Exclude Records

To exclude certain user IDs, minidisks, account numbers, ACI security groups, or file spaces from processing, specify them in the Record Type and Value fields.

Fill in the Record Type and Value fields with entries that are identical to the entries specified in job template files. The following table describes the formats for these fields:

Record Type	Value
USErid	userid vaddr
ACCount	number
ACIgroup	name
FSPace	filepoolid:userid (for SFS and BFS file spaces)

Use pattern matching to specify the following entities:

File spaces with similar names (for a backup job)
Groups of minidisks with similar user IDs, account numbers, and ACI security group names (for backup and restore jobs)

FSPACE records identify both BFS and SFS file spaces. For example, if you specify SYS01:*, CA VM:Backup excludes all file spaces (both BFS and SFS) in the SYS01 file pool.
