Re: Filter Pools

So this would be a member filter or a file filter?

I use filter pools all the time.  For example, I might have an application 
that might take up a dozen or so libraries.  So, I'll create a filter for 
each library and call it "LIBRARY-Source Files", and then set that one 
filter to limit to *FILE and PF-SRC for the file type.   Then I'll create 
a filter pool that might be titled "APPLICATION NAME" and put all of my 
"LIBRARY-Source Files" filters in that filter pool.  When I expand 
"APPLICATION NAME" I would see my dozen or so, "LIBRARY-Source Files", the 
I could expand the specific library that I need.  This seems to work for 
me, until I get to a source file that has - say a 1,000 or more members, 
then it takes WAY too long to expand even the QRPGSRC or what ever.  Then 
I have to have more filters, just for specific groups of member names.

[WDSCI-L] Filter Pools






Just installed WDSC V7 yesterday and saw the message when making new 
connections about filter pools.
It seems they have been there before but I haven't used them. 
We have three system i computers, really two but one has two partitions. 
On one of the partitions there are several applications that I work with. 
Each application has several libraries.

Will filter pools reduce the complexity of my filters or simply increase 
the frustration when I can't see the copybook from all of them for 
example.
I tried Help under V7 but couldn't seem to find anything relevant.
If someone can point me to help or have tips tht would be appreciated.

Thanks,
