I’m back

October 17, 2008

My blogging sebatical is over (hopefully). At any given time I usually have at least 4 or 5 things I want to write about, so coming up with things wasn’t the issue; it was time and priorities. So I’m going to make blogging a higher priority. And with the RSE book finally out and the next release of Rational Developer for i (RDi 7.5) wrapping up,  I should have some more time. More on RDi 7.5 in another post.

Interesting,  I just went to the MC Press website to lookup the URL for the book and saw an ad for the book saying something about a free chapter download (news to me!) So, if you click on the “Look Inside” link you can download chapter 4 “Workbench Basics”. For those that have been using WDSC or RDi for awhile there might not be a lot new in this chapter for you, but hopefully you pickup a few new tidbits. You can also take a peek at the TOC and index.

If you happen to be at Paul, Skip, Susan, and Jon’s RPG & DB2 Summit next weekthen you can also stop by the MC Press booth and take a look (Merrikay will have some copies there.)

Updated Nov 11th: The link for RDi 7.5 was an internal IBM link that worked fine for me, but likely nobody else :) I’ve changed this to the external announcement letter.

    I am using WDSC and tried the debugging – how do I stop the debugging on a program??? In the class we were told to just ‘Remove the program’ in the programs view tab.

    Help – whenever I run the program is it in the debug mode

    You probably have a Service Entry Point set on the program. Use the Service Entry Points view to remove the SEP.

    You’re probably better to ask these types of questions on the WDSC mailing list – you’ll get a much quicker reply there:

    Don,

    Glad to see you back, it has been a long dry spell since anyone has posted here and I’ve been missing it. I’m hoping that with you back maybe some others will start posting again. I know it’s hard to keep posting with all the work and priorities you have but we (or at least I) appreciate it.

    Douglas,

    Thanks! Knowing that people read the blog makes it easier to write. I’m trying to convince some of the other team members to post more frequently.
