Creating specific and detailed migration rules

Before building migration rules, refer to the following information regarding syntax, keywords, connectors, conditionals, and statement order. The following example provides a three-step process for assembling simple, yet specific and detailed rules:

1. Start with a simple INCLUDE statement that is specific about what should be migrated, such as:

   INCLUDE (<PATH /Temp> AND <FILENAME *.mp3>)

2. Refine the INCLUDE statement by adding exceptions to the rule with restrictive EXCLUDE statements. Add these EXCLUDE statements above the INCLUDE, such as:

   EXCLUDE (<FILE_SIZE_UNDER 2MB>)

   EXCLUDE (<ACTIVE_WITHIN 14>)

3. The rule should finally appear this way:

   EXCLUDE (<FILE_SIZE_UNDER 2MB>)

   EXCLUDE (<ACTIVE_WITHIN 14>)

   INCLUDE (<PATH /Temp> AND <FILENAME *.mp3>)
