Re: Organisation of filters, pools, etc

David,

I wound up using the "Navigator" view to work with my profiles...  Navigator is 
found in the Basic view group on the Show View panel.

Once you have the Navigator view open, click on the triangle menu, and select 
Filters, then UNcheck the RemoteSystemsConnections entry.

Now you should be able to drill into the RSE connections folder, which contains 
the profiles, which contains your connections, filter pools, compile commands, 
user actions, and so forth.  

I find the navigator view much easier to find missing pieces in my profile 
configurations....

hth,
Eric

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Organisation of filters, pools, etc


When I twice messed up my workspace, I salvaged my work thanks to Don
Yantzi's information.

I created a new workspace and copied the profiles from the broken
workspaces.

The result is, I now have 4 profiles in my workspace : Team, MyWorkstation,
MyName and NewProfile.

Now, this is what happens when I create a new connection :
If  I choose the profile MyWorkstation or MyName, the new connection shows
up with a filter pool already attached called "filterpool connection". This
filter pool is shareable between different connections. Any filters in the
pool are thus also shared. If the filter uses *CURLIB, then each connection
using the pool can filter the objects it needs without having to change
anything. I just need to state the library of the programme to call when the
connection becomes active.

My problem is understanding this "shared" pool. I am translating from the
french version : when I click right to create a pool, underneath "filter
pool" is "reference of filter pools" which then points to the profile, then
the pools of that profile. That's the bit I'm not sure of.

I must say that I prefer multiple connections to avoid cluttering RSE. I
have about 10, so if I wanted it would be like having 10 green screen
sessions open together.
I like to open each connection in a new window, and do ALT + tab to go from
say, viewing a source in production to editing another source in my
developement library.

Also interesting to avoid cluttering is to click right on the connection and
choose aller dans ( go in ? ).

Thanks for all the input and keep it coming.
