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?

First, make sure that you are setting a *CURLIB. This is very important, because that's how the UI finds the EVFEVENT file generated by the compiler. Technote 1231854 from ibm.com describes the official IBM help on the subject. Also, see the tip at WDSC tips
