SE72138: RDI 9.6.0.6 I PROJECT CHANGES NOT ALWAYS PUSHED WHEN "PUSH SELECTED RESOURCES IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES" IS SELECTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.6 source files edited
  in i Projects do not have those updates pushed to the server
  when the i Project preference (Preferences > i Projects > Build
  and Compile) is set to "Push selected resources if there are
  any changes"  when a Remote Action - Compile action is
  performed on the source file in the i Project. When two or more
  source members have been edited in the i Project, the first
  subsequent compile remote action will push the one member being
  compiled, but incorrectly alter the sync state of the other
  files. The other updated files will not be  pushed when the
  compile remote action is done for them, and the Remote
  Reconciler view will show them as being in sync with the server;
  instead of having local changes. The edited changes are still in
  the local i Project, but the sync state with the server has been
  reset.
  

Local fix

• Change the i Project preference from "Push selected resources
  if there any changes" to the other setting: "Push all
  changed resources in the project"
