Re: iSphere Compare Source missing right-to-left copy -- WDSCI-L

Hi Patrick,

here is my detailed analysis of the problem you reported. First of all, I am as sure as I could be, that the problem is not an iSphere thing.

My test setup consisted of:

1. My office laptop and my desktop PC.
2. RDi 9.6.0.11 on both computers.
3. iSphere 4.2.5.b003 installed.

a) Test: Launch RDi and open iSphere compare editor.

Result: worked fine on both computers.

b) Test: Launch Eclipse test application from RDi and open iSphere compare editor.

Result: Worked fine on the Laptop but showed the problem you reported on the desktop PC!!!

So I decided to install RDi next to the existing installation on my desktop PC. I started with 9.6.0.0 and applied all updates til 9.6.0.11. I tested the compare editor between each update.

Result: worked fine

Then I directly installed RDi 9.6.0.11 once again and tested the iSphere compare editor.

Result: worked fine

So at the end my best bet is, that something went wrong when I updated my desktop PC from RDi 9.6.0.10 to 9.6.0.11.

Regards,

Thomas.

I created another document with more step-by-step screenshots. Follow the
link above.

A few notes:
1. the first time I compared source members this morning the PWC screen
appeared on the left as I intended, but ever since the first try the PWC
member shows on the right although I designated the left. (see the
screenshots > PWC is short for the library MDASIPWC and JC is short for
library MDASIJC)
2. copy direction is one way from JC to PWC. Even when I use the "swap left
and right view". The copy direction changs so that only JC to PWC is
possible.
2a. I have edit authority to both members. I checked with SEU.

That is strange. I assume that you selected the two members and then
clicked the "Switch Left/Right" button (it is still selected on the
screenshot) before clicking the "OK" button, right?

I did the same with members DEMO1 and DEMO2 of the iSphere library. If I
select members DEMO1 and DEMO2, then DEMO1 goes to the left and DEMO2 goes
to the right by default. When I click the "Switch Left/Right" button before
the "OK" button, then the content of the "Compare Source Members" dialog
changes accordingly and DEMO2 goes to the left and DEMO1 to the right.

So that worked as expected and I am not able to reproduce the problem.

Is there anything else that you could share with us?

Thomas.

Follow the link above to an .odt that has the screenshots. The document
name is iSphereCompareSource20220303.odt

I set one member to show on the right, but it showed on the left. Then
source on the right would not copy to the left. See the icons in the
screenshot.
The icon to copy code from the right to the left does not show. When I
hover over the square that marks a difference in source members, only the
option to copy from the left to the right shows.
