Displaying the List of Available Filters

Control-M is supplied with several predefined filters, including a filter called DEFAULT. In addition to any filters you define, the INCONTROL administrator can predefine filters and place them in the General profile.

Site-defined defaults determine whether the last filter used, or the DEFAULT filter, will be activated upon reentry to the Active Environment screen.

If you are unsure of a filter name, you can display the list of available filters in the Display Filters window. The display includes all globally available filters as well as filters that you have defined.

You can then select a filter from the Display Filters window for activation or editing.

1. Enter the command SHOW ? in the COMMAND field. The Display Filters window is opened, displaying the list of available filters.

   The Display Filters window displays the following information:

   Field	Description
   NAME	Name of the filter as it appears in the General or User profile.
   DESCRIPTION	Description of the filter (if provided).

   Note: Control-M supplied filters do not display descriptions.

   You can select a filter from the list for activation or editing by specifying the appropriate option in the O (option) field to the left of the filter name: Valid options are

   Option	Description
   S (SELECT)	Activate the filter. The display of jobs in the Active Environment screen is filtered according to the filter criteria.
   E (EDIT)	Display the filter's filtering criteria in the Show Screen Filter window to enable editing of the filter.

2. Enter S in the OPTION field by filter IDGS to activate filter IDGS. The window is closed, but the Active Environment screen display has not changed, because you are at the bottom of the display.
3. Use the PFKeys to scroll to the top of the screen. The Active Environment screen display conforms to the criteria of filter IDGS.

   Note: To deactivate all filters, that is, to display the full Active Environment screen without any filter showing, you can enter the command SHOW nonfilter EDIT, where nonfilter is NOT the name of an existing filter. Delete the name from the Filter field, and press Enter.
