I've found that opening the object table at the bottom of the screen and
"unlocking" it means that it automatically gets the results of whatever
filter you've clicked on in the RSE pane. Add to this that you can add the
library name to the Object Table, and it makes editing the wrong source
member (production vs. development) much less likely. I'd really like to
define certain libraries as "Browse Only", but I can't think of a slick way
to do this well enough to enter an RFE.

Darren,

You've already discovered that you can specify *LIBL or *USRLIBL in the
filter which gives lots of flexibility. I set the development connection's
library list to also include the production source library, which means you
get to see the production source in your development filters when you use
*USRLIBL in the filter properties. Obviously a little care is needed to
prevent changes to production source, but I think the benefit outweighs the
potential risk. If you make certain the production library is at the end of
the development connection's library list then the production source will
appear further down the filter results than the development source.

You can right-click your connection's "Objects" subsystem and click the
"Select filter pools" to open another connection's filter pool's filters
under the current connection's library list. The filter pool selection
doesn't appear to be fully stable after you restart RDP/RDi, so deselecting
the additional filter pool before you restart is a good habit to build. (I
haven't raised a PMR for this as it only rarely affects me and so I can't
be bothered.)


-Paul.

I'd forgotten about filter pools. What you're outlining here looks really
good. I think I I'll try setting some tests up. Do you handle the concept
of a development library and a production library with this somehow? If I
have a development library filter, then the entries disappear when they're
put into production. Its almost like I would need a filter on both
production and development for each project.

I use source member filters in the Remote Systems Explorer perspective to
group together source members in a "project". They link directly to the
server source, so bypass that extra step of promotion with iProjects. With
careful and consistent naming of the filters you can keep control of your
work history.

Expanding on that, I use multiple connections to the same IBM i (to control
library lists) and multiple profiles (to separate old, current and "on
hold" projects.)

You don't get to move projects around easily (you need to select the
contained source members and operate on them that way) but this is the most
comfortable method for me that I've found so far.

I'm always eager to learn of other people's setups.

Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx




Is there a way to group a number of source members together into something
like a project? The most logical perspective would be iProject you would
hope, but that really only complicates the process by adding another layer
of source you have to make sure is synchronized on the server side. I
don't really need to work offline. We have a change management tool which
is good for promoting and checking out, but it lacks good source grouping
for projects.
