EXCLUDE Clauses
EXCLUDE Clauses
EXCLUDE clauses explicitly designate those subvolumes, files, and tables residing on a
particular primary system data volume that you do not want replicated. All other audited
files and tables on the particular volume are replicated.
In the following example, changes to all audited files and tables on $DATA01 are
replicated, except MMTEST10.CONC0826:
SET VOLUME CPUS 1:2
SET VOLUME IMAGEVOLUME $IMAGE
SET VOLUME PRIORITY 185
SET VOLUME PROCESS $MM01
SET VOLUME UPDATEVOLUME $DATA01
SET VOLUME EXCLUDE MMTEST10.CONC0826
ADD VOLUME $DATA01
Wildcard Character (*)
The asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard character in both subvolume and file names.
Within Subvolume Names
When used to designate subvolume names, the * must always be used as a suffix.
su*v.fname, *.fname, and *.*, for example, are not valid.
But DB*.filename is valid because the asterisk is used as a subvolume name suffix.
In this case, changes made to all audited files and tables on all subvolumes whose name
starts with DB on the protected data volume are replicated.
Within Filenames
When used by itself as a filename, the * designates all audited files and tables on the
specified subvolume. When used as a suffix, the * designates all audited files and tables
on the specified subvolume whose names start with the supplied pattern. If the * is not
used by itself to represent all files, it must be used as a suffix. Embedded wildcard
characters (such as
fil*nam) are not valid.
INCLUDE and EXCLUDE Processing
You can specify a maximum of 100 INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters for each
volume, in any combination.each ADD VOLUME commandWhen you specify both
INCLUDE and EXCLUDE clauses for a given volume, the clauses are processed
hierarchically, with the INCLUDE clauses processed first and EXCLUDE clauses
processed second.
Note. When you are adding multiple volumes using INCLUDE and EXCLUDE lists, you must
be sure to issue a RESET VOLUME command after each ADD VOLUME command or the
previous INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists will carry forward to the next volume being added.
