%SCAN in RDi version 9.0

Is the %SCAN function supported in the new version of RDi? The fix list mentions %CHECK and %TRIM but not
%SCAN. I needed the function last week but found we didn't have PTF SI49061 installed. We installed it
today and %SCAN now works in SEU but not RDp 8.5.1.

RDi 9.0 & third party plug-in's

Folks:

I'm pleasantly surprised to report that, at least initially, RDi 9.0 appears to be compatible with
plug-in's that interact with the Remote System Explorer and are currently compatible with RDi 7.5. 

Obviously this isn't a blanket statement or a guarantee of compatibility ... all vendors that provide
Rational Developer plug-in's need to run appropriate certification tests to ensure all functionality works.

<vendor note>I work for PTC, makes of Implementer, which includes a Rational Developer plug-in.</vendor note>

Rational Developer for i V9.0 Export Preferences

I was easily able to import my RDI 8.5 preferences into V9.

The only preference I found so far that didn't seem to come with import was
my preferred font.

But out of curiosity, after I changed my preferred font I tried to export
my preferences but this process seems to have changed and I cannot figure
out how to export my preferences so that I have a backup of them should I
ever need them.

How do I backup the preferences to an .epf file in V9?

You do need a connection associated Vern - but that doesn't make projects useless. Admittedly the 1 library
1 project is more than annoying but …

I use them quite a bit partly because it is a convenient way of grouping the required files for a specific
project but also because I can edit and verify while not connected.

how to save local file on IBM i source file

I am still trying to find my way around RDI.

This time I created a new program from scratch in RDI/lpex.  But it is 
only on my pc local folders.  I cannot figure out how to save it to the 
source file in my library on the IBM i.

When I click save as, my only choices are local.  None of the 
connections, libraries, objects, etc, under remote system explorer are 
visible in the save as dialog box.

I tried to drag and drop from remote system explorer, and it looked like 
it was going to move/copy it, but it remains in local.

I don't recall how I created it, but I sure as heck can't put it where I 
want it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Missing views after applying license

I had my RDp 8.5 fully set up before I applied my license.  After applying the license, I can no longer get any
SVN or TN5250J views.  Those folder don't even show up under "Show View".  I checked and the Subclipse and
TN5250J features are still showing installed and enabled.

Any suggestions?

Spell check

I want to be able to use a spelling checker with text stored in IBM i
source files.  I see spelling preferences (general > editors > text
editors) but this does not seem to apply to Lpex editor.  For source
members, open-with only offers Lpex.

Connection Timeouts...

   In the archives
   ([1]http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/201005/msg00137.html) Dave Shaw
   mentions "Having the job status display refresh every 30 minutes resets
   the inactivity timers, so the connection job stays up."

   Can Dave or someone explain how I would do this so I can give it a try and
   see if fixes my connections dropping.

   Thanks,

   Robert Rogerson

Re: RDP 8.5 editing off-line but rdp keeps trying to connect -

You could also try right-clicking on the connection in the RSE tree and 
selecting 'Work Offline' near the very bottom of the pop-up menu.

My guess is that RDP was trying to connect and lock the source members on 
IBM i.  You might try upgrading to 8.5.1.  There were a lot of bug fixes 
included.

RDP 8.5 editing off-line but rdp keeps trying to connect -

I am trying to edit DDS members in LPEX and the RDP client keeps locking up for 5 or 10 seconds at a time as I am
working and changing the source members.
So I decided to try to work locally on my workstation using a Project.  I have downloaded my source members and
editing locally and I am still getting the delays.
So I closed the connection to the Power 7.  Now as I am working RDP is trying to connect to the Power 7 as I make
changes.  The login window pops up and I close it and it pops up again (5 or 6 times) before I can continue.
How do I tell RDP to stop talking to the IBM i while I am working with DDS?

Some notes:
1. This is RDP 8.5.0
2. This RDP behavior is not evident when editing RPG, CBL or CL.
3. We recently started using a co-location so my connection to the Power 7 is remote and the delay in the
connection to machine is a new situation
4. Yes, I know I should be using DDL, but the current environment dictates DDS 

Thanks folks,

Paul
