enableRDFCompile

This option was added in version 7.28.0

When set to true this option enables compilation of Rich Display File (RDF) sources to IBM i *FILE objects from within the Profound.js IDE.

This option requires IBM i connectivity. The option works when either:

  • The Profound.js IDE runs on IBM i.

  • The Profound.js IDE runs off-platform with a connection to IBM i via Profound.js Remote Connector.

DDS code is generated from the RDF JSON source, transferred to a temporary source member on IBM i, and compiled.

The option changes the Home section of the IDE’s ribbon to add a Compile button. The section appears like this by default:

Setting this option to true adds the Compile button (when an RDF source is open in the current tab):

Clicking the button shows a dialog where you can enter the desired file object name and library to compile into:
