In the event that the connection to the host is lost, the current edit session can be maintained as long as the Rational® Developer for System z® File Manager client remains open and operable. All changes made since the last save request will remain on the client as long as it is kept open and may be saved to the host once a connection is regained. If the client is closed or becomes inoperable for any reason while a connection is not present, all changes created since the last save request will be lost.
