Re: How to set up an efficient filter structure (was:Copingfrom one system to another using RSE)

When I install for our developers, I always create an initial filter (to demonstrate the filter wizard) like so:

iSeries Objects > Work with objects
Library ----- TESTnnn (developer's test library)
Object ------ * (All objects)
Object Type - *FILE
Object Atr -- PF-SRC

When opened, the developer sees a list of ALL the source PF files in their test library, which they can drill into to see members.

With member filters, you have no way to define the file target for the paste operation. Since members may be selected across many files/libraries, you cannot use a member filter as the target of a member paste.

Got it! Thanks, Dave. Interesting you can't do the same sort of thing over
the member...

I created another filter to access the source file itself, before I was just
"looking at" the members. So this has me questioning how I set up my
filters. How you guys set up your filter structure? Thinking about, the
possibilities are endless, and I'm sure some of you have found a well
organized simple solution. I'm afraid my mind set is still in PDM mode.
Any suggestions?

Tim,

You have to paste to the source FILE, not the member. If the source file
you're copying to has a member with the same name, you'll get a prompt to
either overwrite the existing member or make the copy with a new name.

For example, if I want to copy OMPCON/QRPGLESRC member SHR025 from MOHAWK1
to SHAWDA/QRPGLESRC member SHR025 on MOHAWK5, I select the member SHR025 on
MOHAWK1, Copy, select the source file SHAWDA/QRPGLESRC on MOHAWK5, Paste,
and then select Overwrite when the prompt appears. Okay?
