Recreate all table filters in the z/OSMF user interface
Description
To display a subset of the items in a table in the IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) user interface, you must define filter rules that show only the items in which you are interested. Before z/OS V2R2, the filter rules you set were saved and reapplied for subsequent views of the table. Starting with z/OS V2R2, z/OSMF provides a modern, intuitive interface that is consistent with other IBM products. The enhanced user interface does not support the filter rules that were preserved in previous z/OSMF releases; therefore, when you display a table in z/OSMF V2R2, you might see more data or different data than you are accustom to seeing. To show only the items in which you are interested, recreate the filter rules you set in previous releases of z/OSMF.

Steps to take
- Log into the z/OSMF V2R2 user interface.
- Navigate to the tables for which you previously set filters.
- In the filter row in the table, click the Filter link. The Build Filter window is displayed.
- In the columns field (the first field), select the name of the column to be filtered, if needed. This field lists all the columns in the table that are visible and filterable, and it includes an Any Column option so that you can apply the filter rule to any column in the table.
- In the filter condition field (the second field), select the filter condition.
- In the value field, select or specify the value for which to filter.
All the fields that follow the filter condition field are value fields.
The number of value fields displayed depends on the type of data being
filtered and the filter condition. If a value field is enabled, a
value is required.
To filter a single column for multiple values, create a separate filter rule for each value.
- To create additional rules, click the add filter rule icon -- a plus (+) sign -- and specify the column, condition, and value for the new rule.
- To remove a rule, click the remove rule icon -- a minus (-) sign. If the remove rule icon is disabled, the rule cannot be removed.
- If you specified more than one filter rule, in the Match field,
indicate whether all the rules (All rules) or at least one
rule (Any rule) must be satisfied for an item to be displayed
in the table. By default, All rules is selected.
If the Match field is disabled (grayed out), you cannot change the relationship between the rules. In this case, all rules must be satisfied.
- If you want the filter criteria to be case sensitive for all the rules you specified, select Match case. Otherwise, case is ignored.
- Click Filter to filter the table.
