Exclusion criteria

You can exclude objects and parts from compression based on location, name, or a combination of the two. Locations are paths relative to the namespace identification plus any protocol-specific identifiers, such as rest for the HTTP protocol or data for the CIFS protocol.

For object names, you can use patterns. The wildcard character for pattern matching is the asterisk (*), which matches any number of characters of any type, including none.

The format for criteria in the exclude list is:

[/directory-path/]object-name-pattern

The initial forward slash (/) is required with a directory path.

Here are some examples:

Either of these excludes all objects and parts in the corporate/mktg/graphics directory, as well as all objects and parts in all subdirectories of that directory, recursively:

/corporate/mktg/graphics/*

/corporate/mktg/graphics/*.*

This excludes all objects and parts with names ending in .jpg:

*.jpg

This excludes all objects and parts that have names ending in .ppt and that are in the /corporate/hr/benefits directory or any of its subdirectories, recursively:

/corporate/hr/benefits/*.ppt

This excludes all objects and parts that have names matching 21*_*.* (for example, 2198_John_Doe.doc) and that are in the corporate/hr/employees directory or any of its subdirectories, recursively:

/corporate/hr/employees/21*_*.*
