Data Set 2 Filter ClausesA Data Set 2 filter is a component of a comparison rule defined in the Comparison Rules (SP) application. You use the Data Set 2 Filter subtab on the Comparison Rule tab in the application to create filters for Data Set 2. On the Data Set 2 Filter subtab, you define filter clauses that specify a subset of Data Set 2 to reconcile against Data Set 1 when you use a comparison rule. Each clause identifies an object and/or attribute in Data Set 2 to evaluate when the system processes a comparison rule.
The following table describes the elements of a Data Set 2 filter clause:
|
Field |
Function |
Rules/Requirements |
|
Sequence |
Number that specifies the order in which to process the clause. |
Mandatory. Use a unique number for each clause. Use a number greater than 0. |
|
Open Parenthesis ( ... |
Marks the beginning of an expression. Parenthesis marks group expressions to control the order of operations when you use multiple clauses joined by a logical operator (AND or OR). |
Optional. However, for each open parenthesis, use a corresponding close parenthesis. |
|
Data Set 2 Object |
Specifies the target object in Data Set 2. |
Mandatory. Selected from a value list. Values displayed in the list depend on the data set that you select for Data Set 2. |
|
Data Set 2 Class Structure |
When you select a specification as the Data Set 2 object, this field identifies a specific class structure for reconciliation. |
Mandatory if you select a specification for the object. Selected from a value list. Values in the list are class structure identifiers for the top-level objects. |
|
Data Set 2 Class Structure Description |
Displays a description of the selected class structure. |
Read-only field. |
|
Data Set 2 Classification |
Displays the classification for the selected class structure. |
Read-only field. |
|
Data Set 2 Attribute |
Identifies the specific attribute of the object or class structure to use for the Data Set 2 filter. |
Optional. Selected from a value list. The object selected determines which values the system displays in the value list. |
|
Data Set 2 Attribute Title |
Displays the title of the attribute selected. |
Read-only field. |
|
Operator |
Identifies the operator for the attribute specification. |
Mandatory if you select an attribute. Otherwise the field is read-only. |
|
Value |
Specifies a value for the attribute selected. |
If you do not select an attribute, the field is read-only. If you select an attribute, the field is mandatory unless you select NOTEMPTY or NOTNULL as an operator. If you select NOTEMPTY or NOTNULL, the field is read-only. |
|
Close Parenthesis ... ) |
Marks the end of an expression. Parenthesis marks group expressions to control the order of operations when you use multiple clauses joined by a logical operator (AND or OR). |
Optional. However, for each close parenthesis, use a corresponding open parenthesis. |
|
Sequence Operator |
When more than one clause exists, this operator prescribes how the current clause relates to the next clause in the sequence. |
Required if the filter consists of more than one clause. Do not enter a value for the last row in the sequence (that is, the row with the highest sequence number). Selected from a value list that includes the following values:
