You can configure the Folder Inclusion List parameter for a PowerCenter resource. To edit the parameter, select the resource in the Resources panel of the Load tab, click Edit Resource, and click the Parameters tab in the Edit Resource window.
Use the Folder Inclusion List parameter to specify folders of PowerCenter objects that you want to load into the Metadata Manager warehouse. You can load PowerCenter folders to limit the objects that Metadata Manager extracts. Load the folders that Metadata Manager users need to analyze. The PowerCenter resources load faster if they do not load all folders. You can configure up to 1,000 folders.
If you include a folder containing shortcuts to a source definition, target definition, reusable transformation, mapping, or mapplet, you must also include the folder containing the original object. Otherwise, data lineage might not display correctly.
By default, Metadata Manager excludes all PowerCenter folders. If you do not include any folder, Metadata Manager extracts PowerCenter metadata not associated with a PowerCenter folder, such as metadata for PowerCenter Integration Services.
If you change the folders for Metadata Manager to extract and remove previously loaded folders, Metadata Manager does not delete any metadata object from the Metadata Manager warehouse. To delete metadata objects in the Metadata Manager warehouse that no longer exist in the PowerCenter repository, purge the metadata for the resource. You can then load the folders that you want in the Metadata Manager warehouse.
