Tips on troubleshooting WDSCi:

First, search the archives

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?
