Index Crawler: Scope Resource Filter: Access Path Patterns not working

56 Views

Hi,

I am using EP6 SP17, KM SP17.

I intend to exclude certain files anywhere in the path of repository /xyz from being indexed at all. All files are ending with .HTML_banner.

So I copied the standard crawler parameter and created a scope resource filter which I included to the new crawler parameter, which is configured in the index in question. The settings of the scope resource filter are:

Case Sensitive: Checked

Access Path Mode: Exclude

Access Path Patterns: I tried the following, neither one works correctly:

*.HTML_banner

/xyz/**banner

[Complete path and file name]

The result is always that the files, which I like to exclude, are still indexed.

Unfortunately, as usual there is no comprehensive documentation about the syntax of the parameter "Access Path Patterns" or maybe I missed it.

Did anyone ever succeed using a scope resource filter in a similar scenario?

TIA,

Uwe
