Re: [ptp-dev] RDT/PTP needs to include PTP RDT Remote Tools Support feature

I would rather not, as we reship RDT in our IBM products and do not wish to ship the Remote Tools indexing provider with it. We modify the server, so having users try to connect to the one bundled with the Remote Tools provider would make for a very broken experience in our case, as it would be lacking all of our customizations.

I would suggest finding a way of making the PTP RDT Remote Tools Support easier to find, or make it so that it's named in such a way that users are more likely to know they need it. If you were to call it "PTP RDT SSH-based server support" or somesuch, that might help.

When you install PTP end-user runtime, and RDT, why should you have to install another obscure
component in order to get Remote Tools to work?
It's too confusing to users.


But yet if you don't install the PTP RDT Remote Tools Support, the RDT remote indexing
server doesn't get started, and nothing tells you that anything is missing.


I have been testing installs all week getting ready for helios sr1 and for our PTP tutorial at SC10,
and it just doesn't make sense that the user should have to know that.

Product/Component: PTP / RDT


Can we please make it a default inclusion in  RDT?
It doesn't look like it adds any additional dependencies to RDT.
