Objects

An EDL Object can be one of the following:

An object type:

COMPUTER       (selects all computers on the system)

A file pattern, always assumed to be a file:

"*.C"           (selects all files that match the pattern)

An object pattern:

USER "A*"       (selects users whose names begins with A)

Note: You must close the pattern within double quotes. For a description of legal EDL patterns, see Patterns in this chapter.

If you enter the name of an object type alone, CA SRM selects all instances of that object type. The object FILE selects all the files. The object COMPUTER selects all the computers. By qualifying the object you narrow the selection.

You can write the object so that the objects include a list of elements enclosed within square brackets and separated by commas, as shown below:

Objects	Examples
Every File on Computer List	To select every file on a list of computers, enter the following: FILE ["COMPUTER1#","COMPUTER2#","COMPUTER3#"]
Every File on Volume List	To select every file on a list of volumes, enter the following: FILE ["COMPUTER1VOL1#","COMPUTER2VOL2#"," COMPUTER3VOL3#"]
Every Volume on Computer List	To select every volume on a list of computers, enter the following: VOLUME ["COMPUTER1","COMPUTER2","COMPUTER3*"]
