Title
How to filter folders when running a file share migration -
Description
When copying a file share to SharePoint using Content Matrix Console - File Share Edition, you have the requirement to filter out some of the sub-folders within the tree. Within the job configuration, under the Filter Options, there is no option to filter out a folder.
-
Cause
The Content Matrix Console - File Share Edition does not currently have the option to filter on folders. It can only filter on files or custom properties.
-
Resolution
- In the Transformations tab of the job configuration window, select "Folders" from the list of Available Definitions.
- Select "Invoke PowerShell Script" from the "Add Transformer" drop-down on the right pane.
- In the configuration dialog, go to the Transform tab, select "Use Configured Script" and copy/paste the script below. Note: Rename "folder-to-exclude" to your specific folder name.
[xml]$folderXML = $dataObject.XML #FileLeafRef = Folder Name if($folderXML.Folder.FileLeafRef -like "*folder-to-exclude*") { $dataObject = $null }
