You most likely will not want to create migration rules for these types of applications and the Exclusions feature helps reduce the level of noise you have to navigate. Excluded applications are based on vendor, title and edition and fall into two categories.
System driven exclusions
These exclusions (typically service packs, hotfixes, security updates, etc.) are automatically managed by Application Migration – they are filtered out when you run the Application Migration consolidation report or when its next synchronization event takes place. The algorithm looks for these sub strings to build an exclusions list:
- security update for
- update for
- visual c++ redistributable
- Multi-Targeting Pack
- service pack
- language pack
- integration pack
- targeting pack
- developer pack
- boosterpack
- codec pack
- clipartpack
- compatibility pack
- hotfix for
- integration package
- visual j# redistributable
- mui pack
- Windows Server
- Windows.
User driven exclusions
User driven exclusions (typically those that have no relevance to your organization) are those you specifically choose to exclude. For example, if you choose to exclude Microsoft SQL Server Compact edition, all versions for that product will be excluded, however other SQL Server editions will be unaffected.
