Re: Fw: Filters -- WDSCI-L

Phil,

Going through my past emails to find help, I tried to find the presentation you mentioned below. I found the web site, and the "Training and Certification" link, but then I got stuck. I looked for "Self Study" and did not see it. I clicked on the "Self Help" link but did not find the "Eclipse Tooling for RPG and COBOL Tools" presentation.

Am I blind? Has it moved or been removed since then? Looking for how to make myself productive in this new environment. Just doing iSeries COBOL, DDS, SQL, & CL Development.

Frustrated RANT..

All of what I do ends up as green screen applications (so far). Right now I'm trying to understand where the library list is kept, and the best way to compile source (DDS at the moment) from a project I have downloaded to my laptop. I have not had time to research all the emails I have on my machine from this list, nor have I been able to search the archives. Things are too hectic, and I don't have the spare time. The compile fails because the library I am working in does not appear in the library list for the project I have created. When I add it, it does not change the list (which I do understand - the server or daemon sets the library list on startup), but I can't seem to get the library list to stick. How do I change the library list the daemon uses when compiling? I know this has been asked before, and answered. It sure would be nice to be able to adjust the list on the fly, like you can with code and a STRCODE server. I also realize that the STRCODE server is an interactive server which makes it easier to change the library list.

The frustration level is high because the work load is more than enough for 3 people, the tool is not intuitive (for me), and if I don't force myself to use the new tool, I won't EVER get to use the new tools. The tool is not (for me) intuitive enough to just use, and I don't have time to spend researching. I need a straight forward, easy to understand, well written, step by step tutorial that will lead me by the hand for the things I need to do. Write, verify, compile, deploy (promote to production) files (physical, logical, display, printer), programs (COBOL, CLLE, ?RPG?), data areas, data queues, and other objects. I could really use the option of putting the source on my PC (which I have figured out in the projects) and push the source to the iSeries (which I can do), but then compile becomes an issue.

END RANT...

Thanks for letting me vent. Now, where is that presentation??

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.

How do I specify the filters by server instead of all filters showing for
all servers? I don't want to see the filters for server 3 if I am working
on
server 1. Is this possible?
