How to Enter Filter Criteria on the SSM Resource Status Panel

Using the SSM Resource Status panel, you can view all resources that System State Manager is monitoring. Because the number of resources can be large, you can specify criteria to filter out some of them. This enables you to create a more manageable subset of resources that includes only the type of resources you want to see.

To set the filter criteria for the resource display, enter the FILTER primary command on the command line or place your cursor under the Filtered field and press Enter. The SSM Resource Filters entry panel is displayed and it contains the current filter criteria entered or retrieved from your ISPF profile.

The filter criteria that you specify can relate to any of the fields that appear on the SSM Resource Status panel. For example, if you want to view only those resources with values of UP in their Current State fields, specify UP in the Current State field. For non-fixed value fields, you can specify any character string as a filter and use the wildcard characters ? and * for wildcard matches. For example, to list all resources whose names are four-characters long and begin with the prefix STC, specify STC? as your filter. To list all resources whose names begin with the prefix STC, specify STC* as your filter.

For non-fixed value filters, you can enter multiple values in the input field if space permits.

The following operators may also be used:

For example, use \=ACTIVE to select resources where the value of the specified field is not equal to ACTIVE. You may specify a list of values for an IN or NOT IN select clause. Enclose the list inside of parentheses ( ) with an = or \= operator in front of the list. For example, use =(PASSIVE NOPREREQ) to select resources where the value of the specified field is equal to PASSIVE or NOPREREQ.

All of the criteria including the View mode must be true for a particular resource for that resource to appear on the display.
