Introduction

Rational Developer for i (RDi) is an integrated development environment built on the Eclipse platform. It resides on the developer's desktop, supporting development in both host-connected and disconnected (i.e. offline) modes.

Learn how to navigate the system with Remote Systems Explorer (RSE), edit source code with the LPEX editor and the integrated graphical DDS design tools. These products provide the equivalent functionality of PDM, SEU, SDA, RLU and more.
