Re: How to save after getting dropped from host

There must be some weird bug in RDi that causes this Brian.

I was certain that I had done what you describe - but also remembered having issues in the past. Sure enough when I checked it for Roger's question I found I couldn't do it.

It appears that if a) A member is open and b) the connection subsequently drops then even if the connection is made again then RDi subsequently treats the file as being local and will not offer anything other than local destinations for Save As.

This problem is also responsible I think for some of the occasions where I have edited the source, saved it as normal, and then compiled - only to find that what was compiled was the old version of the program. When this happens sometimes a restart of RDi has cured it - at other times it requires creating a new member and copying the content of the original in it and saving it that way.

I've never reported it as a bug (although I've mentioned it to the developers) because I can't get it to repeat on demand. It just happens sometimes.

Roger, what level of RDi are you using?

When I try this, I have the ability to FILE > SAVE AS from the Menu. The navigation window that pops up allows me to save the current source member to a different connection (server). I can even create a new connection within this navigation window, if necessary.

HTH,
Brian.

Our development LPAR went down today - appears to be a hardware issue of some sort - IBM onsite now.

I have an edited source member open in RDi but can't save it as I have no connection. I thought I could save locally or to our production LPAR but don't see that as an option.

I have copied it into Notepad++ for safekeeping. Is there a way to save locally or switch to another connection from within RDi?

Thanks.
