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

• 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]

• Here is the email response I received from IBM as it relates to the above issue that links to the archives. There was another thread started that had a similar problem which is why I am posting IBM's exact response. If somebody could clean this up in wiki style that would be great.

Aaron:

Here's the situation: (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 actual 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. >>>>>>>

And that tells the story : WDSC/iSeries is NOT compatible ith RBDe. Just found this out today:

Now, what you can do is install RAD 7 into another (totally different) "package group" via your IM, then install the RBDe into that "package group" ; I would strongly suggest that the "shared" directory NOT be the same one used for the "package group" used for the the WDSC installation.
