Connection

Multiple connections can be defined and some settings are specific to a connection and can be saved for the connection and later reloaded.

Read only mode

When checked, you can not change any content on the server, run any actions on the server or open any terminal. You can only browse the content of the server, and members and streamfiles will always be opened in readonly mode.

Note

This setting can be controlled by the IBM i system administrator in the system settings.

Danger

This setting can only protect against changes from Code for IBM i. It will not protect against changes from any other interface or application.

Configuration of IBM i object security on the server is advised!

Current library

The library which will be set as the current library during compilation.

You can change the current library with the ‘Change Current Library’ command in the Command Palette (F1).

Home Directory

Home directory for user. This directory is also the root for the IFS browser.

Temporary library

Temporary library. Stores temporary objects used by Code for i. Will be created automatically if it does not exist. Cannot be QTEMP. Default value is ILEDITOR.

Note

If your IBM i runs replication software, there is no need to replicate the temporary library. Your sysadmin may add it to the list of objects to be ignored.

Temporary IFS directory

Temporary IFS directory. Stores temporary IFS files used by Code for i. Will be created automatically if it does not exist. Must be in root or QOpenSys filesystem. Default value is /tmp.

Note

If your IBM i runs replication software, there is no need to replicate the temporary directory. Your sysadmin may add it to the list of path to be ignored.

It is safe to have files created by Code for i automatically deleted during maintenance or IPL.

Enable source dates

When checked, source dates will be retained.

Source Dates in Gutter

When checked, source dates will be displayed in the gutter.
