ALTER SYNCFILESET
BATCHID batchid | NO BATCHID
a batch identifier for the file set.
The batchid is an unsigned integer and can be specified as a number between
0 and 65535 or as two ASCII characters in quotes. The default batchid is 0.
All file sets that have the same batchid for a given user and destination system
are synchronized in sequence by a single ASYSYNC process.
To have more than one ASYSYNC process for the same destination system,
use different BATCHIDs.
EXCLUDE exclude-file | NO EXCLUDE
instructs AutoSYNC to exclude (or remove exclusion of) the files listed in
exclude-file from synchronization.
exclude-file
an edit file that contains names of the files, subvolumes or disk volumes in
the syncfileset that are to be excluded from the synchronization. An
exclude file can be shared among syncfilesets. When starting a new
synchronization ASYSYNC rereads the exclude list if the exclude file has
been updated.
Each entry must be on a separate line. If a line starts either with the word
"COMMENT" or double hyphens (--) the line will be treated as a comment
and will be ignored.
Note that exclusion applies only to source files; it does not apply to files on the
destination. Consequently:

If a system name is specified, it must be the name of the source (local)
system.

If the PURGE option is specified, to exclude files from being purged on the
destination, use the EXCLUDEPURGE option. Without EXCLUDEPURGE:

A file on the exclude list is purged on the destination (it is not excluded
from purging), if it does not exist on the source.

A file on the exclude list is not purged on the destination, if it exists on
the source (it is excluded from purging).
The exclude file supports all legal disk file patterns. Refer to the NonStop
documentation for legal disk file patterns.
