Re: Change remote system properties with no loss of filters

I had OK luck with this:

1. COPY your connection to a new name.
2. CHANGE the new connection to the address you want.
3. ADD one new filter in the new connection (any filter, you can delete
it later).
4. Now select all your filters from the OLD connection.
5. Right click, Copy... (or, Move...)
6. Select the NEW connection in the resulting prompt.
7. The filters are copied (or moved) to the NEW connection.
8. Now you can delete the old connection and rename the new one (if you
choose).


You probably lose all your cached up objects and other stuff from the OLD
connection, and I am not sure what else, but it gets your filters in the
new connection.

Seems kind of silly that anything is tied to the actual address of a
system rather than to the object containing the address. I'm glad I never
had to change my connection! At least I am forewarned.

How?

I exported, made the properties changes on the existing connection, then
imported. Everything is back as it was as if I had done nothing. Right
where I started.

Hi Jeff,

It's best to export your properties first.

Open the export configuration dialog. Click File > Export > Rational
Developer for i > Configuration Files.

Once they are exported, you can use the File > Import..

Here's an older link, but it should help.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Change remote system properties with no loss of

filters

All,

I connect to a single system via IP address. I decided I want to

connect

to that system via a DNS entry instead.

I right-clicked that system, selected properties, and proceeded to

change

it to the DNS entry. After reentering my password, I had lost all the
filters, etc I had set up. Thankfully I had made a copy of the

workspace.

How can I make that change to the remote system without losing

everything?

Or make a full copy (copy/paste did not do it)?

Thanks.
