The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi Craig,
Have you tried to restart using -clean option? If you drop plugins in, it may be the cache needs to get updated. Starting with -clean will help.
Also, if you create plugins, you may want to be part of the RDi Beta tester team. While we commit to not removing interfaces (only extending them), some of our suppliers come from 3rd party vendors who don't share our commitment to 100% backward compatibility.
If you wish to be part of the Beta community, please let IBM support know so we can get you enrolled.
Thanks!

A good number of years ago I wrote a plugin for the lpex editor, based on an article written by Buck Calabro, here:
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.midrange.com%2Findex.php%2FRDP_ToPrefixArea&data=05%7C01%7Csteve.ferrell%40helpsystems.com%7Ca3b046c6854c47d2acb908da85e32d64%7Cca81e23b350945eea9983e346acf274d%7C0%7C0%7C637969508037219010%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DBCZVyS%2B4QKEfG%2Bl4OfCMxpujjdwU%2Ff8YZS41K%2BBhzI%3D&reserved=0
My plugin (jar file) is in the folder <my_home_folder>\IBM\SDP\plugins
I have occasionally had to copy it back there after upgrades or reinstallation over the years.
I've just installed the latest RDi upgrade (9.6.0.12 20220812_0616) via the main server, not a patch and now I'm getting a Class not found error for my plugin. The jar file is still there in <my_home_folder>\IBM\SDP\plugins
I have also had, for some time, a folder <my_home_folder>\IBM\SDPShared\ whose use I'm unsure of. I've tried putting my jar file in there (in the plugins subfolder) and restarting RDi but that made no difference.
I was wondering:
1. Has anyone else had any plugin issues with the latest update.
2. Does anyone have a more recent link to documentation on writing simple plugins? The above link was very helpful (thanks Buck) but is pretty old now and I suppose could have some out-dated information.
Thanks kindly,
Craig
