Generic Filtering of Data

You can add an asterisk (*) to some FUSINQ parameters to perform generic filtering. When generic filtering is performed, the platform server only checks the data before the asterisk. If the data matches, the request is considered as matching the filter criteria.

The following parameters supports generic filtering of data:

  • LOCALFILE
  • LOCALUSER
  • PROCESS
  • REMOTESYS (except that an IP address cannot contain an asterisk)
  • TRANSNUM
  • USERDATA

Fusion Filtering Rules

The following rules apply to data being filtered by the FUSINQ parameters:

  • If a parameter is not included, no filtering is done based on that parameter. This means that no requests are bypassed because of that parameter.
  • If a parameter fails any of the filters defined by the FUSINQ parameters, the request is bypassed. A request must pass all filters before it is reported by the FUSINQ command.
  • The platform server typically translates all data to uppercase before filtering is performed.
