3.2.1.3.4 File Groups

For each file group a minimal set of configuration properties is maintained by the server. The configuration of a file group consists of all the information required to define the file group. There is no state information to track for a file group.

A File Group is a type of FSRM Base Object (section 3.2.1.1) that has all the properties and state of a FSRM Base Object. The following configuration data is maintained for each file group on the system:

File Group.Name: This property is a unique, user-assigned, case-insensitive Unicode string for the file group.

Members: This property is a file name pattern that is used to compare file names to determine membership in the file group. If a file name matches the pattern, it is considered to be a member of the file group, unless it also matches the non-members pattern.

Non-members: This property is a file name pattern that is used to compare file names to determine non-membership in the file group. If a file name matches the pattern, it is considered to be a non-member of the file group.

File Group.Overwrite on commit: This setting is a Boolean value that specifies whether the existing File Group is overwritten with the imported File Group.
