PH26392: IDZ - REMOVE â ˜FILE RECOVEREDâ ™ MESSAGE AFTER USER CHOSES â ˜NOâ ™ TO SAVING THE PROGRAM WHILE CLOSING THE PROGRAM

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Developer for System Z (IDz) provides users with the option
  on whether they want to save or not save their last edits prior
  to closing the program.
  
  When users choses â ˜Noâ ™ to saving the program, the â ˜File
  Recoveredâ ™ message (with the last backup) will appears the
  next time user open the program.
  
  In normal circumstances, after the user choses â ˜Noâ ™, there
  should not be a â ˜File Recoveredâ ™ message.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If there is a dirty file when the user shuts down the workbench,
   the user is prompted to either save the file or discard the
  pending changes.  When the workbench is restarted, if the user
  has previously chosen to dischard the changes, the user will be
  prompted if they would like to recover from a backup (as is the
  workbench has been shut down unexpectedly.).
  

Problem conclusion

• In the case when the workbench is shut down, there are various
  scenarios we have to cover:  normal shutdown vs system shutdown.
    In a normal shutdown, if a file has unsaved changes, the
  backup file should be deleted.  In a system shutndown where
  Eclipse does not have a chance to go through the proper shut
  down sequence, a backup file is maintained, to ensure that the
  user does not lose any unsaved changes.  During these scenarios,
   we are unable to reliably determine if Eclipse is being shut
  down gracefully, or forcefully.  As a result, a backup file is
  left behind during a normal shutdown, and the user gets prompted
   to restore the file.
