MPFFILTR parameters

The MPFFILTR parameter allows you specify how MainView AutoOPERATOR handles WTOs that have the MPF AUTO and SUP keywords associated with them.

The syntax for MPFFILTR parameter is

MPFFILTR=(AUTO=YES|NO|token,SUP=YES|NO)

The AUTO and SUP keywords always must be used together on the MPFFILTR statement. You cannot use one keyword without the other.

The possible combinations of the AUTO and SUP keywords are

`MPFFILTR=`	`(AUTO=NO,SUP=YES)`
	`(AUTO=NO,SUP=NO)`
	`(AUTO=YES,SUP=YES)`
	`(AUTO=YES,SUP=NO)`
	`(AUTO=*,SUP=NO)`
	`(AUTO=*,SUP=YES)`
	`(AUTO=NO,SUP=*)`
	`(AUTO=YES,SUP=*)`
	`(AUTO=TOKEN,SUP=YES)`
	`(AUTO=TOKEN,SUP=NO)`
	`(AUTO=TOKEN,SUP=*)`

You can select up to four of the possible combinations. Once you use any of the combinations, MainView AutoOPERATOR checks all WTOs for a match between the WTO’s settings and the MPFFILTR setting.

If the WTO’s setting matches the MPFFILTR setting, the WTO is eligible for automation by MainView AutoOPERATOR. The following examples describe some of the possible MPFFILTR settings.

Example

If the MPFFILTR parameter is set

MPFFILTR=(AUTO=NO,SUP=NO)

only WTOs that have both AUTO and SUP set to NO are eligible for MainView AutoOPERATOR automation. MainView AutoOPERATOR ignores all other messages that have different AUTO and SUP settings; they are not eligible for MainView AutoOPERATOR automation.

Example

If the MPFFILTR parameter is set

MPFFILTR=(AUTO=NO,SUP=YES)

only WTOs that have these AUTO and SUP settings are eligible for automation by MainView AutoOPERATOR. MainView AutoOPERATOR ignores all other messages that have different AUTO and SUP settings; they are not eligible for MainView AutoOPERATOR automation.

Example

Iif the MPFFILTR parameter is set

MPFFILTR=(AUTO=BOOLE,SUP=NO)

only WTOs with an AUTO setting of BOOLE and a SUP setting of NO are eligible for automation by MainView AutoOPERATOR.

Example

If you want all WTOs that have a MPF token setting of BOOLE and you do not want to check the SUP setting, use

mpffiltr=(AUTO=BOOLE,SUP=*)

All WTOs with an AUTO setting of BOOLE are eligible for automation by MainView AutoOPERATOR, regardless of its SUP setting. So, for example, if a WTO has any of the following settings, they are not eligible for automation:

AUTO=YES,SUP=NO

AUTO=NO,SUP=NO

AUTO=YES,SUP=YES

AUTO=NO,SUP=NO

AUTO=BO OL,SUP=NO

AUTO=NETVIEW,SUP=YES

Example

To use more than one set of AUTO and SUP settings

MPFFILTR=((AUTO=YES,SUP=YES),(AUTO=YES,SUP=NO))

Now all WTOs with an auto setting of YES are eligible for automation regardless of the setting. You get the same result when you set MPFFILTR to

mpffiltr=(AUTO=YES,SUP=*)

MainView AutoOPERATOR ignores all other WTOs that have different AUTO and SUP settings; they are not eligible for MainView AutoOPERATOR automation.
