Handle Remove Configuration

Introduction​

Configure handle-remove.map to remove handles from data processing. This will ensure that unnecessary handles do not waste processing time, allowing for faster data processing.

warning

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT Core Server.

Configuring handle-remove.map​

  1. Open handle-remove.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify handle name(s) with the following syntax:

    Mapping Syntax
    MAP: handle_remove  
    <HandleName1>
    <HandleName2>
    <HandleNameN>

    The handle_remove must not be changed.

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimizing Rules to Speed Up Rename or Mapping page.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'Application' and 'application', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: handle_remove   
    Firefox
    Notepad
    Calculator

    This example removes Firefox, Notepad, and Calculator from the data processing.

    You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

  3. Save the changes.

This mapping may affect the following data types:
