Re: RDi and iSphere

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

The latest version (6.0.6.r) of iSphere can be download in ZIP form from 
here:
https://rdi-open-source.github.io/isphere/files/

(I find the "local update" method to be the most flexible and reliable 
way of installing.)

The Help provides excellent guidance on the various install approaches 
for the plug-in:
https://rdi-open-source.github.io/isphere//help/
(expand INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS in the contents list on the left-hand side.)

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but you HAVE installed iSphere 
6.0.6.r both in RDi 9.6 AND RDi 9.8.0.2, (i.e. two  separate installs 
required)?

Once installed, the next step is to upload the *SAVF to the IBM i 
server(s) and restore the ISPHERE library (*LIB) - so both client and 
server are at the same release level.

HTH,
Brian.
