Configuring filter pool references

About this task

You can share filter pools among many connections through the use of a filter pool reference. A filter pool reference is a mechanism that displays a filter pool from one connection in any other connection, so that when you make a change to the original filter pool, your change is reflected in the filter pool reference.

Before you create a filter pool reference, ensure that you have already completed the following (see related tasks for more information):
  • You have defined more than one connection to the same remote server
  • You have defined more than one filter pool
  • You have enabled Show Filter Pools from the Remote Systems view toolbar

To use filter pools references:

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Systems view, expand the connection where you want to display a filter pool that exists in another connection.
  2. Right-click IFS Files (or Files for Linux and AIX) and select New > Filter Pool Reference > your profile > name of pool.
  3. Look under IFS Files again and you will see the filter pool reference.

Results

To delete a filter pool reference, right-click it and select Remove reference. You can also move your filter pools up and down with the pop-up menu.
