APAR status

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.5.1
  
  Description :
  On Windows 7 and 8, pin the RDz shortcut to the Windows taskbar
  and launch RDz.
  This creates a second icon on the Windows taskbar, and this one
  cannot be pinned.
  

Local fix

• A manual solution can be implemented to solve this issue :
  1. Make sure RDz is started as one process by specifying the
  -vm argument in the eclipse.ini which points at the jvm.dll file
  from the JRE that is shipped with RDz (i.e replacing java.exe by
  the jvm.dll ).
  
  2. Remove the "appName" parameter from the plugin.xml file which
  defines the product. In case of RDz it is plugin.xml inside the
  com.ibm.rational.developer.systemz.product plugin.
  
  3. Start RDz from command line with the -clean argument (only
  once) to force RDz to reread the modified plugin.xml file.
