00065 - Search next and previous (CTRL+K / CTRL+SHIFT+K) Search next and previous shortcuts (CTRL+K and CTRL+SHIFT+K) only worked in combination with the search dialog (CTRL+F). Now they also work standalone.

Just select a piece of text and press CTRL+K or CTRL+SHIFT+K to search the document quickly.

00022 - Integrate MiWorkplace with TD/OMS TD/OMS now comes with MiWorkplace integration that is on the same level as the integration with RDi for all functions supported by MiWorkplace.
  • Open MiWorkplace Editor when editing
  • Use MiWorkplace compile results
  • Put the item in the build queue on saving
  • Open editors in browse mode when not in development
  • Reset the library list based on the task at hand


E019 - Job list selection of current user and subsystem The job view filters allow the selection of the current user. This enables you to list jobs that run on behalf of a user. It is also possible to filter on jobs in a specific subsystem.

00028 - IFS Search The remote search is now available from the explorer context menu. Also, it enables IFS search by adding two flavors of grep as a search engine. The old-style QSH grep when the open-source tooling has not been installed or the new QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/grep. For more information about the new search capabilities, see the Remote Search and the Remote Search Result chapters.

  • The filter icon will open the filter management dialog.
  • Filters can be imported and exported.

Other issues/enhancements resolved[edit]

00006 - Compile result points to source in QTEMP
The compile results view would show an error when an SQLRPG precompile fails and the event file entry pointed to a source in QTEMP. QTEMP locations are now mapped back to the original source.
E027 - Keep last selected text if nothing was selected before CTRL+F
If nothing is selected, the search value was empty after pressing CTRL+F. Instead of making it empty, the previous search value is retained.
00066 - Find dialog does not know about edit switch
If the find/replace panel is open and one switched to another source file, the find did not work on the new source file.
E026 - Edit library list from connection
The library list can now be changed on the fly.
00060 - MiWorkplace cannot handle unreliable connections
The UI could behave badly when the connection was dropped. This was changed. MiW will now silently resume the connection (if possible).
00023 - Source line modification date
Source change date in the source line was not preserved. This was fixed.
00028 - Remote Search does not search in IFS
MiWorkplace is now able to search the IFS with grep

Plugin developers can now react to events broadcasted by the preferences API

Now, you can press F1 anywhere in MiWorkplace to get context-sensitive help. Besides, the manual is now available using the Help menu.
E021 - Switch to platform debug
We are switching away from LogService logging to platform logging.
00050 - Dropped Connection opens an empty member
When the connection is wonky, the editor might open empty. This is unwanted. We now show an error page with instructions
00049 - MiWorkplace is not visually updated after an update
A mechanism is provided to refresh MiWorkplace automatically after updates were made.
00015 - Search and Remote Search randomly disappear.
The remote search menu would randomly disappear. This has been fixed.
00029 - MiWorkplace save file option not always available
Sometimes, with multiple editors open, the save icon would not be active when an editor became *dirty.

Fixed the appearance of the notification window
E010 - Remote search options
Remote search now fills in the selected object. Additionally, the search can be started from the context menu.

The search line highlight was dark over dark, and the highlight was not positioned correctly. This has been fixed.
