Re: Newsletter / Marketing: RDi RFE 121114

I don't get that, Steve. Perhaps there is a Preference or option I am
missing somewhere?

I am working with 9.6.0.3 and for me the contents of the Remote
Scratchpad, (Local and Connected Objects) are not restored on restart. To
clarify, I have a list of Local/Connected objects and source members in the
RS. I shutdown RDi completely. Upon a restart of RDi, the RS list is empty.
(This is what I would expect of a view called "scratchpad". However, it
would be nice to have the option to save/restore the RS list.)

Take your point on Disconnect/Reconnect. This works nicely.

It would be _really_ be nice to have the facility to save the current
"working set" list of objects and restore this list at a later date - not
necessarily at startup. Something like a Snippet?

Hi Don,

The discussion in WDSCI-L prompted me to look into the scratch pad
restore state. In version 9.6.0.3, the state of the scratchpad is saved
between restarts.

Local objects will always restore. Connected objects will re-appear when
the connection is restored. If you are working off-line with connected
objects, they will only re-appear once you go work online and connect.
There are two toolbar buttons that allow you to clear items.

The Remote Scratch Pad is a handy view since it allows you to track
related objects of varied types.

The RFE to include more options for the scratch pad can be found at the
following link: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=

The best way to deal with this requirement Don is to add it as a comment
to the original.

I have voted for your RFE.

I have started using the scratchpad again after watching the utube
video you reference.

One other thing that would be good in my opinion would be to have the

list

in the scratchpad optionally last over a restart and have an option to
Clear scratchpad.

I can open an RFE for this but just was interested who would agree
with this ?

Thanks

For anyone who might be interested, I have added the following RFE for

RDi:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=

viewRfe&CR_ID=121114

The Description reads,
"The Remote Scratchpad view in RDi is proving to be exceptionally
useful when handling a number of different objects and source members
at one time. (Ref. Charles Guarino's YouTube video here:
https://youtu.be/gVnH5rgpSu8)
The Scratchpad allows for simpler navigation than Object Table
selection and Remote Explorer filtering when the items have unrelated
names and reside in different libraries or source files.
However, one shortcoming of the Scratchpad is the lack of key actions
in the item context menu. In particular, it would be very helpful to
have:
- Verify
- Compile
- Compile (Prompt)
- User Actions
listed as appropriate in the context menu for a source member. (To
achieve these actions requires navigation back to other views, or
having the source open in an active edit session.)"

Not a showstopper, just a "nice to have". If you're as keen as me to
see this implemented, please cast your vote at the above link.

Brian.
