Hi Team,

What need to be blacklisted so that the size of .delta and .bundle files will be controlled as the size is increasing abruptly , these files holds the info of all the application and search details.we have nearly 50 applications details which are been redirected into this . will there be any impact .

Thanks in Advance

Hi Koushik_Katta,

If your app contains large files that do not need to be shared with the peers, you can use the replication blacklist to eliminate them from the bundle, and therefore limit the size of the knowledge bundle. For example:

[replicationBlacklist]
nocsv = apps[/\\]...[/\\]lookups[/\\]*.csv

Note that replication blacklists are applied globally. Delta bundles are incremental bundle partial changes and you do not directly control them.

For details, please refer to documentation here:

Hope this helps. Thanks!
