Performance

Use only local metadata for decorations
When this option is checked, the Eclipse IDE uses the information stored in the local metadata to determine the appropriate decorations for objects. It does not query the server explicitly.
When this option is not checked, Eclipse queries the server to determine the appropriate decorations. This can result in slower performance.

Other

Enable compatibility mode with pre-V6R2010 servers
When this option is checked, the member move and remove commands query the servers for its version. If the version is pre-V6R2010, the operation is performed immediately on both the workspace and the server. If the version is V6R2010 or later, the operation is performed in the local workspace immediately, and performed on the server during the next Checking in Design Data operation.
When this option is not selected, module structural changes, such as member remove and member move, are performing in the local workspace when the command is run, and performed on the server when during the next Checking in Design Data operation. (Default)
When resolving conflicts resulting from a populate -merge operation: reset all resolved conflicts each time the compare editor is reopened
When this option is selected, the compare window shows only unresolved conflicts.
When this option is not selected, the compare window shows all conflicts, including resolved conflicts, since the merge operation. (Default)
Enable combatility with caches and mirrors
When you use caches and mirrors with SUID, you must enable this option in order to properly support the compare commands within DSclipse. There are performance implications for enabling this option so you should enable it only for systems that take advantage of caches or mirrors.
