How to resolve "The sync rules common projects list must be empty." in the tab for defining filter rules

Thilo Brause over 2 years ago

I want to use the Feature "Server filters" to filter out some of elements that could be synchronized.

However, in all of my connections, I am stuck with the message: "The sync rules common projects list must be empty."

What exactly has to be done to resolve this warning?

There is a list of common projects in the rules section, but there is no way to empty this list.

So what has to be done in my case to make server filter available?

Ok. It is possible to export the connection, delete the project mappings in the xml-file and reimport it to remove existing project mappings in the list common-projects. Than it is possible to add a server filter.

But why is there an easy to find button "Add project mapping" and no button "Delete project mapping" in the UI (see screenshot above)?

Or would it be possible to delete that project mapping in my example if certain conditions are met?

Hi Thilo,

We have batch utility scripts which can make this process easier for you. Please log an incident with support and we can set up a time to meet and review these with you.

Thanks,

Ed

Dear Ed,

are your referring to one of the standard batch scripts that come with MF Connect?

If yes, what is its name?

Best Regards,

Thilo

There are multiple utility scripts including

purgeDisabledProjects, purgeDisabedTypes, importXrefs, mergeConnections, etc, in the utilities folder.

Depending upon the problem you are trying to solve - retaining cross references - or discarding them,

the use of these scripts involves careful thought, as well as orchestration.

This is why Ed recommended opening an incident and working with us to go through the process with you, at least once.

If you'd rather go it alone, then I'd recommend a careful read of the online help

Batch utility scripts (microfocus.com)

Take care
