Object filters list a set of objects from your IBM® i server in the Remote Systems view.
Procedure
In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection and then expand Objects.
Expand Work with objects. (You can also
right-click Objects, or your filter pool, and select New > Object filter.)
Note: Expanding Work with objects corresponds
to the WRKOBJPDM command in PDM.
Browse, specify or select from the Library drop-down
list the library that contains your objects.
Enter a generic or specific object in the Object field,
or click Browse to select. The default is * (asterisk),
and you can use up to ten characters. You can, for example, enter t* to list
all objects with names starting with t.
To define object types, browse, specify, select from the drop-down
list, or click More Types to select from all known
object types.
To define object attributes, browse, specify, or select from the
drop-down list. Note that you can only enter a single object type and attribute
pair per filter, until you change a filter to add more filter strings.
Click Next.
Enter a name for your filter.
Note: You give your
filters a name because the Remote System Explorer saves them for future use,
in opposition to PDM, which does not save filters.
Select the Only create filter in this connection check
box if you want the filter to display only in your current connection. Otherwise,
it displays in all your connections.
Select the profile you want to use for this filter. Use an individually
created profile to keep your work private or select the Team profile to share
with others.
Click Next to see more text information
about the filter or click Finish.
Results
Your new Object filter now displays in the Remote Systems under Objects.
