Filter definitions

A filter is a BMC AMI Log Master object. You can name, secure, and maintain filters as you do work IDs.

You define filters to restrict the selection of log records within the source and range of a time frame. Use filters to select records by:

• Unit of recovery (select by plans, jobs, users, and so on)
• Specific database object
• Specific column data

BMC AMI Log Master supports the following types of filters:

• Filters created and saved as part of a log scan step (under a work ID)

  To create a filter in association with a time frame, and save it under a specified work ID, select an option from 0 through 7 in the Actions category on the Main Menu. Filters created in this manner are a part of a log scan step. When filters are saved as part of a log scan step, the filter name and security defaults to the name and security of the work ID that contains it.

  When you define a log scan step with multiple filters, you can specify a filter relational operator to determine whether the filters are joined by the AND or the OR relational operand.
