How can I exclude symbolic link from load?
Hi,
I've a single project with files for many platform (osx, linux, windows). In this project there are some folders that contain symbolic links that are used when I launch a build on linux/osx. But if I try to load the workspace on windows I get the symbolic link creation error.
Is there a way to avoid loading of symbolic links? Perhaps using load rules? I've tried the exclude filter by extension but it seems not work.

I've a project with the following structure
-Project
- folder1
and I'd like to exclude folder3 from loading (which contains the symbolic links: I'd be more happy to exclude only these but I can exclude the entire folder).
I've tried the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!--Built from the sandbox "D:\WS\OldServer" and the workspace "Mobile_Workspace_Michele"--><!--Generated: 2014-10-20 19.04.01--><scm:sourceControlLoadRule xmlns:scm="http://com.ibm.team.scm" eclipseProjectOptions="import" version="1">
<parentLoadRule>
<component name="TestComponent"/>
<parentFolder repositoryPath="/"/>
<exclude>
<filter pattern="*folder3*"/>
</exclude>
</parentLoadRule>
</scm:sourceControlLoadRule>
but it does not work. I've also tried with filter name="folder" but it is the same.

The filter is not recursively applied to the children. You'll have to specify each folder. Also add <sandboxRelativePath includeRepositoryPath="true"/> so the item is loaded with the full path. I've tried but it seems to load only stuff under the folder1 project and not the parent Project itself... (for example, if I have another folder sibling of folder1 it will not be loaded) |

Your answer
Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

Load rules would be a good way to do this. The issue is your load rule doesn't work. If you can post the load rule, we may be able to see what's wrong with it.
