EGL

EGL is IBM Rational's Enterprise Generation Language. This is a web application code generation environment.

EGL is currently an extension to either Rational Application Developer, or WDSC. You'd use RAD if you were a web developer not wanting a System i - oriented IDE like WDSC. WDSC contains some of the elements of RAD. The packaging for EGL is reported (Jan 2008) to be about to change.

Installation notes

The following midrange archive link provides information to watch out for if you are installing RBDe on RAD7 when WDSC7 also exists on the same machine: [1]

WDSC/iSeries is NOT compatible with RBDe

The following steps lead to the error:

1. You started with WDSC (Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries)
2. You then installed RAD 7.0
3. Lastly, you then attempted to install RBDe 7.x

The relevant error is:

152  ERROR  00:28.21 Error expanding installation packages in installation context "com.ibm.sdp.eclipse.ide": 
No included version of component "com.ibm.xtools.rmp" meets all tolerances 
Version 7.1.120.v200709171543 does not satisfy require tolerance [7.0.0,7.1.0) in component "com.ibm.xtools.transform.ui" 
Version 7.0.0.v200611151730 does not satisfy require tolerance [7.1.0,8.0.0) in component "com.ibm.xtools.comparemerge.team" 

153 ERROR 00:28.21 Installing IBM® Rational® Business Developer Extension 7.0.0 is not allowed; it is not compatible with IBM® WebSphere® Development Studio Client for iSeries® 7.0.0.4. 
       

A possible solution is to install RAD 7 into another (totally different) "package group" via your IM, then install the RBDe into that "package group"; it is strongly suggest that the "shared" directory NOT be the same one used for the "package group" used for the the WDSC installation.
