Exclusion Rules
Exclusion rules are used to specify a set of objects that are not to be included as part of the collected objects.
Metadata—The metadata for these excluded objects are still part of the package, and these objects are considered to be expected to exist in the target PLM system. Exclusion is post processing after inclusion is specified through flexible or static rules.
Name of baselines—The name of baselines can be specific, or it can be a rule to search and collect more than one baseline, using “*”.
If the recipe file does not specify an exclusion rule, then no exclusion occurs.
