Re: RDi update

[Daniel Gross <daniel@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

I wrote a bunch of blog posts - including one on RDi 9.9 today:

- https://blog.qpgmr.de/2026/05/06/rdi-99-tips.html

Maybe those tips will help you a bit.

You won't need most of the RDi 9.8 tips - as 9.9 has fixes for most of the problems.

HTH
Daniel

> If you use the check for updates, it will take you to the last version of 98.
>
> If you pay for maintenance, you can upgrade to 99. I'd still update 98 so you have the latest Java Update.
>
> In 99, we no longer ship ACS. So, users need to install it first, and launch it, then the saved ACS configurations will launch with the buttons in RDi.

> The iSeries Navigator was not shipped in 9900, but the latest update does add it back with some limited function. We will be expanding the actions back in future releases.
