Hitfile Exclusions Configuration File (Draft)

The configuration of the hitfiles’ contents is configured by the defaults file DRA-VNET-EXCLUDE. The file contains a list of PDMS items types to be excluded from the generated files. The standard file supplied with the AVEVA NET PDMS Gateway installation is located in the PDMSDFLTS directory, %PDMSUI%\DFLTS.

In order to keep standard (AVEVA) and user configurations separate, there can be separate DRA-VNET-EXCLUDE files placed in the standard PDMS defaults area’s. By default any user exclusions files found in default directories will override the supplied/standard exclusions file.

User exclusion files should have the same file name, and be placed into the following places, depending on the company standards for defaults. (This is standard to all other PDMS defaults file configurations.)

• The PDMSDFLTS directory holds company exclusions, which are available to all projects.

• The ABCDFLTS directory (where ABC is the project name) holds exclusions specific to one project.

• The PDMSUSER directory holds exclusions specific to a single user.
