Re: Fwd: EVFA9112 during startup when not connected

Thanks, Steve!

Ironically, I just went to check my version and of course it's taking forever to start up.  The strange thing about this is that I had disconnected all of my remote connections, but the IDE is insisting on live parsing members that I have open.  So the only way to stop the behavior seems to be to close all my members (which is definitely a major annoyance) or to "mark the connection as offline".  This latter is an unfamiliar concept to me.  Do you mean I should right-click on the connection and select "Work Offline"?  And then if I want to work I then have to change that flag back to online?

Can we just tell the IDE not to go through live parsing on startup?  My take on this most of the time is that if doing things automatically causes significant user pain, then you may need a way to stop that automatic action.

Okay, finally finished.  I'm at 9.6.0.3.  I usually don't upgrade right away, but I guess it's been six or seven months since .4 came out.  Does .4 or .5 address this issue?

Hi Joe,

Best way is to mark the connection as OFFLINE. Especially if you don't plan on connecting.

What version are you on Joe?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Fwd: EVFA9112 during startup when not connected

I connect to multiple machines over different VPNs with a single instance of RDi.  Recently I started RDi before any VPN was established and in fact, I wasn't planning on using a VPN at all, I was going to edit local source.  Unfortunately, it looks like RDi wanted to parse every source member that I had left open on a VPN, and that caused literally five minutes of multiple popups, including the titular
EVFA9112 dialog and even the old-school gray JT400 connection box.

Is there a way to prevent this from occurring?  Can I tell RDi not to attempt to parse things unless I'm connected?

Just wondering.
