Configuring filter pool references

You can share filter pools among many connections through the use of a filter pool reference. A filter pool reference is a mechanism that displays a filter pool from one connection in any other connection, so that when you make a change to the original filter pool, your change is reflected your filter pool reference.

Before you create a filter pool reference, ensure that you have already completed the following (see related tasks for more information):

You have defined more than one connection to the same server
You have defined more than one filter pool
You have enabled Show Filter Pools from the Remote Systems view toolbar

To use filter pools references:

In the Remote Systems view, expand the connection where you want to display a filter pool that exists in another connection.
Right-click on a file subsystem and select New > Filter Pool Reference > your profile > name of pool.
Look under that subsystem again and you will see the filter pool reference.

To delete a filter pool reference, right-click it and select Remove reference. You can also move your filter pools up and down with the right-click menu.
