Setting administrative console filters

Why and when to perform this task

Each table on a collection page in the administrative console displays a list of WebSphere Process Server data or resources. You can use a filter to specify exactly which resources or data to display in a particular column of the table. Filters can be set on a single column only.

Steps for this task

  1. From the buttons at the top of the table, click Filter the view.

    The filter dialog box opens above the top row of the table.

  2. Use the Filter drop-down menu to select the column you want to include in the filter.
  3. In the Search term(s) field, specify the filter criteria.

    The criteria is a string that must be found in the name of a table entry in order for it to be displayed. The string can contain the percent sign (%), asterisk (*), or question mark (?) symbols as wildcard characters. For example, on the Resource Adapters page, you can enter *JMS* as the filter criteria for the Name column to find any resource adapter whose name contains the string JMS.

    Prefix each of the following characters that appear as part of the string with a backslash (\) so that the regular expression engine performing the search correctly matches the search criteria: ( ) ^ * % { } \ + & .

    For example, if you want to search for all Java DataBase (JDBC) providers containing (XA) in the provider name, specify the following string in the Search term(s) field:
    *\(XA\)*
  4. Click Go.

    The table refreshes, and only those items in the selected column that meet the filter criteria are displayed.
