Searching resources


You can search for resources (data sets, full volumes, and UNIX files) on the upper right of any page by using the full name or a pattern. Partial matches are returned.

By default, the results are displayed in ascending name order. You can use each column for sorting. The sort icon is visible when clicking the column name. Additionally, the table contains column filters to allow further filtering of the results.

The Filters panel is displayed on the right with multiple options to filter out the relevant resources. 

It is possible to perform immediate actions on the displayed items. You can perform actions on an individual item by using the three-dot menu, or on multiple items by using the actions displayed at the top of the list of resources.

COMPLEX column

The value in this column indicates the resource complex, which you can use to distinguish between data sets or volumes with the same name in different complexes. You define the resource complex in the agent.yml file, with a default of the group-&SYSPLEX. You can associate an agent with one resource complex or associate several agents with the same resource complex. Agents sharing the same resource complex can all interact with the same resources. Actions such as backup, archive, recall, restore, and list are all dependent on the resource complex parameter.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
