# Excluding Vendor Licenses from Data Processing

Open product-remove.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

Specify the vendor license/s to remove with the following syntax:

MAP: product_remove  
VendorLicenseName1
VendorLicenseName2
VendorLicenseNameN

The product_remove must not be changed.

Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimize Rules to Speed-up Rename or Mapping page.

In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'VendorLicense' and 'vendorlicense', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

MAP: product_remove    
VendorLicense372
VendorLicense118
VendorLicense112
VendorLicenset928

This example excludes VendorLicense372, VendorLicense118, VendorLicense112 and VendorLicense928 from data processing.

You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

Save the changes.
