Re: RDI

Between the development/test/production connections, I also create a filter pool in production, and then a filter pool reference to that pool in the test and development connections and call these filter pools "Active" and "On-Hold" and "Archived". Within this filter pool, you create the member filter for a project, say Prj#001. With that setup, Prj#001 will magically appear in every connection and will show the source members if they exist at the production, test, or development library because each connection is setup with its own library list.

I usually use our change management plug-ins to handle this, but, they lag certification about 9-12 months behind the latest RDi version, so, I use the previously described method to see the member status without the change management plugins.

Aye Capt‘n,

so first you should definitely install the wonderful „iSphere“ plug-in. It does add „decorators“ which show the library, object and member description strings in the RSE tree / filter views.

Next, define separate connections to your system(s) which set the right library lists. I have separate connections for test/production environments, and for different application packages.

And define all your creation commands for every type of member - using OPTIONS(*EVENTF) to send the errors to RDi.

Ah - and // TODO: comments are also cool - the are collected in an extra view.

If you have multiple systems / partitions you can e.g. copy source members from one to another - and even compare members on different systems.

I work exclusively in RDi since about 5 years and I still find new things from time to time.

HTH
Daniel

I'm an old school SEU programmer and want to get into RDI. I have it and played around with it but is there a good resource anyone has found real helpful? I know there are many "google" sites etc.. I program in .net as well so the interface looks familiar but just want to get the most out of it I can. On that note, any cool things anyone has done with it that is not the "norm"?


Thanks---Captain Ron
