RE: Re: VSS plug-in with WDSC for iSeries -- WDSCI-L

1. Created the iSeries project using the wizard.
2. Right mouse click on the project and selected Team, Share project and then 
VSS Configuration Wizard. (Configure the VSS Project)
3. Right mouse click on the project and selected Import remote objects.
4. selected the library and then the source file.
5. Once I had the source file and members within the project navigator view.
a. Right mouse click on the source file (QRPGLESRC), select team
b. Select Add to VSS.
c. This is when I get an error. ( 80020009: Invalid SourceSafe syntax: 
"$AS400dev/QRPGLESRC/.iseries_srcpf_metadata/.NSR060.RPGLE_properties")
6. If I open VSS I am able to view the source files. (So they are within VSS)
7. If I view the properties of the source file within the iSeries Project 
Navigator view, I have the descriptions.

If I analyze the above scenario, I think it is when saving the metadata to VSS 
that the properties of the file is not getting into VSS.

Therefore when I do the following;

1. Create a new iSeries Project
2. Configure the VSS configuration setup as above
3. Create a new iSeries Source Physical File.
4. Then rightclick on the source file, select Team, then refresh or Get latest 
version
5. This will bring the source from VSS into my project.
6. If I now view the properties for the source file I have lost the description!

I have gone to the plugin web site at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/ and have seen that there is a bug 
logged for the saving of  directories starting with period not being 
synchronized properly. Hopefully they solve this soon and I will be able to 
test the above again.

Hope this helps you!

Dennis,
For question one, can you please give me more details on how you populated
the iSeries project and then did your check ins/outs? Im asking because the
Text Description of srcpfs and members is stored as "shared" metadata that
is checked in with your code into a Team Provider repository, and so it
should allways be safe. So I would need some more details on your steps.

For question two, this support is coming down the road (soon). Just to
clarify a bit. There is nothing called "the plugin icon". Each viewer has
its own set of icons, free at will. Now only viewers that support the
Eclipse Decorator Manager framework allow other external plugins. such as
VSS, to decorate there icons. The iSeries Projects navigator is guilty of
not supporting that, but it will be coming down the road.

there a way that I ican have the plugin icon's displayed within the iSeries
Project Navigator view?
