RELATED IDEAS

Share RSE Connection settings

Provide a means to simply share RSE connection information including host information (host name, libraries, initial commands), filters, commands, etc.

We have a large group of developers working in a shared environment and they all need to have the same connection.

If the connection information can be exported I can check it into subversion and all developers can check it out and stay synchronized.


Use Case:

We setup a development enviroment for a new version of the product. I need to provide library names and an initial command and a variety of object and source filters to all the developers.

Today this needs to be documented as instructions and developers must create their own commections. this process is prone to errors.

    This RFE and 17529 (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=17529) seem to address very similar needs. It would be great if there could be a single place to selectively migrate filters, libraries, commands, etc. as this RFE requests and the editor and other preferences as 17529 does.

    As more developers on the team move to RDP we are finding it harder and harder to keep their development environments synchronized. IBM i Connection settings (LIBL, Initial Command, current library, etc) need to match for all developers as well as compile settings, filters, and user actions. A means to export/import or refresh from a shared repository would REALLY help.
