View source for RSE filter

{{AN}} are a way to group objects together inside of the [[RSE]] software.  
*An example might be a group of source members needed to create a service program 
*or a list of database files you need to keep track of for testing.

Creating a filter is easy!  
*Under each [[Profiles, Connections, and Filters|RSE connection]] is an entry for [[iSeries Objects]]  
*Keep drilling down until you see a Work with... entry.  
*You can filter by library, object or member as well as everything in your library list and everything in the *[[USRLIBL]].  
*The way filters are displayed in the tree can be changed by using [[Profiles, Connections, and Filters|filter pool]]s.  
*Turn on the filter pool function by clicking the down-pointing triangle on the right in the top of the RSE view.  
*Alternately, click or Ctrl-F7 to set the focus in the RSE view and press Ctrl-F10.  Select the option called 'show filter pools.'

==Internals==
Filters are stored in files inside the workspace.  
*The filter files have a {{code|.xmi}} extension.  
*Let's assume the workspace is stored in {{code|c:\wdsc7}}.  
*The RSE filters are stored in the {{code|C:\wdsc7\RemoteSystemsConnections\filter_pool_name\Filters\ibm.files400\filter}} directory.  
*They are XML, and a filter for QCMDSRC looks like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <filters:SystemFilter xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
 mlns:filters="http:///filters.ecore" name="my_qcmdsrc" type="Member" relativeOrder="10"
 stringsCaseSensitive="false" release="630">
   <strings string="MYLIB/QCMDSRC(*) MBRTYPE(*)"/>
 </filters:SystemFilter>

Note that the case of the names of [[System i]] objects residing in the [[QSYS.LIB]] file system are in upper case.
