Exclude Project Files From SyncSubmitted by Gener Joseph Tomas

Ignoring files above save limit of 10000 files using .dominoignore

When you start a Run or launch a Workspace, Domino copies your project files to a Domino execution. When working with large volumes of data, this presents the following potential issues:

1. By default, you can store 10,000 files in a Domino project and you might exceed the limit.
2. By default, you can only transfer individual files that are 8GB to and from your Domino project files, and you might exceed the limit.
3. The time required to transfer data to and from the Domino executions is proportional to the size of the data. It can take a long time if the size of the data is large, which can lead to long startup and shutdown times for Workspaces, Jobs, Apps, and Launchers.

Some of the files can be ignored. To do so, use the .dominoignore option 

You can use the*symbol as a wildcard to match files of a similar pattern. All paths must be relative to the project root.

Enter the name of the file to be ignored in.dominoignore.

To ignore a folder and its contents, add the folder’s name to.dominoignore
