Ignored Filter Reasons

Learn the meaning of the different ignored status values.


Overview

DryvIQ tracks why items were categorized as ignored/skipped by policy as configured during job creation. These categories are used in the migration job Validation report. Ignored reasons are also available on the items grid by filtering the list by the “Ignored” status and selecting one of the ignored reason categories.

Ignored Categories

Reason Description
Content extension The item was ignored due to a third-party extension. This filter can only be set through the REST API. 
Date The item was ignored due to a date range filter. The created on, modified on, or last touched date falls within the specified date range. 
Empty container policy The item was ignored because the Empty Container policy is set to skip empty folders.
File extensions The item was ignored due to a file extension filter.  
Hidden The item was ignored because the job is set to ignore hidden items
Item type The item was ignored due to a file type filter.
Large item policy The item was ignored due to the Large Item policy. The file is too large to be transferred to the destination platform.
match fail The item was ignored due to an error while calculating a destination path.
metadata The item was ignored due to a metadata filter
Destination items only The item was ignored because the Item Inspection policy is set to None. All existing content in the destination root is tracked as destination-only items and reported as ignored. This applies to jobs configured to transfer in one direction (source to destination only). 
Overwrite policy The item was ignored because the Item Overwrite policy is set to skip files with the same name as files on the destination platform. 
Path The item was ignored due to a path filter
Pattern The item was ignored due to a name pattern filter.
Predefined The item was ignored due to the predefined content categories filter
Restricted content policy The item was ignored due to the Restricted Content policy.
Shared The item was ignored due to the shared items filter.
