Re: 9.6.0.6 infinite loop hanging unable to use

The original issue, which I've actually submitted to IBM, was that when
I switched from a machine on VPN1 to a machine on VPN2 with source
members open on both machines, RDi would attempt to log into the VPN1
machine, seemingly to attempt to live parse one of the source members I
had open. After 30 seconds or so, it would fail and then go on to the
next member. This could take several minutes if I had a number of
source members open. Discussion with the lab centered on trying to get
that failure to only occur once.

Well, 9.6.0.6 has made this immeasurably worse. Now, it goes through a
couple of the source members, and then sits on one and keeps looping.
30 seconds, then "Connection could not be established" then "Enter
Password". Lather, rinse and repeat. On the bottom of the display, I
can see that it's live parsing the same member, sitting at 0%. The only
answer is to terminate the Java process. But if I start RDi again, I
get the same endless loop.

The lab says they're trying to address it, but I'm very frustrated at
this point. The simple answer is, if you get an error on a connection,
stop trying to connect to it. If I close every member every time I shut
down, I'm fine, but that defeats the purpose of being able to switch to
a different connection. I might as well have one workspace for each
connection.

I'm looking at reinstalling RDi because of a problem that I already
reported and has gotten worse. Not my best day.

UPDATE: While I was typing this, the loop finally ended. It looped
through the last member of VPN1 about 8 times and then finally gave up.
Interestingly, there were about that many member open on VPN2. I won't
even hazard a guess, and I'm going to move on. I will, though, consider
the one workspace per VPN connection gambit, inconvenient though it
might be.
