933.0. "Iconic map global entity instance wildcarding" by FLYWAY::BICHSEL () Thu Apr 18 1991 03:35

    The CL PM supports global entity instance wildcarding. (SHOW NODE
    * ALL STATUS)
    
    We would like to see the same functionality on the iconic PM for a 
    customer developed entity. Will that ever be possible?

933.1pass it or process it?TOOK::CALLANDERThu Apr 18 1991 15:208
Are you asking to have the map pass the wildcard down, or to process
the wildcard like the FCL does. The FCL expands the wildcard by going
out and quering the registry and then making one request per entity.

The map supports something similar by selecting multiple entities of the
same class and then selecting an operation. This will cause the operation
to be performed on each.

Re 933.1

The map supports selecting multiple entities of the same class and then 
selecting an operation.  Currently, one Management Window is created and
the operation is performed on the first entity in the list.  The user may
have the operation performed on any of the other entities by using the
Navigation Menu and selecting Next, Previous, or List.

At some future time, we would like to have the Management Window be able
to display values for multiple entities of the same entity class in one
window - more like a matrix, ie

		Attrib1  Attrib2  Attrib3  Attrib4  ...  Attribn

Entity1
Entity2
Entity3
  .
  .
Entityn

Hope this helps,
