FW: QUSEC being cleared

Hi,

Whenever I clear my cached files, all the temporary files are removed from the workspace. This is what I want. However, afterwards for a few days/weeks, whenever RDi comes across a new /COPY book within an RPGLE source member, it might load it into the LPEX editor (as well as the source member requested) and I need to close it manually. Sometimes this is the QSYSINC/QRPGLESRC(QUSEC) member, which is write inhibited. This is just odd behaviour, but it might be related to the main issue.

Sometimes I get an error response when the QUSEC member is loaded telling me I have received a CPF4194 "Member QUSEC can be opened only for input" error. However, it has somehow succeeded in *clearing* the QUSEC source member before this message and I then need to restore this system file from a backup in order to get programs to compile!

This has happened three times since December. I only have circumstantial evidence that RDi is doing the deed, but it is a major issue and so I need as much advice as I can get. It only happens for me (my other colleagues don't get the /COPY book loading behaviour, nor any errors about QUSEC.)

There is another oddity that might be related. After some compiles (probably no more than twice a day), I get a message in the status bar telling me it is synchronizing resources. When I bring up more details it seems that RDi is trying to write to the EVFEVENT file member that was just mentioned in the compile listing view. Surely RDi doesn't need to write to this member? Sometimes this synchronizing takes 2 minutes and I can not select a compile or save option in RDi until it finishes.

This is in the .log file after the most recent QUSEC deletion incident:

If anyone else has seen these behaviours or errors then I would appreciate any advice you might have. Between us, my colleagues and I have only just made the connection between the QUSEC going missing and this error on my screen (you don't notice QUSEC is missing until you compile a source member that uses it.) I'm going to have to spend an hour or so now creating a new workspace from scratch in the hopes that stops this issue.



-Paul.



P.S. I created a new workspace, and the first source member I opened had 6 /COPY books in it. One of them was opened at the same time that I opened the source member, and the opened /COPY book's member change date has been set to today (when it was last changed in 2011). This is another major problem! I will now have to uninstall and reinstall RDi in order to make certain I am working with a vanilla environment.

I have Softlanding's RSE Extension, midrange.com's RSE extension and the iSphere plugin installed, but nothing else.
