Re: iSphere Journal Explorer Error

AWESOME!!!

The Journal Explorer is definitely one of if not the most valuable iSeries tools I've ever seen. Glad you got it going.

Thanks!!!!!

Hi Kevin,

I am very confident that, I found and fixed the problem. Usually Eclipse plug-ins specify dependencies with a "Require-Bundle" entry in MANIFEST.MF. But for whatever reasons the iSphere Journal Explorer plug-ins used the "Import-Package" key to import the Java "com.ibm.as400.access" package.

The problem with "Import-Package" is that it loads the specified package (com.ibm.as400.access) from whatever plug-in that exports the package. I do not know the real mechanism but I assume that OSGI takes the package from the first plug-in that exports it with no order guaranteed. That could be the reason why it works with my installation of RDi but not with yours. Most likely you use another plug-in that exports "com.ibm.as400.access".

However "Require-Bundle" enables a plug-in to use all exported packages of the specified plug-in (com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox). For simplicity read "plug-in" as "bundle" or vice versa.

I am going to release a new beta version this (late) afternoon. It would be great if you could download and install 3.5.0.b009 once that it is available.

Thomas.

That is exactly what I have. I assume that it is the only entry for "com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox" that you have, right?

Scratching my head.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] iSphere Journal Explorer Error

I am not sure which version is loaded for the iSphere plug-in, because the iSphere plug-in does not specify a version for dependency "com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox" in order to be compatible with RDP 8.0 to RDi 9.6.x.

From what I know I expect RDi to load the latest version for iSphere, which I expect to be the one shipped with RDi.

Can you please:

a) Start RDi.
b) Goto: Help -> About -> Installation Details -> Plug-ins.
c) Sort the plug-ins by id.
d) Search for id "com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox".

How many entries do you find there and what versions do they have?

Sorry, that I cannot guide you through this issue more precisely.
iSphere is available since 2012 and we (Frank and I) never saw that problem before.

@IBM: Is the someone at IBM who wants to help solving the problem?

Thomas.

I do find several versions that come up. Do they load in any particular order or is the order on the screen where I do the Ctrl+Shift+T? Is there a way to see which one is valid?

Kevin,

Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation last week. I assume that this message is closely related to your message "Re: [WDSCI-L] iSphere 3.5.0.b007" from August 31th, 2018, 3:52 p.m.

Sadly I still have no idea, why your RDi (apparently) loads a different version of the IBM Java Toolbox library.

Please let me know, what you get when you try to open the Java type "ProgramParameter" like this:

a) Start RDi and open the "Plug-in Development" perspective (Window -> Perspective -> Open Perspective -> Other... -> "Plug-in Development").
b) Press Ctrl-Shift-T to open the "Open Type" window (or Navigate -> Open Type...).
c) Enter "ProgramParameter".

Now you should see the list of "ProgramParameter" classes that are available in your RDi. There should be the following entries:

ProgramParameter - com.ibm.as400.access - c:/Program
Files/IBM/SDPShared/plugins/com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox_8.5.6002.v
2 0180411_1437/runtime/jt400.jar ProgramParameter -
com.ibm.as400.access
- iSphere 5250 Emulator Base Plugin (RDi)/lib/jt400.jar

Maybe that it helps to export the Eclipse error log. For that you should:

a) Delete all entries from the Eclipse error log.
b) Restart RDi.
c) Recreate the error.
d) Export the log.
e) Send the exported log data to me.

Thomas.
