You use the Data Set 2 Filter sub
tab on the Comparison Rule tab in the Comparison
Rules application to create a Data Set 2 filter
for a comparison rule.
Before you begin
These instructions are based on the assumption that you have
selected a comparison rule or that you have created a rule in the
Comparison Rules application and are positioned on the
Comparison
Rule tab. You must create or select a comparison rule
before you can perform these steps.
About this task
A
Data Set 2 filter is composed of
one or more filter clauses that specify a subset of
Data
Set 2 objects to reconcile against
Data Set
1 objects when you use a comparison rule. Each clause
identifies an object (and in some cases an attribute) in
Data
Set 2 to evaluate when the system processes a comparison
rule.
Procedure
- On the Comparison Rule tab in the
Comparison Rules application, select the Data Set 2 Filter sub
tab.
- To add a Data Set 2 filter clause,
in the Data Set 2 Filter Clauses table window,
click New Row. The application generates
a sequence number for each new row created. By default, the application
creates sequence numbers in increments of 10 in ascending order. You
can modify the numbers as needed or add new clauses with sequence
numbers that fall between already-existing numbers. Each sequence
number must be unique. When you save the record, the application sorts
the clauses in ascending numeric order.
- Optional: If you are creating multiple clauses,
in the (... field (open parenthesis), enter
an open parenthesis.
- In the Data Set 2 Object field,
click Select Value and select a Data
Set 2 object.
- If you selected a specification (such as ASSETSPEC) for
the Data Set 2 Object field, in the Data
Set 2 Class Structure field, click Select Value and
select a class structure. The selected class structure
populates the Data Set 2 Class Structure field.
The classification for the selected class structure is displayed in
the Data Set 2 Classification field. A description
is displayed in the Data Set 2 Class Structure Description field.
- Optional: In the Data Set 2 Attribute field,
click Select Value and select an attribute. The value selected populates the Data Set 2
Attribute field. The title of the attribute is displayed
in the Data Set 2 Attribute Title field.
- In the Operator field, click Select
Value and select an operator for the filter clause.
- In the Value field, enter a value
for the Data Set 2 attribute. If
you selected NOTEMPTY or NOTNULL as an operator, the Value field
is read-only.
- Optional: In the ...) field (close parenthesis), enter
a close parenthesis.
- Optional: If you are creating multiple clauses,
in the Sequence Operator field, click Select
Value and select the appropriate sequence operator.
- Optional: Repeat steps 2 through 10 to create
additional Data Set 2 filter clauses.
What to do next
When you have entered all
Data Set 2 filter
clauses, you can create additional components of the comparison rule
by selecting another sub tab in the application. You must add either
an attributes equality or matches found definition before you can
save the comparison rule. When you complete all components of the
comparison rule, save the comparison rule.
