SE54484: WHEN SRCPF IN IPROJECT .PROPERTIES FILE IS EDITED, RECLEN, TEXT DESCRIPTION, CCSID, AND IGCDATA ARE CACHED AND NOT CHANGED.

Rational Developer for i 9.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• RDP 8.0.3.1 source physical file in an iProject has a .propertie
  s file that indicate the record length, CCSID, text description,
  and IGCDATA flag of the source physical file and its members.
  If the data in the .properties file is changed, these changes
  will not be reflected if a push or an undo is performed.
  The .properties file is cached.  Currently, the only way to
  clear the contents is to save and close RDP and restart the
  client workspace.
  Only the changed text description is pushed if the .properties
  file is changed.  The other properties are only used when a
  source physical file is created on push.
  

Local fix

• Close the workspace and restart RDP.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Source file and member properties such  *
  *                      as text description, record length, and *
  *                      CCSID were not refreshed when a project *
  *                      was imported if those existed prior to  *
  *                      the import.                             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The properties of i Project resources are cached. If the
  underlying properties files were changed as they are in an
  import operation the cache was not being cleared and refreshed.
  
  This problem is fixed in Rational Developer for i 9.0.
