All that makes sense - I think showing the connection name is a lot better - as you point out, connections can point at the same address. And if you used a numeric IP address, you might not know what you're connected to.

Seems to me that the internal tree uses the connection name a lot - I'd have to look again, but that's what I remember.

Sounds like a great RFE!!

Vern,

The host name is useless if you have multiple connections to the same host defining different library lists, which I presume is the OP's situation. I know, because I do the same thing - I currently have 6 different connections to my development system and 2 to production.


I very occasionally have the same issue as the OP, and have learned to be careful of which connection I use when opening a member. I'd be happy if the tab gave the connection name instead of the host name - additional prompts when compiling would be annoying to me.

Just sayin', this kind of thing handled by Turnover very nicely - yeah,
I know - we're lucky to have a full-function CMS here.

So what you're doing, Buck, and others, is finding ways to manage groups
of source for certain projects - Mark's dilemma is one I'd not thought
of, either.

But I think the information is there, albeit not in the form we want. If
you hover over the tab of the editor for the member, it will give you
tooltip - this looks something like this -

RemoteSystemsTempFiles/IP-address-or-host-name-of-IBM-i/QSYS.LIB/YOURLIB.LIB/QRPGLESRC.FILE/YOURMBR.RPGLE

This is also in the title bar of RDi - it has the perspective first, and
" - IBM Rational Developer for i" is at the end.

So if you have a recognizable IP address or host name (I used one when I
set up the connection), you DO know the "connection" you are in for that
member.
