Help for DVIPA Status Filters
This help page explains how to filter DVIPAs based on DVIPA IP address, system name, TCP/IP job name, and DVIPA origin. Optionally, you can choose to sort the resulting list using either logical AND or logical OR, and in either ascending or descending order. The default is to sort the resulting list in ascending order using logical AND.
Filter Name
The current filter settings are displayed. The filter names are as follows:
Filter Setting
The Filter Setting shows the data to be displayed on the DVIPA Status page. A blank or '*' in an input field indicates that no filtering of data is to be performed on that field. If an operator selects 'define' in the Origin field, any DVIPA that has an origin of define will be displayed.
Multiple input fields can be specified. To set the Origin filter setting select an option from the drop-down list. For all other filter settings, click into the input field next to the corresponding filter name. Be aware that the data you enter in an input field is case sensitive.
You can use a wildcard of '*' for the filter settings. For System Name and TCP/IP Job Name, trailing wildcard '*' is supported. For example, entering TCP* in the TCP/IP Job Name field will return all Job Names that begin with TCP while entering TCP in that field will only return all Job Names of TCP. For DVIPA IP Address, the trailing wildcard is not necessary. '146*' and '146' in the DVIPA IP address field will return all IP addresses that begin with 146.
Sort Order
To specify the sort order, select from the drop-down list next to the corresponding filter name. The sort order is used when the DVIPA Status page is displayed. If an operator selects '1' in the System Name field and '2' in the DVIPA IP Address field, the DVIPA display will first be sorted by the System Name field. If there are identical System Name entries, they will then be sorted by the DVIPA IP Address field. You must specify 1, 2, 3, and 4 to update the filters.
Logical Operator
Choose either the Sort using Logical OR radio button or the Sort Using Logical AND radio button to specify the logical operator to be used for the filtering criteria set in the filter settings input field. The 'OR' operator causes DVIPAs that match ANY of the specified criteria to be displayed. The 'AND' operator causes DVIPAs that match ALL of the specified criteria to be displayed.
Ascending/Descending Order
Choose either the Sort in Ascending Order radio button or the Sort in Descending Order radio button.
Update Filters
Click on the Update Filters button to change the current filter settings to the new settings entered on this page. If the filter settings are updated successfully then the DVIPA Status page will be displayed with the new filter settings in use and a message logged to the History Log. If the filter settings are not updated successfully then an error message is displayed and the filter settings will remain unchanged.
Reset Filters
Click on the Reset Filters button to set the filter options to the standard default settings. This will cause the DVIPA Status page to be displayed with no filtering.
Return/Cancel
Click on the Return/Cancel button to return to the previous DVIPA Status page. If you did not click on the Update Filters button then any changes you made to this page will not take effect.
