Content views

CARMA provides advanced filtering capabilities for RAMs, RAM Instances, and containers in CARMA enabled environments by allowing users to pass filter arguments to the RAM. Using filter/views can help expedite performing navigational functions by allowing the RAM to return a smaller set of content for a RAM or container. By default, a CARMA client will request all available resources in a selected RAM, RI, or container. To narrow the results, one or more filter/views may be specified to help sort the content. To set a filter/view, follow these steps:

  1. Select the RAM, RAM Instance, or container that you want to apply a filter/view to.
  2. Right-click on the object to display the context menu. Select New followed by New View to activate the New Filter/View wizard.
    Use the New View wizard to enter a string that will be used to filter the content of a selected RAM, Repository Instance, or container.
  3. Enter a string to be filtered and select Finish.

Identifing CARMA views

Once filter/views are specified in CARMA, they become visible to the user in the CARMA Repositories View. Filter/Views are displayed in two ways.

When only one filter/view is specified on a RAM, RAM Instance, or container, the filter string argument will be displayed directly after the object the filter/view was applied to in {} braces. The following image depicts a RAM that has only one filter/view applied to it:

A RAM is identified as having only one filter defined for it by the {*} notation next to it.

It is important to note that in this particular example, the "*" notation used to define the filter/view is a default that is specified within the RAM. If a different filter/view is specified such as "foo.123", and it is the only filter/view defined for that particular object, it will be displayed in the same manner depicted in the example. (i.e. {foo.123})

When multiple filter/views are defined for a single object, they are displayed like the following:

A RAM has multiple filters defined for it. Each filter is listed underneath the RAM in the order that they were created.

When multiple filter/views are defined, each individual filter/view will be displayed beneath the object it was defined for. This example depicts three filter/views that are defined on the RAM named "SKELETON RAM". To view the content created by each filter/view simply expand the filter/view by pressing the "+" next to it.

Unwanted filter/views can be removed by selecting them and deleting them via the keyboard, context menu, or menu bar.
