SE57036: RDI 9.0 LPEX EDITOR HANGS AFTER KEYSTROKES WHEN EDITING DDS

Rational Developer for i 9.0.1

APAR status

Error description

• When editing DDS source with database references with the LPEX
  or Screen Designer editor the user interface can be momentarily
  unresponsive at times.  This behaviour makes it difficult to be
  productive.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Those editing DDS, with properties view      *
  *                 open, on a slow network connection.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: LPEX editor is unresponsive when        *
  *                      typing or moving cursor in DDS source.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When cursoring through or editing a DDS line that contains a
  database reference, the properties view or Design page would
  request the information about that database field from the
  IBM i, and the user interface events are not processed until
  that information comes back over the network.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix is in the RDi 9.0.1 update.
  
  Reduced the network requests by more effective use of caching
  to avoid this lack of response while cursoring and editing
  source, with the exception of the initial time each field is
  encountered.
  

Temporary fix
