Re: RDi from a remote connection

Mike I am guessing you are carrying the same laptop between home and
office. In this case it does not matter where you are connecting from.
Whether VPN from Home or connecting directly thru office you do not need
separate licenses.

For home use i recommend using Projects. (It is called Projects on
WDSC....not sure what it is called on RDi)

Like Booth M, explained, RDi lets you download sources to your PC. Then you
can go offline. Make all changes. And re-establish the connection to your
IBM i system & Push Changes and Compile.

But if you chose to modify sources thru VPN without using Projects, then
you may run into timeouts while saving the source & the source gets locked
on IBM i half way thru saving.

Here is my experience, fwiw.
1-I believe the license is to the user. You can use it as many places as
you like but obviously you can be in only one place at a time.
2-The transition from SEU to RDi was, for me, gradual. One day it dawned
that I had not used an SEU session for over a year.
3-RDi allows you two ways to work on your projects. One is to connect
directly to the libraries on the i and make changes there directly. The
other, which I prefer, is to have the source copied into my PC so I can
work off-line, and then connect when I want to compile. Both work well. I
have also worked on a team where the project was shared and used SVN. That
worked fine, too, although it took me some getting used to it.
4-RDi is really great if you want to connect to more than one system.

all fwiw.

What's the best way to use RDi when working remotely (like a home
office)? As I try to move from SEU to RDi for development I find myself
going back to "the old ways" because it is so much easier to do work using
SEU from home over VPN and secure telnet. I am also not sure of the
licensing rules for RDi vs the unlimited license I have for Client Access.
Do I need to purchase another RDi license for home use? I would still VPN
to work with RDi which I could then remote to my office desktop but that
just adds another layer of complication. Is anyone doing this with RDi?

Thanks
