Issue/Introduction

Is there a batch utility to list CA View FILTERS and Filter Definition Specification records??

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : View

Resolution

The SARBCH utility provides a /LISTFILT function that will list off all of the FILTERS that you have defined to the database. 

Taking the /LISTFILT function a step further, you can execute the SARBCH JCL with a //CTLCARD DD statement coded in the JCL and SARBCH will write filter and Filter Definition Specification records into the //CTLCARD DD file. 

IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! 

Unfortunately, SARBCH does not have the ability to write "ALL" of the database records associated to FILTERS to the //CTLCARD file. Consequently, if you were to restore/load these Filter & Filter Definition Specification records to a database, without loading all of the associated records, they likely would not have the same functionality.

Additional Information

For more information and examples, see SARBCH Control Statements,  in the CA View documentation and find the LISTFILT, LISTVIEW and CTLCARDS DD information.........
