SYMPTOM
After upgrading to WAFS v4.0, filters that were defined for jobs are lost and files that were supposed to be filtered are now replicated.
CAUSE/RESOLUTION
The location and format of the \Filter\ folder files is slightly different between versions. Immediately after installation, prior to the required reboot, the old files need to be copied/moved and modified to match the new format. This will keep any filtered file from replicating.
- Copy the contents (XML files) of the \AVCStuff\Filter directory to the new \Program Files\GlobalSCAPE\WAFS Agent\Filters directory. (The new directory may need to be created.)
- Modify the files as indicated below:
Old:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UCS-2"
?>
<filterData>
<exclude filePattern="*.mp3"></exclude>
<exclude folderPattern="test"></exclude>
</filterData>
New:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"
standalone="yes"?>
<filterData>
<exclude filePattern="*.mp3"
/>
<exclude folderPattern="test”
/>
</filterData>
