ALTER SYNCFILESET
while exclude-file entry: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA*
or /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA/
excludes directory: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA/
Note that some performance degradation could occur if an exclude file
containing a long list of files is shared by multiple syncfilesets.
EXCLUDEP[URGE] excludep-file | NO EXCLUDEP[URGE]
instructs AutoSYNC to exclude the files listed in the excludep-file from being
purged on the destination, if the files do not exist on the source.
EXCLUDEPURGE only applies when PURGE or SUBVOLPUREGE are also
specified. Otherwise, EXCLUDEPURGE is ignored.
excludep-file
an edit file that contains the names of the files, subvolumes or disk
volumes in the destination syncfileset that are excluded from being purged.
excludep-file resides on the destination system and can be shared among
syncfilesets.
When starting a new synchronization ASYSYNC rereads excludep-
file and if it has changed, updates the excludepurge list accordingly.
Each entry must be on a separate line. If a line starts either with the word
"COMMENT", or the characters "--", the line is treated as a comment and is
ignored.
Note that exclusion applies only to destination files; it does not apply to files on
the source. Consequently, if a system name is specified, it must be the name
of the destination system.
Guardian file sets
:
The exclude file supports all legal disk file patterns.
OSS file sets:
Entries in the exclude-file can specify a pattern but the file and directory
names must be fully qualified with absolute pathnames.
Note the following case for the exclusion of a directory:
exclude-file entry: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA (without last "/")
does not exclude directory: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA/
while exclude-file entry: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA*
or /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA/
excludes directory: /home/group/user/destdir/A/KA/
