Tips on troubleshooting WDSCi:
First, search the archives
Contents
How do I clear the cache?
There are two caches to be cleared: Window > Preferences > Remote Systems > File Cache > Clear-"Clear cached files"
Window > Preferences > Remote Systems > iSeries > Cache > Clear-"clear the current cache"
NOTE! You must restart your workspace immediately after clearing the cache!
Where is my workspace stored?
File > Switch workspace
I'm getting a 'Workspace in use' error
- Use Windows Explorer and drill down into your workspace.
- There's a directory called .metadata
- Inside that directory is a file called .lock
- Delete that file and restart WDSC.
- If you can't delete that file, you may have some bits of Eclipse still running.
- Either reboot your PC or use the Windows task manager to kill eclipse.exe
- You may also have to kill the Java Virtual Machine, too. It'll be called javaw.exe. *Unfortunately, you'll probably have more than one. I'd kill the one using the most memory, but that's no guarantee to be the right one, so watch out!
- In this case a reboot is a safer mechanism.
Workspace crashes error
- Try deleting the .registry file
- Shut down WDSCi.
- Delete the .registry file.
- When WDSCi restarts it should rebuild the file.
You should do a back up save of the workspace first.
- If this does not fix the problem you most likely need to do a reinstall.
I have a custom compile command. How do I get the error list back into WDSC?
