Darren,
You've already discovered that you can specify *LIBL or *USRLIBL in the filter which gives lots of flexibility. I set the development connection's library list to also include the production source library, which means you get to see the production source in your development filters when you use *USRLIBL in the filter properties. Obviously a little care is needed to prevent changes to production source, but I think the benefit outweighs the potential risk. If you make certain the production library is at the end of the development connection's library list then the production source will appear further down the filter results than the development source.
You can right-click your connection's "Objects" subsystem and click the "Select filter pools" to open another connection's filter pool's filters under the current connection's library list. The filter pool selection doesn't appear to be fully stable after you restart RDP/RDi, so deselecting the additional filter pool before you restart is a good habit to build. (I haven't raised a PMR for this as it only rarely affects me and so I can't be bothered.)
-Paul.

I'd forgotten about filter pools. What you're outlining here looks really good. I think I I'll try setting some tests up. Do you handle the concept of a development library and a production library with this somehow? If I have a development library filter, then the entries disappear when they're put into production. Its almost like I would need a filter on both production and development for each project.

I use source member filters in the Remote Systems Explorer perspective to group together source members in a "project". They link directly to the server source, so bypass that extra step of promotion with iProjects. With careful and consistent naming of the filters you can keep control of your work history.
Expanding on that, I use multiple connections to the same IBM i (to control library lists) and multiple profiles (to separate old, current and "on hold" projects.)
You don't get to move projects around easily (you need to select the contained source members and operate on them that way) but this is the most comfortable method for me that I've found so far.
I'm always eager to learn of other people's setups.

Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Is there a way to group a number of source members together into something like a project? The most logical perspective would be iProject you would hope, but that really only complicates the process by adding another layer of source you have to make sure is synchronized on the server side. I don't really need to work offline. We have a change management tool which is good for promoting and checking out, but it lacks good source grouping for projects.
