APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Rational Developer for System z - RDz / IDz
  
  Attempts to use Push to client to install a client update
  may cause the client to hang.
  

Local fix

• Check the <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\
  com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos.folder to see what has been
  downloaded from the host for installation.
  
  The client may already have the necessary files downloaded.
  The following files will be in com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos :
  runinstallation.bat
  runrestart.bat
  
  If so, you can manually shutdown the RDz/IDz client.
  Then, start the installation by executing the
  runinstallation.bat file.
  

Problem summary

• The workbench may hang when push-to-client is attempting to
  update a product version because the update needs to disconnect
  from the host before shutting down the workbench at the same
  time that the initial connect which triggered the update is
  trying to complete.
  

Problem conclusion

• The solution is to move the disconnect and shutdown off the main
   thread.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.6 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
