ConnectionCloseListener for HostConnections

In one of our Plugins we want to write a host dataset just the moment before the connection to the host is shut down.

There is a ConnectionClose Listener in the Eclipse RSE but this listener does not satisfy the requirements, because it works correct only if the user explicitly closes the connection. If the connection is closed during shutdown of the workspace a S0C4 is issued.

Please add an ConnectionClose Listener to the RDZ API that enables us to write to a dataset just befor the connection is closed.

    Per additional communication IBM this is being declined.

    I have tested that and it seems to be working (now?). So from my point of view the solution from Bill is working. Here is the part of the mails describing the solution.

    If that issue is still pending we might be able to advise on another way to address it. For example, if you use an ICommunicationsListener, you should be able to detect the following types of events:
    // Communications event types
    public static final int BEFORE_CONNECT = 1;
    public static final int AFTER_CONNECT = 2;
    public static final int BEFORE_DISCONNECT = 3;
    public static final int AFTER_DISCONNECT = 4;
    public static final int CONNECTION_ERROR = 5;

    I understand that there was some communication with IBM on this RFE recently and that you were going to check the ICommunicationsListener in IDz V15, has that been tested yet?

    This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame. Thanks.
