Steve,
Thanks for the thoughts. I did not change any plug-ins since Wednesday. I
did check the .log file and the Hawkeye/Pathfinder is listed as not able to
find its information. Truly, the folder is missing within the plug-ins
folder, but I wouldn't think that would kill all of the "core" RDi Help
options that I am missing, would it? I am going to try the -clean now and
see what happens.
I did release any items I had checked-out, so if the worst case is an
uninstall/full reinstall with a new workspace I wouldn't create any lock
issues.
Thanks,
Steve

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
