Re: RDI 9.6.0.4 LOCK-UP. Java Death-Thread!

Darren,

Thanks that sheds new light to me on errors, that could possibly be caused by plugins in RDI.

Too bad, there isn't someway to have workspace with Plugin, and one without plugin. I guess I would have to have two separate installations to test with and without plugs. Oh well, that might be necessary.

Plugin interference is not unimaginable. For example, the parser doesn't just look at your source code. It pulls in external definitions. Lets say some plugin overrides your connection's library list somehow outside of RDi knowledge. It is conceivable that this would interfere, even indirectly, with parser functions. I'm not saying this is the cause, or that this is even happening. I'm giving an example of why you shouldn't discount plugin interaction in the parser issues you're seeing. The parser is also capable of annotating issues in your source. A number of plugins also do annotations. Here is another source of possible conflict.

Darren,

Wow, I would not expect any plug-in to affect the parser.

I only know I turned off live parsing, and my errors go away.

Same thing in previous releases, turn off the parser, and lockup go away.

I actual really hate SEU with a passion! But it reliable. I have been actively using RDI full time for over 12-years in my 28-year rpg career.

I am Big fan of using an professional IDE / RDI. But, it should not lock up when typing in code. Not even ONCE!

My source code is defined with a length of 262, instead of the typical 112 length. I have to use RDI to edit my code. <Big Proud Smile>

It cracks me up, RDI is a plugin to eclipse.

I will miss outline view & code assist greatly. But, it is better than lockups! So, for now, I will keep live parsing turned off.

PS. I really need to find a way to duplicate these problem scenarios. Just like I fix my programs with "repeatable scenarios". We need the same thing to fix minor RDI bugs. I still need a "Monitor Camera", not sure if that would be allowed at work. <LOL>

I've been seeing an issue with a couple plug-ins, and the parser. I'd opened a PMR and a support ticket with one of the plug-in vendors, but neither team could conceive of the issue being on their end. Reinstalling seemed to help for awhile, but the issue has returned. My point is, watch your plugins. If you're considering SEU, then at least run RDi for awhile without any plugins, and see how it performs that way as a test.

Hi,


Using Junk-ware called RDI 9.6.0.4 with blasted parsers errors and LOCKING up! <Sad>

CANNOT CLOSE member, nor resize members? <Sad>

Luckily, SEU does NOT LOCK UP! EVER! That is ENTERPRISE Stable Software!<Joy Joy>


How in the world do I show that I cannot close "views" or "resize"? This
on my Desktop with 8-cores 3.7 GHZ. So it is not a lack of HORSE-POWER.
nor lack of memory, no hard-disk speed. SSD 500Gig!

What in the heck is a Java Death Thread?

If IBM cannot fix the parser, they NEED TO REMOVE IT! yet, I was told it
was okay to turn it back on. Off it goes. I much rather have an editor
that does NOT LOCK, than have fancy "Code-Assist". That is WORTHLESS if it

locks up the editor! Junk ware!

When does the next "so called" fix-pack come out?

PS. I need a WHOLE bag of SNICKERS! <Sad>
I was forced to kill RDI-Junkware TWICE. <Sad> Fell-back to RELIABLE SEU.
That NEVER FAILS! <sad>
