Re: RDi Missing Plug-Ins, Help-Install, Marketplace - all gone

Hi Steve,

Did you by chance update or install a new plugin since the last time it worked?

Can you check the .log file for the workspace. See if there are any plug-in exceptions causing the menu to crash. (IE a new plugin that places a menu on the help menu could cause the rest of the menu to stop displaying.)

Have you tried a -clean? You do a -clean by adding the " -clean" without the quotes to the launch install target. This will clean up any cached plugins that may be causing issues.

If none of those suggestions help, please contact IBM support so we can help get you back up and running with your plugins.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Missing Plug-Ins, Help-Install, Marketplace - all gone

All the time I've run the software never seen this happen. Started up RDi (currently 9.6.0.5 that has been running on the same Windows 10 laptop for a year and a half and worked fine on Wednesday) and none of my plug-ins appeared (iSphere, iRPGUnit, DBeaver, Pathfinder, etc..). Nothing.

I did a shut-down and cold start of my laptop and tried again - same result.

When I select Help, I do not see the many of the options, either. That's the strange part, those are core (I thought) to RDi and should always appear. To be precise, I am missing Task Launcher, Check for Updates, Install New Software, Installation Details, and Eclipse Marketplace.

Needless to see this is going to create a problem to my day without all of my plug-ins loading.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve Meisinger
