again. 2-steps forward, 5-steps backwards. Sad!

I lost about 2-hours productivity this last Friday, reloading and redoing my RDI 9.6.0.0 with no service pack. That includes grabbing some dumps and sending them to IBM for PMR.

They need to release a "Beta-Fix" for testing FIRST. Before releasing to Production roll-out. Sad!

My test-patch date March 6th, seemed pretty stable. Which is why I jump on this Service-pack-two release. <Dumb Move!>

Be smart, waiting before updating service-pack and/or release. Let someone else lose their productivity!

Edmund,
Thanks for the response... it just seemed like everyone experienced this issue.

I can't find the post... but I'm fairly certain I turned off Update Outline View. Can someone repost where this is turned off? I can't find it in preferences.

This occurred over and over again Friday afternoon. I could watch the mem usage slowly climb. Performance was horrid.

I often open source members and use "Save-As". I was deleting blocks of code (internal procedures) and copy in blocks from similar programs (RPGLE and SQLRPGLE). So I typically have 3-5 pgms open at the same time. I will often search and open/close programs.

Again, I previously observed performance issues in multiple versions... things like "Synchronizing Resources" taking exceptionally long (saving a simple source member) and "Live Parsing" hanging up at 66%, etc.

We are a VERY small shop. Two programmers... but I do 99% of the coding. We have one Power7+ machine that I'm constantly connected to via Ethernet (wired or wireless makes no difference). Running Windows 7 64-bit on a Lenovo Thinkpad, Core i7 2.6 GHz, 8 gb ram and solid state drive.

I will open a PMR to get the fix.

Greg

Hi Greg,
Yes we have had a number of people testing the product for a month now.
Unfortunately many of their tests are making sure individual features work
on source that is specific to enabling that feature. This problem seems
to happen with very large source files that are open closed a number of
times. At least that is how I have been able to observe it.
We are planning to include memory leak testing as an acceptance test from
now on to avoid this embarrassment.

We have already got a fix working locally but we are hit with a site power
down this weekend, so will be next week before we can deliver a test fix.
Again, if you want the test fix, open a PMR.

But before you go, you seem to have a unique angle Greg. So if you have
the 'Update outline view' option unchecked, what were you doing when you
ran out of memory?

Thanks,
Edmund

So I haven't read all these posts... but I have the option Ken mentioned
"unchecked". Just encountered the problem after coding for about 20
minutes.

Without stepping on any toes, I have to ask... Did anyone actually test
this before releasing it?
