Buck,
Thanks a bunch for the detailed instructions... I already had a compile option setup for compiled RPGLE members into my object library (my source and objects in separate libraries).
The missing piece was using iSphere to Export to Member filter (then open in table) and having a User Action.
One question... Once I had the objects listed in the table, one of the options available (right-click) was "Compile". So I tried it. I was very surprised to learn that it placed the compiled pgm object in the "correct" library (as opposed to the library containing the source). I'm not sure how or why this option placed the object in the correct library??
So I guess (at least in this instance) I don't need the user action??
Here is the other thing... Once I have my source members listed in the object table, all of my compile options are available if I select only ONE of them. The moment I select more than one, those options disappear. Why wouldn't the same options be available?? Doesn't make sense.
Greg

Let's say I change a database file... now I need to recompile all of the RPGLE members that reference that file. I have the iSphere plugin, and have a list of all programs in given source member that need compiled. I was hoping I could simply select all of them and use one of my compile options... but it doesn't seem like I can do that.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
Easiest is in the eye of the beholder, lol!
You need some setup first:
Create a User Action in RSE:
We're going to copy an existing compile command into a User Action.
Compile > Work with Compile Commands
Choose a command for say CRTBNDSQLI, and copy the entire command.
Mine looks like CRTSQLRPGI OBJ(&O/&N) SRCFILE(&L/&F) SRCMBR(&N)
REPLACE(&R) OPTION(*EVENTF) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) RPGPPOPT(*LVL1)
Next, right click a source member > User Actions > Work With User Actions
We're going to end up pasting that compile command into a new member
action, so click New Member action.
I called my action the same as the compile command, so crtbndsqli.
Paste the compile command as-is.
Limit it to the source members you want:
In Defined Types, click the Edit... button.
Right click 'RPG' and Copy.
Click New, Member type.
I called mine SQLRPGLE
In the Member Type box, I chose SQLRPGLE, the clicked Add
Click Create and there's a new Member type. Click Close.
Now select the new member type (SQLRPGLE) and click Add>.
Click Create and we have a new action (crtbndsqli) that only works on
SQLRPGLE members. Click close.
Repeat this for other source member types like RPGLE and maybe RPT?
Setup is done, now let's use it!
I do an iSphere 'Export to member filter', open that filter. Right
click, Show In Table. Click the 'Type' column to sort them all by
member type. Select all the SQLRPGLE types in one go, right click >
User Actions > choose the user action that goes with that member type.
Soooo, easy? There's a little setup, for sure. But once done, I think
it's pretty easy. It's adaptable to several different scenarios, such
as a CM tool or home-grown compile command.
