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.

Hi,

is there a possibility to open two independent Object List views at the same time in RDi?

This would be a great feature to compare sources in 2 libraries.

Until now, I haven’t found anything?

Thanks and kind regards,
Daniel
