I always compile in batch, but I only compile from the green screen,
so maybe my views don't translate to an RDi-based workflow.

Alas, terminology.

An interactive compile uses the server job that RDi has previously
established to execute commands. That job starts when RDi does and
lasts until RDi closes (ish). So, technically speaking, an interactive
compile runs in batch too.

One might consider it 'interactive' in that each developer has a
separate server job. If all hundred of them compile programs
simultaneously, IBM i will process all hundred of them at the same time.
(Leaving work management details aside for the moment).

If the same hundred developers requested the same hundred compiles
simultaneously, and those requests went to a single, common job queue
('batch compile'), they would process one after the other, rather than
all in one go.
