Build Identifier: M20080911-1700 I'm working on a code, that creates project for the resources in remote ssh system. Using EFS and RSE combination. I use the projectDescription.setLocationURI("the remote URI of the project") for creating the project at the remote machine. The main problem is as follows: * I have created the project with remote URI. * Due to DHCP my remote machine IP address is changed. * Now if I open the project, it doesn't open because the Remote Host as in the URI is not physically available. * I'm in no way can open/use the project again unless untill the remote machine IP is changed back to the previous one (which we cannot expect to happen). =>This makes the project totally unaccessible and unusable. This is a major issue.. and needs to be fixed in one or other way. My suggestion is: 1. We can provide a API and/or user interface to change the host name of the remote project. 2. Automatically finding the projects which may have lost the link to the host by change in host name or IP, during the project opening or workspace loading, and provide a prompt for changing/finding the host name or id of that project. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a project for a remote location (Remote URI). 2. Change the host name/IP address of the remote system. 3. Reopen the project now. -->It wont open unless the host name/ip of remote machine is restored 4. Try to locate API/User Interface to change the Host name or IP of the project that is the referring remote URI.
I'm guessing this is RSE, not IDE
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm guessing this is RSE, not IDE Hi, This is not specific to RSE, because, EFS provides a common way to adopt any URI say remote, web, SQL. EFS only creates project setLocationURI(), and there is no other way to alter the URI after creation. I'm saying here to provide a way to modify the Host means to provide a way to modify the URI. Make the File systems to provide a way or API/User Unterface to change the URI (or the Host or the IP). And hence RSE also need to provide the API/ User Interface by the compulsion made by the EFS. Thanks.
Martin, if this is a limitation of EFS then send it to Platform Resources. PW
