Re: RDi - Two Object List views

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is a "workaround" that may help. Instead of using the Object List 
view, use the Remote Systems view.

In the Remote Systems view, (the hierarchical navigation tree usually 
located on the left of the IBM i perspective) create separate filters 
which deliver the different lists of libraries, objects or members you 
require.

In the context menu for each Filter, (right-click) select OPEN IN NEW 
WINDOW. You will now have separate windows for each Filter; move and 
resize as required to place them side-by-side to compare.

You could go one step further.

Within each of the above separate windows, you could populate the Object 
List view as required using its own Filter mechanism. So you now have 
different tables as well as different lists. Detach (hold left mouse 
button down on tab and move) each of the Object List tables and 
move/resize as required to compare side-by-side.

Another tip.

You /could/ produce a text file or print (PDF?) of the contents of each 
Object List view and with a bit of manipulation compare the results, 
(manually or using source compare tools.) The drop-down menu (down 
arrow) in the Object List view provides PRINT and EXPORT TO FILE 
options. (The latter is a little counter-intuitive. Use the BROWSE 
button first, to define the location and name of the file to be created. 
Also, ensure the SELECTED ENTRIES ONLY checkbox is blank, otherwise 
you'll only see highlighted entries in the result - not the entire 
filtered list.)

FINALLY - A note to Thomas re. iSphere

If you right-click on a filter within the Remote Systems view, the 
context menu shows the following iSphere options:
- iSphere Message File Search
- iSphere Source File Search
- Save As

The SAVE AS option suggests the Filter List can be saved as text, HTML 
or a PDF. (This would indeed be very useful!) However, at present the 
SAVE AS option only works with Spooled Files - not the Filter List.

HTH,
Brian.
