Re: WDSCi and RPGLE source on the IFS

Okay, I'll throw in my thoughts as well.

We had concerns raised from an audit perspective.  Being a nonprofit 
organization, we are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, but 
auditors have still expressed concern over these types of things.  If you 
can't guarantee what source from which a program came (including the 
modification date and time of the source), how can you guarantee what it's 
really doing?  We had to document the way OS/400 stamps program, modules, 
etc with the source from which they were generated.

I have to echo Mark's sentiments here.  There have been three times over 

the

last year where near-disaster (at least in terms of time spent tracking 

down

a problem) was averted by being able to see exactly that information on 

a

module.  You might say that proper object management would prevent these
issues, but sometimes things happen (especially during upgrades and 

disaster

recovery) where this information is great to have.

Please note that when you put source code in the IFS, you lose one of
the most important features of OS/400, IMHO, that *PGMs and *MODULEs
carry with them the name of the source file, library and member name 

and

date/time stamp for the primary source member from which they were
created.  That feature has "saved" many companies in identifying the
"correct" source for objects in "production" use. No other platforms
have this feature built-in -- it is unique to i5/OS and OS/400, to my
knowledge.

IBM mainframe customers license expensive ISV products to add this
functionality to the operating system.

I'm curious, is there anyone out there programming in EGL?  I have 
my first EGL project that I want to promote up to our WAS and I'm 
wondering what's the standard as far as user security goes?  Every 
other type of web application I've done using WDSC it has built a 
log on screen for me automatically (Webfacing, and Web tools).  I'd 
like to know what other people think?

Being that I am on a roll for getting cool tips today I am going to 

ask

about one that drives me nuts.  Is there a way to map the tab key so 

it

always goes to the sequence number area similar to SEU?  I have tried
modifying the User Defined tab stops and nothing in there seems to do 

the

trick.

Anybody?

On another note, we should start a repository of shortcut's so these 

are

easily findable by others!

Holy smokes!  Another awesome tip for WDSC! Two in one day!

Now, does anybody know a keyboard short cut to go from the "find" 

section

at
the bottom of the LPEX editor to the code it just found?  Right now I 

have

to go to the mouse to get at the found text.

TIA,

If you're using WAS, two of the more popular forms of security are 
Acegi and built-in J2EE security.  The latter is usually preferred 
because it integrates in a more straightforward way with EIM 
(opening up the possibility of single sign-on via Kerberos).

subject: [WDSCI-L] Building workspace message on startup

When I start Rational in the morning it gives me a "User Operation 
is Waiting" screen that has a "Building workspace" message and then 
a progress bar.  Also in the same window it has a "Remote System 
Explorer - Eclipse Platform" message with a progress bar.  This 
sometimes takes awhile to go away and then the workspace is the way 
I left it when I closed it the last time.  I have also tried closing
everything down before I shut down Rational and it still gives me 
that message when I bring Rational back up.

Most of the time Rational seems to work fine after this, but this 
message and waiting gets annoying. Sometimes, when this message 
takes a long time to go away, I have delete and rebuild the contents
of my configuration folder otherwise I loose my help, and I get 
exception errors in RSE.

The other employees that use Rational in the office do not see this 
and we all have new PC's.

Has anybody else seen this type of behavior?

Thanks in advanced,

Jeff
