Re: RDi 9.0.1 Upgrade issue with plugins

Hi Doug,

I have searched for com.softlanding.rse in the RDi9 install SDP directory and it does not find anything (which I assume is my problem). When I do the same for the RDP8.5 install SDP directory I find it in a directory called links.

In finding this, I thought I'd try to be clever and copy the links directory from RDP8.5 to RDi9 SDP directory but after restarting I still couldn't find the RSE extensions stuff (i.e. messages or spooled files).

RDP8.5 was installed in C:\IBM\SDP where as RDi9 was installed in C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP.

I have already been in touch with softlanding regarding my turnover plugins and they told me to put the link files for their plugin into a directory called dropins, which worked for them. I have just tried doing the same for the RSE extensions link file but again it didn't seem to make any difference.

As for the iSphere plugins, I couldn't check the RDP install I still have because I didn't install iSphere until RDP9.

Ken, I looked for the preferences and found the turnover ones (as I have fixed this plugin) but nothing for the RSE extensions.

So, in summary, I am no further forward but have been informed by my manager that I'm getting a new PC in the new year so all this may become a none issue if I have to install it all on a new PC!!!

Best regards & Merry Xmas to you all,

For the RSE Extensions....
Do a search in the location where your RDi 9.0.1 is installed for:
'com.softlanding.rse'.
Do you find 'com.softlanding.rse.extensions.link'? what folder is it in?
Do you find anything else that begins with 'com.softlanding.rse'?

Examine the contents of the .link file with notepad. You should see one line with the location of the plugins. Verify that the path does indeed exist and is populated with an eclipse folder, and a features and plugins folders within that. What is the full name of the folder within that features folder?

Hi,

Tried the -clean option but it hasn't had any discernable effect.

Can you try a restart with the -clean options?

Hi,

I have just updated my RDi 9 to 9.0.1 but have an issue.

A lot of my plugins seem to have disappeared but on trying to
install them again it says they are already installed.

The plugins I have immediately noticed are missing are iSphere,
TN5250J and the RSE extensions from Turnover.

It looks like the links between the plugins and RDi have disappeared.

Did anyone else have any issues with this? Anyone got any idea how
to get them back?
