Hi Mike,
thank you for your explanations.
Generally speaking, I am happy, that there is a way to make it work but of
course, it would be even better to had a solution without manually changing
the eclipse.ini.
Anyway, I thank you for your help.
@All RDi developers out there
From my point of view all RDi developers who are using iSphere can install
RDi 9.6 Fix Pack 11. If the problem with the PCML exception should occur,
then change the eclipse.ini.
Frank

Hi Frank,
Yes, I figured it out and told Farzi about it so she could let you know. I
thought I should put it in the WDSC-L so that more folks might know and be
able to take corrective action as needed.
My hypothesis was that there was an bad entry in the shared classes cache in
the JVM to changing the setting just turns off using the cache. You can
also tinker at clearing the cache or naming it differently and see if the
issue comes back. Here is a link to the JVM parm
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sdk-java-technology/8?topic=options-xshareclasse
s
The only down-side of the setting is performance but this is unlikely to
affect small-scale interactive usage like RDI but could affect a large WAS
server for example.
I don't think that there is anything that the RDI team can directly do about
it and without a clear test-case to reliably cause the problem it is
unlikely that we could get the Java team to look into it. However
historically I have seen this sort of issue fixed by the next Java update,
when that will be, I don't know, sorry.
Hopefully this helps a bit with understanding the underlying issue.
As the HelpSystem folks may have said, they recommend all plugin developers
to get onboard with the Beta program so you have a preview of what is to
come with each release.
All the best, Mike

Hi Mike,
Farzi from the RDi technical support team already pointed me to this.
On all affected systems we know this worked. In case of iSphere and in case
of CMOne NG too.
One of the users with this problem has a question. He asked "Do you have any
clue what other effect it is going to have, just in case I come across a
"difference" later?"
I have a question too.
When I informed Farzi, that this worked he asked me, if he can close the
ticket. Is this the permanent solution we have to apply on all affected
systems manually in the future or will IBM supply something else?
Frank

Hi Frank,
Edit the eclipse.ini in the RDI install directory and locate the line:
-Xshareclasses:name=IBMSDP_%u
then modify the line to be:
-Xshareclasses:none
and save the eclipse.ini then restart RDI.
Let me know if that fixes the iSphere search issue or not, thanks.

Hi,
if you are using iSphere you shouldn`t update your RDi 9.6 Installation to
fix pack 11. On some boxes with RDi 9.6 Fix Pack 11 we get a PCML exception,
if we use the iSphere source file search. On most of the boxes with RDi 9.6
Fix Pack 11 everything works fine. At the moment the problem is not
reproducable. We have opened a ticket at IBM to find a solution for this
problem
Regards
Frank Hildebrandt
