Re: Filters (Was: websphere udate for 6.0.0.1)

Jeff;

I change my filter to position to the prefix characters of the source I'm 
looking for by using the wildcard *  for example act*

The filters are quick and easy to change, and the result is usually very 
fast.

Dave,

I've had many the same issue with WDSC.  I work over a VPN and I HATE to 
wait for the entire filter to load.  One thing that was nice in PDM was 
that you could position to a specific member, and get to it quickly. Even 
if you didn't know the entire name of the member - you could at-lease get 
started and then look from there.  With WDSC - the Shift-ctrl-A works 
fine, but only if you know the lib/file and member name. 

I wish that WDSC had an setting for "fast loading of lists..." that would 
show the first 10-15, or so of a filter list, then fill in the rest while 
I was looking at the top of the list.

Greg,

I am slowly setting up a set of permanent filters that I can use.  The 
issue 
is our production source.  We have so many members in it, QRPGLESRC 
especially, that I have to subset in order for it to be useful (and to 
avoid 
locking WDSC up for a long time).  I don't know the count, but it's many 
thousands.  Every so often I make a filter that's too all-encompassing and 


kick myself while I wait for it.  The pitfalls of a large shop, I guess. I 


already have sixteen permanent filters and 5 project ones, and I've only 
begun.

Dave,

Are you creating a new filter every time you want to open a member ?
I just have a few filters set up, one for all the members in each source
file we work with, and I always have the members I need right there for
the clicking.  If new members have been added, I just right click and
refresh the filter to display the new members.

One of the big pluses for me with WDSC is how much *faster* I can get to
the members I need and open them than I could in SEU, especially when I
need to work with several at the same time.

Also, right clicking a filter and selecting "show in table view" creates
a handy reference where you can see the text descriptions of your
members (and even sort on the descriptions...which you can't do in PDM).
Unfortunately, only one filter can be displayed in the table view at a
time, but you can switch back and forth easily between them using "work
with" from the black triangle/arrow thing on the right.
