Greg,
The only thing we can be sure for is, that we should never say "never". Though I do not believe, that the problem is related to iSphere. I would rather assume that the "CHGPFM FILE(...) MBR(...) TEXT(...)" command is not correctly triggered, sometimes or that there is a lock on the member preventing the text from being changed.
I know, that the following idea creates a lot of data, but maybe it is worth a try. If the problems happens often enough, you may start journaling for the source file and check the journal for code "F" entries of type "CB". That will tell you the program and time, a CHGPFM command has been executed to change the member.
Example (entry data):
Object . . . . . . . : QRPGLESRC Library . . . . . . : ISPHEREDVP
Member . . . . . . . : DEMO1X
Incomplete data . . : No Minimized entry data : *NONE
Sequence . . . . . . : 22824262
Code . . . . . . . . : F - Database file member operation
Type . . . . . . . . : CB - Physical file member changed

I have a DLTOLDJRNR command that deletes journal receivers older than a given number of days and that I gladly share with you.

You could periodically call it from the job scheduler to delete old journals.

Betreff: [WDSCI-L] Mysteriously changing source member text
I'm not sure if this could be an iSphere issue or not. I'm running RDi v9.5.1.0 and iSphere 2.9.3r
This is the second occasion that I've had source member's text get "overlaid" from another source member(s). I know this isn't just a typo because the entire source text is changed to something that matches a completely different source member.
Just this morning, I opened QCLSRC to find the text changed on the first three source members!
I often open a source member, do a "Save As", then update the source member text (sometimes in the Properties Tab, other times I'll right click and change it in the Properties Dialog Box).
Any idea what is going on here? This is really unsettling.
Greg
