Re: Could not save my source changes! -- WDSCI-L

Doug,
<vendor>
Re the TURNOVER plugin,
Did you right click and 'run as administrator'?
I also start RDi with 'run as administrator' the first time after install.
The installer would prompt you for which instances of RDi you want the
plugin available in.
Contact SoftLanding technical support if you need further assistance with
the TURNOVER plugin.

Ken,

Just recently started using RDi, however I used to use WDSc and TurnOver a
long time ago. How did you install the plugin? I have the zip file from
TurnOver and I extracted it to a folder and executed T100client.exe,
however I did not get a perspective in RDi but a separate eclipse based
client.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WDSCI-L] Could not save my source changes!

Steve,

Thanks, I need to know the right type of information to grab to open a PMR.

<Sidebar> I have always had my "Show Heap Status" since a TERRIBLE release
of RDI, version 8.5? I think. Which would just randomly close down. No
pop-up and no warning. Just close down! Rightfully I really lost it on that
issue MANY years ago. But, IBM fixed it! That was the worst RDI release
ever! It had a Grand Canyon size Memory Leak. Ancient History! RDi keeps
getting better!

But, I need to CHECK "show Heap Status" more often. My responses time on
RDI 9.6.0.5 was outstanding; lighten FAST, no lock-ups and thoroughly
impress. So I forgot to check the heap status.

I was using the Turnover Plugin, as I always do. I highly doubt that
Turnover-plugin blocked the function of the save-button. But, I was also
using the RPG-UNIT and using the debug perspective also. So possibly all
those together caused a memory-leak. Wow! That could be very difficult to
find the cause. Hindsight is always 20/20.

And I was editing an "RPGLEC" and it gave me false "syntax Error" on this
statement:
"/endif // C001" --> " RNF0275: Field required to be blank is not blank;
defaults to blank." Yet, I had no issues using the copy-book, just saving
my changes.

I am 100% clueless if was relate to this "false" syntax error or not.
Since the day's (1960's) of punch-cards, we are Required to mark
Change/Added code lines. Hold over from punch-cards of the 1960's. Way
before my time.

I only know checking the error log at the time, I saw that " ILE RPG
ParseController: parse failed". And figure that possibly, somehow, it was
related to Save-button not working. Don't know, I am merely guess here. I
am only an RDI user.

So, I cannot just rely on just sending the Error-Log for a PMR. More
information is helpful for debugging rare sporadic RDI issues. This will be
my new steps.

1.) Stop, breath and count to 10. :)

2.) Get a screen capture of the Heap on the status bar:

3.) Screen shot of the "Plug-in Selection spy". Alt+Shift+F1

4.) Screen shot of entire RDI.

5.) Save off my current snap shot of the error-log to submit to PMR.
(Error Log: ".log" file)

6.) Restart RDI to continue with my job work. My primary mission.

Anything else I should capture that might be helpful? Before reporting to
IBM PMR and/or Private email to Armand. Armand has been a tremendous help,
kudos.

PS. I just hoping to squash this rare bug where the save-button does not
work. Caught me at a bad time, with deadline pressures, and being asked "Is
it done yet? You said it would be done"

It has been well over a year, since I have ran into a non-functioning
save-button.

Thanks for your calming words.

I have been thoroughly impress with Help-systems ever since the early
1990's. Your company's products/technological knowledge have never ceases
to amaze me. Love the RPG toolbox Plugin for RDI! Been using it since the
mid 1990's. So glad that Help-System is helping on quality control on RDI!

Hi Ken,

That tells me that something in your debug sessions are causing a heap
memory issue.

We are running memory profilers to see if we can locate a Debug Memory
leak, but we haven't been able to recreate one yet. There must be something
unique to your environment or process(es).

Please help us find this memory leak by turning on your heap memory view
and when you see a spike in memory usage, make a note what actions you
took, or screen shots (ie SEP in a split window/Ran 3rd party junit, etc.).
This type of information on a PMR (or emailed to Armand directly) will help
us locate and eliminate the memory issue.

Also, once the heap is near max, restart BEFORE a memory crash and these
odd behaviors will not happen.

Your past PMRs have helped make RDi better, and for that we thank you!

Steve Ferrell

Surprise, restarting RDI allows the save icon to work again.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Could not save my source changes!

Hi,

Tried to click on my save icon to save my source. And it would not save my
source in RDi 9.5.06.

In the Error Log I notice this:
ILE RPG ParseController: parse failed

Should a "parsing error" ever stop me from saving my source?

Screen shot of plug-in Selection spy, if that happens to be helpful...

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__imgur.com_a_fNXNzVu&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=z9puDHfTgpumfaQwijJbpBjqahUF6MK5pkyWpiq86qo&s=UaNsHv8eBey5ZJlFbsakucbrz8ZvLAyCT495KH7VCdE&e=

Oh well it happens, time to restart RDI again. And retrace my work flow.
This is supposed to increase my productivity?

If it makes a difference, it was on a "copy-book" type: "RPGLEC". The
parser is giving false errors on comment lines?

<break-Time!>
