Example of rules for selecting source objects

When you define a source for an

application ingestion

task, you can define object selection rules to select the source objects that you want to load to the target. The following example demonstrates how you can use selection rules to select the required objects.

Example

A source has 1,000 objects with different prefixes. You want to select the objects that have the prefix "2021_SALES" and all objects with other prefixes except "2021_".

Define the following rules in the order in which they are listed:

Rule 1: Rule Action=Include
and Condition=*
includes all objects on the source. When only the asterisk (*) wildcard is specified, all objects on the source are selected.

Rule 2: Rule Action=Exclude
and Condition=2021_*
excludes the source objects that have names with the prefix "2021_".

Rule 3: Rule Action=Include
and Condition=2021_SALES*
includes the source objects that have names with the prefix "2021_SALES".

The following image shows the rules in the
