Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Hub - new discovery for me
Y'all
I think I found a big deal!
We've had some threads on RFEs for RDi lately. While googling about, I ran
across this link -
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-rational-developer-i-hub
I must admit, I had never seen this. Was I asleep when this was mentioned
somewhere?
It does have a link to submit an RFE, but it is not preloaded for RDi.
There IS a hint, however, to which values to enter when submitting RDi RFEs,
as here -
* Search an RDi RFE
<
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=searchRFEs&SELECTED
_SEARCH_TAB=TAB1&HIDE_DESCRIPTIONS=true&SORT_BY=CREATE_DATE&SORT_ORDER=DESC&
is_javascript_enabled=true&SPECIFY_PRODUCT_TYPE=SPECIFY_PRODUCT_ALL&PROD_ID_
SEARCH=&BRAND_ID_SEARCH=&PROD_FAM_ID_SEARCH=&BRAND_ID=352&PROD_FAM_ID=647&PR
OD_ID=195&COMP_ID=0&RESP_ID=0&REQ_STATE_ID=0&COMPANY=0&KW_TYPE=1&START_DATE=
&START_DATE_submit=&STOP_DATE=&STOP_DATE_submit=&SOURCE_ID=0&INDUSTRY_ID=0&P
RIVATE_CR=0&CREATED_BY=&KEYWORDS=>
o Brand: Servers and Systems Software
o Product family: Programming Languages
o Product: Developer for Power Systems
So if you go to submit an RFE for RDi, you can take the option to specify
only the product, then start typing Developer for Power Systems
- it will make a list to choose from. (I believe IBM has so many products,
they don't try to populate the whole thing as a dropdown at
first.) Then you want the RPG/COBOL Development Tools component. You can
also choose to specify everything and use the above values, plus the
component.
Cheers
