Me

I'm a WDSC power user, and first-line support for the WDSC developers in my company. I've learnt a lot in a small amount of time, including writing small WDSC plug-ins, and I'm willing to share that knowledge if I can.

What I do

We use WDSC v7 to create a Sun Java-based GUI using iSeries DB/RPGLE objects, and use Softlanding's Turnover and RSE Extensions, IBM Rational's ClearQuest, QuantumDB and a couple of my own plug-ins to help. I built a "silent install" using the IBM Package Utility and this is how the developers here install WDSCv7 when (if) they need it.

The best part of WDSC is Service Entry Points for debugging, but I'm also very happy with the Outline view as an amazing help when it comes to investigating "old" iSeries ILE source.

Help with WDSC Plug-ins

These links gave me the basic knowledge I needed to start with building "User Profiles" and other plug-ins for WDSC. (Note that WDz is very similar to WDSCi, so the info is still relevant):
