Re: RSE library list problem

Hi Justin,

I did not mention that I consider the behavior "wrong". I was surprised that I noticed the behavior that late and I miss a "Replace initial library list" checkbox.

I have a whole bunch of different tiny things to do and a lot of those things require a different library list. Writing a CL for each new thing is not my prefered way.

Personally, I never considered the behavior "wrong".

We don't use the RDi library list. We just use the "Initial command" to call a CL to do the setup.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RSE library list problem

Hi,

Although I use RDi for a couple of years, I did not yet notice the following problem before. But now I run into a problem when running a certain unit test. I always thought that the libraries that I specify at "Connection - Subsystem - Objects Tab - Library list" are used for building the library list when establishing a connection to a remote system.

But apparently that is wrong, since in fact the libraries are added to the initial library list of my user profile. For example:

The initial library list of my user profile is:

QSYS2924
UBMSYS
QSYS
QSYS2
QHLPSYS
QUSRSYS
RADDATZ400
QTEMP
QGPL
RZ.FOO
RZ.BAR

The library list of the RSE connection is:

LIBHTTP139

Now, when the connection is made, the library list of the connection is:

QSYS2924
UBMSYS
QSYS
QSYS2
QHLPSYS
QUSRSYS
RADDATZ400
QTEMP
QGPL
RZ.FOO
RZ.BAR
LIBHTTP139

This behavior makes it difficult to specify the proper library list for a connection. Sadly I cannot use "CHGLIBL *NONE" as the "Initial command" of the connection to clear the library list before, because the initial command is execute after the library list was built.

Of course I can fix the library list when I specify the libraries with "library position" *FIRST in reverse order. That is not nice and hard to read, but at last it works.

How do you specify the library list of your RSE connections to get the right list?

Things would be so easy if there was a checkbox "Replace initial library list" on the properties dialog of the RSE connection.

Regards,

Thomas.
