From here, you can proceed to any of the following procedures:
•“Inserting topology object instances” on page 477
•“Filtering through topology type properties” on page 477
Inserting topology object instances
When you specify a topology type, you can select an object instance of that type and
insert it into the scoping query using the Scoping Query Editor dialog box.
To insert a topology object into the scoping query:
Note This procedure continues from “Restricting the scope to topology objects” on page 476.
1
In the Scoping Query Editor dialog box, ensure that the Instances tab is open.
2
Select a topology object instance.
In the Topology Instances box, select the object instance.
3
In the display area, in the box immediately below the Topology Type and
Property boxes, place the cursor where you want to insert the new segment of the
scoping query.
If that box is empty, a complete scoping query (including the topology type you
selected) will be inserted into it.
4
In the Scoping Query Editor dialog box, click Insert Query.
The Scoping Query Editor dialog box closes and the scoping query (or scoping
query segment) appears in the box immediately below the Topology Type and
Property boxes.
5
Validate the scope by clicking the Validate Scope button ( ) on the right.
If the scope is valid, a confirmation message appears above the Topology Type
box while the name of the newly-edited expression appears at the bottom with the
topology type instance referenced with its
uniqueID property.
Filtering through topology type properties
When you specify a topology type, you can select an object instance of that type using
the type’s property values as a filter and insert the instances whose properties match the
filter into the scoping query using the Scoping Query Editor dialog box.
