How GDIF Matches Requests with Exempt List Statements

When a task issues a request, GDIF compares the QNAME/RNAME string on the request with the string on the first statement in the reordered list. If these values match, then GDIF selects the statement and ignores other statements that contain QNAME/RNAME strings. If they do not match, GDIF looks at the next statement and performs the same comparison. If GDIF cannot find a matching LOCAL or GLOBAL statement, it selects the DEFAULT statement.

GDIF also performs a job name comparison to select a statement that tells GDIF how to handle requests issued by that job. Based on the statements it selects, GDIF then determines whether to propagate the request. If you specify GLOBAL through a DEFAULT statement, a GLOBAL statement, or both for both the resource and the issuing job, then GDIF propagates the request. Otherwise, GDIF does not propagate the request.
