Configuring the update

You can exclude some objects from the update by modifying the MRL_Update_Configurationfile.xml configuration file found in the directory where you extracted the installer:

advanced_installations\resource_management\MRL\conf

You can modify this configuration file during the MRL update by selecting Compare your hierarchy to new class hierarchy and then selecting Modify configuration file in a text editor. You must save modifications before you execute the comparison because this file will be used during the compare step.

You can add attribute IDs to the section DoNotAddAttributes in the configuration file to only include the attributes that you need. The DoNotAddAttributes section is empty by default.
