Re: Exporting Filters

Despite the horrible experience of discovering old source being moved to the iSeries from an old workspace's cache...

I started having the verify/outline-refresh issue on the migrated workspace as well. Back to the drawing board. Well - of all things, I believe the issue was that I had to clear the cache. I cleared it on the new workspace and suddenly the verify & outline-refresh starts working again. I go back to the original workspace, clear the cache, and it works ok there as well. Hopefully that was the issue. I honestly should have thought of clearing the cache before starting a new workspace.

Ok, come on...

So I migrated a workspace. I have my filters again. Great. Now I can get back to work. So I'm opening up source, modifying it, saving it, closing it. Then I get to a source member, and after multiple changes and saves, I realize that it's missing a lot of code. And I'm thinking, "Ok, I swear I worked on that already." So I decide to go back to my old workspace folder to find the cached version of the source. Look at that, there it is, up to date with all the changes I expected (these are not changes I made today). So what I'm guessing happened is the workspace I just copied and migrated actually took the cached version of the source and shoved it onto the iSeries when it should have been opening it from the iSeries. (When I opened the workspace, no members opened up on their own as if they weren't closed previously.)

Why in the world would RDp prefer source in my cache than on the iSeries? I'm not set up to work offline. This kind of thing could have been devastating - especially if I didn't catch it (and I'll be on vacation soon).

As much as I find huge productivity gains in using RDp, I think it also helps to elevate my blood pressure.

I have 14 filter pools each with about 20 filters in them. I feel like I'm butting my head up against a wall trying to get them.

Thing is, my old workspace will not verify or refresh outlines. I found that a new workspace worked. So I'm going from RDp 8.0 to RDp 8.0. Not migrating a workspace b/c I need a new one (unfortunately).

So what I did was copied the RDi 7.6 trial workspace I had and then migrated the copy into RDp 8.0. Good thing I keep those old workspaces around.

Many of our developers get this when using filters in the base setting.
They have to use filters in filter pools to get around. I have tried many things to prevent that error, even new workspaces. It keeps creeping in.

If you are a simple filter user then pools seem like a waste and extra work but I think they are under used.

I just wish IBM would take the search results and let me create a filter from that.

Thanks, Matt

I spoke too soon. I can see the filter pools, but now I get a java.lang.NullPointException error when I select the filter pool.

There is an import/export on the file menu and the right-click menu of the connection icon.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Exporting Filters

I feel like I've gone over this a hundred times, but once again cannot figure it out.

How do I export filters from an RDp 8.0 workspace? I'm having issues with my current workspace and am creating a new one where I don't seem to have refresh outline issues. I'd like to not have to create the large number of filters I use.

I thought under Export that it was under General, but under General I only see Ant Buildfiles, Archive File, File System, and Preferences.
Under preferences I see Installed JREs, Java Code Style Prefernces, Java Compiler Preferences, and Keys Preferences. I've exported Keys Preferences and that was nice, but I'm not seeing filters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kurt Anderson
