Filters defined in View are not displaying correctly in 12.1 Web Viewer when logical view is selected - Filter within Logical View

Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

We have a report where filters is defined to pull only data with value of 72 in position 21. When we pull this up in mainframe View it displays correctly, but when we pull up the same filter in a logical view from Web Viewer, it displays the first page of the report. We need Web Viewer to act the same as the mainframe View.

Environment

12.1 Web Viewer

Cause

12.1 Web Viewer supports the vast majority of View functionality. At the same time, 12.1 Web Viewer provides a subset of that View functionality. One thing excluded from that subset is filtering within a logical view. 

Resolution

Web Viewer 14 supports filtering within a logical view, but Web Viewer 12.1 does not. The 12.1 Web Viewer application is incapable of honoring a filter that's inside of a View logical view.
