EGL - Wich product to test EGL?

[JMLourenco]

I want to try EGL and I have installed WDSC 7.0.0 (wich comes with iSeries), but this product hasn't EGL features installed.
Can I add EGL features to this product, and how?
or need I to install a new product with EGL, and wich one?

Thanks.

Happy New Year!

Unfortunately, EGL as only included as an extra add-on to WDSC. The name changed once or twice, and the last was something like RBD-e. The latest version that is "like" WDSC is the RDi-SOA package, which you can download as a trial.

However, perhaps the easiest and least expensive way to get started with EGL is to download EGL Community Edition - it's a complete free package that will allow you to get started with EGL. It is focused on the Rich Client platform, not the thin client stuff, but it's a nice way to get started.

On the other hand, if you really want to stay with thin client (something EGL does very, very well), you should probably get the RDi-SOA trial.
