Rational Rdi – Isphere Plugin Update 3.6.0.r

A new Isphere update was released a few days ago, the fantastic free Plugin for Rational Rdi, created by Tools / 400 (Thomas Raddats & C), which can not miss in every Rdi installation for its pluses that greatly facilitate the daily work of the RPG / Cobol developer.

Personally I find the Isphere source search really indispensable … I also talked about it in this post on our Faq400 Blog: https://blog.faq400.com/it/programmazione/rdi-faq-and-tips-part-2/ … but a lot of other new Isphere’s functions are great (message-files, data-queues and so on)

This Isphere update brings the following improvements, mainly collected from suggestions – user feedback.

List of new features and changes of 3.6.0.r:

• Added pinable “Spooled Files” view along with menu option “Work With Spooled Files”, which is available from the context menu of
  an iSphere spooled file filter.
• Added option to cancel loading journal entries to Journal Explorer view.
• Added SQL WHERE editor to the “Job Log Explorer” view.
• Refactored the Job Log Explorer to align the UI with the design of the Journal Explorer plug-in.
• Enhanced the job log parser to understand the different IBM i date and time formats. See Job Log Explorer preferences.
• Added option to cancel the copy operation of the “Copy Members” operation.
• Improved performance of copying members between different IBM i systems.
• Changed source file search and added attribute “Member type” to restrict the search to a certain member type.
• Changed source file search dialog and made member list area resizable.
• Changed result view of iSphere Source File Search to display the sort order in the column header of the members table.
• Improved error checking of WHERE clauses when filtering journal entries.
• Fixed iSphere Source File Search (regular expression option) to properly support locales (CCSIDs).
• Fixed ErrorCompletingRequestException (Length is not valid), when receiving journal entries with a 16MB buffer.
• Fixed error when parsing a job log when the time separator is a space.

Installing the update is very simple, follow the same Isphere installation procedure found on the original Isphere site itself: http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0/
