Ken,
I have see this behaviour, if there is an exception and the DDS Designer
gets disconnected from the Properties view.
To work around this, simple close the editor and reopen it. Not source
will be lost or affected.
If you look in the .log and see an exception please send it to me, along
with a description of what you were doing and the DDS source and we should
be able to catch the problem.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Windows XP RDP 8.5 problems with Designer. Seems
resolved on Windows-7 64-bit installation. trying RDP 8.5
AGAIN! :)
Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi,
Recap of one problem with the DDS Designer on RDP 8.5 with Windows XP.
When clicking on a field in the designer screen, the field properties will
refresh in the "properties View". With RDP 8.0.3, but NOT on RDP 8.5. The
auto refresh of the properties window would NOT happen. I had to click on
another View, to force a "REFRESH" of the properties View. <frown>
Note: Did a "FRESH" clean install on the windows XP box.
I am trying RDP 8.5 again. I have reinstalling it on my new PC with Windows
7 in 64-bit mode. And I do NOT have an issue with the Properties view
refreshing. It seems to work great on Windows-7 64-bit mode, no refresh
issue on the properties window in the Designer. <Joy Joy>
I will try RDP 8.5 again!
Normally, I usually do NOT design screens too much, since I normally deal
with Business Logic Rules versus Screens.
But, if I happen to run into any NEW problems with the screen designer or
RDP 8.5, I will recap any re-creatable problems on this forum.
Since my company did NOT purchase an extended support agreement on RDP, I
cannot open a PMR for bugs. Obviously, we have license, we just didn't
purchase extended support for RDP.
Unfortunately, most of my co-workers still prefer old reliable SEU.
Approximately 70% of the developers still use SEU. Because RDP learning
curve is "Too Big". <Big Frown>
Oh well, you can lead a horse to water, but cannot make them drink. I have
been on the IBM i platform since 1990, and have been using WDSC/RDi/RDP
since about late 2005. I LOVE IT. This old dog can learn new tricks!
PS. I have Uncheck the "Use Cached information to restore the Remote
Systems View" in Windows>Preferences>Remote systems to get "FRESH Source",
which should resolve the "STALE Source" issue that forced me to downgrade
to RDP 8.0.3.
Only need to figure out how to turnoff Live Outline view, as everyone has
recommended. Is that located at Windows>Preferences>Remote Systems>IBM
i>Program Verifiers. I don't know how to turn that off. If that is
recommend.
Thanks!

FYI, the "stale cache" issue was not introduced in RDp 8.5. It is just
that the live outline view exercised the cache more heavily in a threaded
(concurrent) manner which brought the issue to light. So you would not be
worse off at 8.5 with live outline turned off.
By the way, since we don't have a PMR for the Screen Designer issue, we are
not sure whether or not we have addressed it in the upcoming service
release.

Just sharing....
Basically, IBM told me to upgrade RDP 8 to RDP 8.5, when it is patched. And
turn off Live outline, just like others have already said on this form.
They said this is NOT an issue on RDP 8.5.
But, they are working on the issue of the "stale source" problem. Which is
why I downgraded to version 8.0.3.
Sorry, but I need to count of reading the TRUE SOURCE that is stored on the
IBM. RDP 8.0.3 always does that for me! Unlike RDP 8.5. and it's "Stale
source" issue.

I think you can submit a PMR by calling the 1-800 number and using the
serial number of your machine. I did that the first time I reported an RDp
problem. It took them awhile to find the correct customer number associated
with the product but they did find it and gave to me.

Thanks!
I will have to ask my system administrator to submit this bug report or
maybe he will trust me with our customer number. Since that seems required.
I happen to be creating dozens of "interface" programs, and having to type
the correct HARDCODE program name. But, if that is how it works, I have no
choice...
At least the scan in RDP works quite well.
I have been using WDSC/RDi/RDP for over 7-years. Overall, it is a great
product! Thank you IBM!!!
