If you close RDI with an open source it will release the locks on shutdown.
At startup the member will be loaded from the local cached version and try
to lock the source and check last changed dates if you try to save.
Unless your primary source is in an i Project I would recommend closing
remote source edit sessions before closing RDI.

Sent by: "WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I edited a source member earlier in the week. When I got done, I saved my
source and exited RDI. I did not close my source member before closing
RDI.
Thursday and Friday I was on a different machine without RDI so I used SEU
to make a bunch of additional changes.
Today, I opened RDI. My source was open on the screen so I started making
changes. After about 30 minutes or so, I attempted to save. It told me
there was a more recent version and asked me what I wanted to do. I saved
my source to a different name and then did a source compare. None of the
Thursday or Friday changes were in the source I worked on today. I just
spent an hour trying to merge the two source files together and I'm still
not confident that I got everything.
When I start RDI, shouldn't it check any already open members to see if
they
have been changed by something else and warn me that I am not viewing the
most recent version? Do I have something configured wrong somewhere?
I am using RDI version 9.5.
