Re: Organisation of filters, pools, etc

Hi Rick,

I like your system.  I'm interested to know - do you have any specific 
problems with it?  You said you had been doing it all wrong, but I would 
say that there isn't really a right or wrong way to do it, just whatever 
works anyone's particular case.  That said, I'll explain how I use filter 
pools.  It sounds to me like you have a different development process than 
we do here, so this may not help you specifically, but with luck it will 
give you some ideas that you can apply to your situation.

I generally only use one connection, as I mostly do development in one 
development library, and don't have need for different library lists very 
often.  However, this tended to make each filter rather cluttered.  The 
solution I came up with was to create one filter pool for each application 
group that I work on regularly.  Our naming convention includes a 
two-letter code for application type.  DS for dispatch, FL for fuel and 
mileage tracking, VM for vehicle maintenance, etc.  Then, within each 
filter pool, I have a filter for each source type (RPG, Display, PF and 
LF, etc.).  Let me know if you want more detail than that.

When I click right +  new on iseries objects, under filter
pool is "filter pool reference". If I choose this, the menu
proposes a list of profiles. What exactly is this filter pool
reference?

From what I understand, each filter pool is an object independent of the 

connection, so you can choose which filter pools appear on a 
per-connection basis.  I think the default is for each filter pool to 
appear in all new connections.  Does that help at all?

HTH,
Adam

Grrr.
