In the enhanced 3270 user interface, you can modify values
to filter which TCP/IP or VTAM® started
tasks will display data.
All of the workspaces that are accessible from the Enterprise
Network Workspace menu have fields in the upper right corner for TCP
STC (TCP/IP started task name) or VTAM (VTAM started
task name) or Agent (Agent started task name) and SMF ID (system
ID) that can be overwritten. When you open a workspace, the TCP STC
or VTAM or Agent and SMF ID
fields in enterprise-level workspaces both have initial values of
"*" to show data from all TCP/IP or VTAM or
Agent started tasks on all monitored systems, as shown in Figure 1:Figure 1. Editable filters with wildcards
You can modify the values for the TCP STC or VTAM and SMF ID fields and press Enter to
filter all views in the workspace so that the data that is retrieved
is for a specific TCP/IP STC or VTAM and
system ID. You can also use wildcards in the first and or last position
of both of the TCP STC or VTAM and
SMF ID fields in enterprise level workspaces, as shown in Figure 2, and press Enter to
retrieve data from multiple TCP/IP started tasks or VTAM systems. For example, you can specify IP0*
for all the systems whose ID begins with "IP0" or you can specify
"*P01" to find all the systems whose systems IDs end in "P01, such
as AP01, BP01, CP01, and so on.Figure 2. Filter
wildcards
Once the enterprise level TCP STC or VTAM or Agent and SMF ID filtering context is
set, the filter values persist as you navigate among enterprise-level
workspaces. The filtering context is also maintained when you navigate
to an enterprise-level workspace through the NETMENU, NETWORK, OSA,
TCPIP, TCPIPMENU, VTAMMENU, or VTAM commands.
The filtering context resets to display all resources in your enterprise
when you navigate to a different type of enterprise-level workspace.
For example, from TCP STC to VTAM.
When
a specific or wildcarded value is specified that does not match any
managed systems, a pop-up message indicates that an invalid combination
of TCPIP STC or VTAM and SMF
ID was specified and the previous values are restored.
Note: When
you navigate to an enterprise-level workspace, such as the Command
and Response Log workspace, using an action code (other than E) or
a Take Action command, the TCP STC or VTAM and
SMF ID filter context is set to the values of the selected row.
