How do I pass a filter on a discovery via the GUI?
For example, if I want to ONLY discover TAPE Devices.
We can predefined different discoveries with different filters.
For your example, please follow the following steps.
You will need to copy $MD#MDEV from your hlq.cce3exec to your hlq.TESTEXEC dataset.
You will need to rename it 'like' $MD#MDET (T for Tape)
Only 1 discover can point to 1 procedure - this is why we will make a copy of $MD#MDEV
Then you will need to ADD (pf4) a NEW Discovery Method and point to the new $MD#MDET
====
CSNMxx---------- CA CMDB Connector : Discovery Method Register ----------------
Command ===>

Procedure ................ $MD#MDET

Press F3 to Register or F12 to Cancel
Press PF3 - to register the new discovery
===============
Update the FILTER to YES on the TAPE Devices for the new discovery.
Command ===>
Discovery Method Name ... TAPEONLY
Procedure ............... $MD#MDET (the procedure you created earlier)
Description ............. tape only
Custom Filter Status .... ENABLED (Enabled or Disabled)
Filter Options
Discover DASD Devices ... NO (Yes or No)
DASD Volumes ... NO (Yes or No)
TAPE Devices ... YES (Yes or No) <<<========

Now when you issue a DISCOVER TAPEONLY - it will run the discovery with the filter for TAPE YES.
You will need to make a DISCOVERY and PROC and FILTER for each one you want.
