SE59236: RDP 8.5.1 RSE CONNECTION FAILS WHEN ':' IS USED IN THE CONNECTION NAME

Rational Developer for i 9.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a character such as a colon (':') is used as part of the name
  for an RSE connection the connection will create without
  problems but not work correctly.  Source members may be opened
  but saving changes will not be successful.
  

Local fix

• Rename the connection to remove characters like ':' that are not
  valid for the naming of files or directories on the client
  platform.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * RDi users who define an RSE connection with ':' in the name. *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If an RSE connection is created with a ':' in its name,      *
  * source member saves do not work.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The colon in the name messes up RSE's ability to properly
  recognize the host location and hence prevents uploads.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix has been provided in the RDi 9.1.1 update, so that names
  with ':' don't cause problems.
  

Temporary fix
