On Tuesday, November 12, as part of a company wide initiative to bring all corporate websites under the OpenText brand, the Community will be down briefly around 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific as we transition to a new domain name. The community will be offline while we make the change and when it comes back online it will be located at community.opentext.com and the old domain will redirect to this new location. Thank you for your patience as we make this important change.
ControlPoint allows to exclude files when scanning sources. The graphical interface gives the possibility to exclude file extensions. What if I want to exclude a specific file.
The connector configuration file gives you more granularity in what you can exclude.
Open the connector configuration file (.cfg).
Go to the task section of the repository: e.g. [TaskMyRepository]
Add the PathCantHaveRegex parameter. In the following example, we exclude "thumb.db" files AND all pdf files.
PathCantHaveRegex0=.*thumb\.db
PathCantHaveRegex1=.*\.(pdf)
Note that you can have multiple parameters with the number at the end.
Also note that when you use these manual adds in the configuration file, you should not use anymore the field in the graphical interface as this will conflict.
