Re: Save AS with RDi - local only?

Oh gosh, make sure that's a user preference and not the default!  Life is already a pain when I've got a bunch of members open for different hosts and I'm not connected to any of them.  RDi whacks me over and over again for licensing info, and it's can literally take minutes to wade through all of that.

There is a related RFE

which is for "Lock Source Opened at Startup of RDi". This would relock
members when RDi is reopened.

I did some testing on this this morning to verify Vern's findings.

When a member is initially opened in RDi, then Save As is performed, the
QSYSSaveAsDialog is shown, which will save the member to IBM i.

However, if RDi is closed with that member open, then re-opened, the Save
As uses the org.eclipse.ui.ide.save dialog.
And that dialog shows that the member will be saved to the local system's
remoteSystemTempFiles location.
Presumably because when RDi starts, it opens the member from the local
system's remoteSystemTempFiles location. The 'connection' between the
opened member and the IBM i is lost.


So what is needed would be an option to present the QSYSSaveAsDialog for
objects opened from the remoteSystemTempFile location.

Hmm, if you have closed and re-opened RDI then I suspect that to be
different from just opening a source member in a connected session. That
is when you close RDI the lock on the source member is released. This
won't be re-acquired until you do a save or something with the edit
session. So on re-open of RDI the edit window is just reloaded from the
local source so it is essentially a local file on your PC. As a result
the
dialog presented when you do a SaveAs will likely be different?

Yeah Michael - only one connection - well, I use connections to 3 LPARs,
all in the same workspace.

My goal was to make a copy of an existing source member with a different
name in the same source file. The original had been left open over
several shutdowns and restarts over several days. If I create and save a
new member, then do a save as from the file menu, it does give me the
library list and the source file that it came from -- so that feels
different.

Thanks
Vern

There is some odd-ball behaviour with this Vern. Sometimes it works
and sometimes it only offers a local target. I've never formally
reported it as I can't get it to repeat consistently.

Y'all

I have tried from time to time to save a source member as a
different name, and using the Save as... menu item.
This must be saving only to the local workspace, because it
doesn't seem to add a member on the IBM i.
I must have missed something, as this wasn't my expectation. So
what do we have to do? Go to RSE and make a copy, then open that up to
edit?
This feels clumsy - I'm curious what else I've missed in this
process.
Cheers

Nothing solid here, but could it be the connection it's using. (That's
assuming you have multiple connections.)
