Note

You will have to repeat step 4 for every project in your workspace as the connections settings are stored within a projects settings.

If after using Windows 10 SAIL and you have moved your Workspace between Windows 7 and Windows 10, you may need to reset your pr_sail connection.

If your workspace is not called 'workspace' as set by default but is 'Win10_Workspace' for example, you may need to update the drivers.xml file. Navigate to R:\Templates\Eclipse\db2-driver and copy the drivers.xml file, to replace the one found in your workspace at: P:/USERNAME/workspacename\.metadata\.plugins\org.jkiss.dbeaver.core\

Delete all Eclipse shortcuts on your desktop, run DEM User Environment Refresh to replace this. If when you run Eclipse you are using 2020-09, please restart your desktop and log back in. You will then be using 2020-03 as is with Windows 7 SAIL. If the pr_sail does not connect, follow the steps above ensuring 4.b/c settings are correct.
