How can I sign in to two separate servers in the same session?

[JameT55]

When I bring up VS Code, and select the IBMi icon, I see two servers, one for production and one for test. I would like to open them both so that I can do a source file comparison. The problem is that when I open up one of the servers, the "SERVERS" screen goes away, so I can't open up the other server.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this one?

You start another instance of VS Code and connect to the other system here.

Don't know if source compare works across connections, though... @worksofliam ?

I have RDi and have been working on comparing that with VSCode for my team. In RDi, I can bring up the production source and compare it to test source. It works great there, maybe that's why it costs money!

Like @chrjorgensen said open a new window (Ctrl+Shift+N/Cmd+Shift+N) and open your second connection there.

Comparing source using the Compare with.. commands won't work across windows however. Best work around I've found (and I haven't looked long) was to copy my source in one window into the clipboard and use Compare Active File with Clipboard on the other window.

That is just crazy enough to work!!! Thanks!
