You can control which objects HCP compresses based on these object properties:
•Age — You can compress only objects that were added to the repository more than some number of days ago.
•Size — You can compress only objects whose content is larger than a specified size. (HCP never compresses objects smaller than seven KB.)
•Location — You can exclude from compression objects located in a specified directory, as well as in all its subdirectories, recursively.
•Name — You can exclude from compression objects with names that match a pattern you specify. For example, you might choose to exclude objects with names that match *.jpg because the data for this type of object is already highly compressed.
To be eligible for compression, an object must meet all the criteria you specify.

Note: •The criteria you specify apply across all namespaces. •HCP always compresses old versions of objects, regardless of age, size, and any specified exclusion criteria. |
