Q.
Each time I perform a FILTSRV MIGRATE operation, I get some objects in the BMRuleContainer container. However, when I look in FILTCFG, none of my custom exceptions are there. Why?
A.
At some point the custom exceptions were lost in NDS, and when you looked at them with FILTCFG, you synchronized those changes back into the FILTERS.CFG file, which deleted the exceptions from the file. Now when you perform a FILTSRV MIGRATE operation, you have no custom exceptions to migrate. You need to get another copy of FILTERS.CFG that still has the old exceptions in it, and repeat the FILTSRV MIGRATE operation using the good file. Do not look at the filters with FILTCFG until you confirm (with ConsoleOne, NWADMIN or DSBROWSE) that new objects were added into NDS.
