How to qualify displays in the Rule Processor applications
Throughout the panels in the Rule Processor applications, you will see column headings that are underlined; for example, in the Event Activity Statistics panel:
COMMAND ===> TGT ===> SYSA
Activated at: YY-MMM-DD 10:06:24 Total Events: 52 DATE --- DD/MM/YY
Rule Set to be Updated ===> AAORUL00 Sort Criterion: NONE TIME --- 10:11:47
Line CMDS - (S)elect
LC Count Handled Type Text-ID/Description Unique - 510
____ ____________________
The underlined areas under Type and Text-ID/Description are input masking fields where you can enter a text string that will qualify (or mask) the display to show specific information.
These input areas appear in many of the Rule Processor panels. For example, in the Event Activity Statistics panel, to see all the events with a type of CMD, enter the characters CMD in the field under Type:
CMD
---- ----------------
and press Enter. The display will show only those events with a Type of CMD. Use this technique to mask any display of data in any of the Rule Processor panels where the column headings have input areas.
In the input areas, you can also use the wildcard characters asterisk (*) or plus sign (+). Refer to Using-pattern-matching-on-Selection-Criteria-panels for more information about how to use wildcard characters.
