RE: How to handle connections/filters to multiple syste ms

Look in the archives, I just asked this question last week. 

"Mike, it can be done but there is a trick. You have to turn on Show Filter
Pools (use the pulldown in
the Remote Systems view toolbar, or go to Windows->Preferences and select
Remote Systems).
Once enabled, create a filter pool in your connection (right click on
iSeries Objects and select
New -> Filter Pool) and then create the filters you want in the pool (right
click on the pool). This
pool and all filters in it are only visible by this connection, unless you
do New -> Filter Pool Reference
to reference it in another connection.

You can subsequently turn off Show Filter Pools having done this, if you
desire. The New Filter
wizard will now prompt you on the second page for the filter pool to
contain your new filter. The
default pool IBM creates is automatically referenced by all connections,
that's why filters in it
show up in all connections.

There is a presentation on our website that might help with this. Go to
 www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wds400, and select Training and
Certification, then Self Study,
and finally the Eclipse Tooling for RPG and COBOL Tools presentation.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to handle connections/filters to multiple systems



RSE under WDSc 5.0

We have 5 various iSeries boxes. I can use the Profile given to me during
set-up and then create Connections to each of the boxes.  This is fine, but
when I create filters, the filter is created the same for each Connection.
Well, this does not really work in all cases because stuff could be in
different libraries/members on each of the different boxes.  So a filter I
set up could apply to one of the boxes, but does not apply to the others.

I can set up multiple Filter Pools, but they get 'added' to every
connection. I did find the "remove reference" option, but that applies to
only that level under the connection. If I remove the reference for the
filter pool under the objects for a connection, it still shows up under the
commands for that connection. I would then have to remove it from there
too.  Should I set up a different Profile each box? Are there any bad
points to doing this?

What are the best practices for setting up multiple iSeries in RSE???
