Re: Refresh the member lock

The probable issue here is that when the source member is opened the second
time you are actually only opening the one that was stored in your PC's
local cache. Perhaps you are opening it using the recent files list? You
need to open it from the remote systems dialogue. There might also be a
setting that determines the preference of what you open but I'm not sure.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Refresh the member lock

Hi,

When you open a source member in RDP a lock is created on the system i so
that any SEU programmers can not open the source member for editing. This is
all good. If you have a source member open, but close RDP and reopen RDP
later then the lock is not restored and the source member can be edited by
you in RDP but also it can be edited by someone in SEU. Obviously we then
end up with a comical farce where two programmers are racing to get their
changes saved first (or is that just me?)

I know this is an old issue, and I was hoping it would have been fixed since
WDSC versions (I am using v8.0.0.3). Does anyone know of a workaround to
re-establish the lock on the source member before I start editing the source
member after a restart?

The only two workarounds I can think of (as used by me in the early days) is
to make certain all source members are automatically closed when RDP closes
(there is a preference, but I can't find it) or to manually close and
re-open the source members after I restart RDP. Any other suggestions?


Cheers,
Paul.
