The following corrections have been included in this fix pack.

SE36594: EVFF6009E when using CRTSQLRPGI command in RDi 7.1 and 7.5 and i5OS 610
SE36981: Incorrect outline view in RDi 7.5 when performing a verify
SE37116: Running a compare and then changing the source in RSE does not correctly update the file on the i server.
SE37302: The i Project push changes action pushes all members to the remote host even though there were no changes made to the members.
SE37332: CTRL-C and CTRL-V keystrokes in the i Project navigator do not perform copy and paste of i Project resources.
SE37440: In the Application Diagram View, for RPG modules, some procedure call reference links were not shown when they involved field or parameter definitions which depended on external descriptions.
SE37488: Copy of source member between different connections to same system loses text descripton in RDi v7.5
SE37606: Compile option UPDPGM doesn't function correctly
SE37658: Problem with set save.textlimit 92 with a continuation character
SE37688: The IBM-supplied iSeries Java DFU ListManager bean does not always function properly. A selected cell within a JTable or JFormattedTable will not always correctly update the database file or the table cell itself with the data that was typed into the cell.
SE37689: The i Project import remote objects dialog does not resize properly.
SE37750: Creating custom compile command in iProjects (WDSC 7.0.0.8 and RDI 7.5.0.2) and getting CPD1013
Loading an i Project from RTCi can intermittently cause Null Pointer exceptions.
Renaming a large i Project can sometimes take a long time.
Pushing a large i Project to the host can cause the workbench to freeze.
The properties of members that are newly downloaded to an i Project are pushed un-necessarily on a push change operation.
After compiling source members with embedded SQL, there may be an exception thrown during parsing of the events file, preventing the Error List view from being populated. In some other cases, double clicking on errors in the Error List view does not always embed the errors in the correct lines.
SE37803: Rational Team Concert for i assigned Client Access licenses do not display
SE38015: Rational Team Concert licenses lost every few days

The following enhancements have been included in this fix pack.

The Rational Team Concert for i - Client has been updated to version 1.0.1.1 which includes enhancements from Rational Team Concert Version 1.0.1 and 1.0.1.1. For details see:
- https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/1.0.1?p=news
- https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/1.0.1.1?p=news
Note: It is highly recommended that you access Rational Team Concert for i Server using the same version level as Rational Team Concert for i client. For example, if you are updating Rational Team Concert for i client to version 1.0.1.1, update Rational Team Concert for i server to version 1.0.1.1 as well. Using mismatched versions may lead to undesirable results. For detailed installation instructions see: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27014187

The joy of package groups

eric.simpson — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:48:04 GMT

The RDi install is fairly straight-forward. But one question that users have wondered about is the one on using an existing package group or creating a new one.

The notion of a package group is of a group of products that are integrated together. If you only have one product, then you create a package group just for the one product. If you have multiple products, you can choose to install them all into the same package group so that they are integrated (all their functionality being available in one IDE).

There are additional uses of package groups even if you only have one product. You can install the same product multiple times and choose different package groups. With the same product in multiple package groups, you have some possiblities:

when a fixpack for the product is released, you can update one of your package groups to the new fixpack and give it a try. This would not affect the other package group so there is no risk.

you can choose to install different options in the package groups. In one, you could just have the minimum features (RSE and iProjects). This would simplify the UI (since the other features would not be available) and might have some performance gains (since the other components are not being loaded). In another, you could have RSE, iProjects, Application Diagram, Screen Designer, and RTCi client.

Note: if you install RDi into package group A and then install RDi again into package group B, your disk space usage only increases slightly (it does not put another complete copy of RDi on your machine).
