Add library column to RSE Show in Table Work with objects.

When creating a work with objects filter in RSE, you may have the same object name in multiple libraries. But library is not an available column when using the Show in Table option, even though it is a property viewable by right clicking. This is feature that would be extremely useful for our environment, as we have files distributed among multiple libraries.


Use Case:

This would be a huge benefit for varifying that files are distributed to all libraries they need to be in. It would also be useful for tracking down other object types as well, duplicate programs for example. The ability to build filtered lists over multiple libraries is a great feature. Missing the library from the result table negates that usefulness.

    This feature is now available in the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V8.5 product.
    For details, please see the product Web site at:
    http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/products/rdp/

    The following is information related to this update and other updates made to the object table view that have been implemented in the V8.5 release:

    By default for members, their names, types, attributes, and text descriptions are displayed in the object table member view. In additon to Last modified, and Created, now you can add File and Library to the list of selected columns for Member types as follows:

    1) Select to view all available columns for the Object Table view, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the top right) from the view and select Show columns -> All.
    or
    2) Change the preferences for the Object Table view to create a customized view, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the top right) from the view and select Preferences. Select File and Library from the available columns and move it to the Selected columns. Click OK.
    Now you can select to view customized columns for the Object Table view, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the to right) from the view and select Show columns -> Customized.

    Similarly for objects, in addition to Last modified, Created and Size, now you can add Library and Last used date to the list of selected columns for Object types as follows:

    1) Select to view all available columns for the Object Table view when a list of objects is displayed, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the top right) from the view and select Show columns -> All.
    or
    2) Change the preferences for the Object Table view to create a customized view, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the top right) from the view and select Preferences. Select Object from the Type drop-down and then select Library and Last used date from the available columns and move it to the Selected columns. Click OK.
    Now you can select to view customized columns for the Object Table view, by clicking the drop-down menu (down arrow at the to right) from the view and select Show columns -> Customized.

    There is now also an option to modify the Date Column Format in the Table view. To change this setting, select Window > Preferences, then select Remote Systems > IBM i > Table view > Date Column Format.
