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: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
