Re: Organisation of filters, pools, etc

Adam,

The only issue I have with multiple connections is that the filter names appear 
to be required to be unique across connections.  I'd like to use consistent 
names but it's not that critical.

As David does, I use a sign-on program to set the library list.  One thing I 
like about connections is that I can tweak the library list in addition to 
using the sign-on job.  We use unique project libraries for testing and that 
enables me to easily place the project library into the library list.

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.
