Re: IFS file not showing most current data -- WDSCI-L

I think they are referring to the following sequence instead:
1. Open IFS file from RSE, work with it.
2. Use EDTF on iSeries to change, save, close.
3. Save from RSE.

Does the changes in number 2 be overwritten or does RSE say, wait this has 
changed since you opened it...

Re: [WDSCI-L] IFS file not showing most current data






Hi James,

When editing from RSE, if the remote copy (of anything: IFS file, iSeries
member, UNIX file etc), if the remote copy was updated since the last temp
copy was made, then it is supposed to be downloaded again before opening.
In fact, when I tried the scenario below (using 6011 of RSE):
1. Open IFS file from RSE, change, save, close
2. Use EDTF on iSeries to change, save, close
3. Reopen IFS file from RSE
I find all changes that were made in step 2.

If this is not what you are experiencing, then I recommend contacting
official IBM support, as it will not be a straightforward investigation.

thanks,
