Issue/Introduction
This article shows how to exclude multiple folders/files when running traUpgradeManager
Environment
OS:All
Resolution
One option is to run traUpgradeManager multiple times. Each time updates one folder/product only like below:
Another option use the "-exclude" option following a file which lists all the folders to exclude. This file has a a list of files/folders name (Only their name, not their full path) that needs to be excluded. In this case, the "/tmp/excludeFiles.txt" with below content will make skip folder " tra/5.10", " designer/5.10", " bw/5.13" and file domainutility.tra and AppManage.tra.
The command will be like below: 
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/tra/5.12 -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/designer/5.12 -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/bw/5.15 -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/designer/5.12 -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/bw/5.15 -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6
Another option use the "-exclude" option following a file which lists all the folders to exclude. This file has a a list of files/folders name (Only their name, not their full path) that needs to be excluded. In this case, the "/tmp/excludeFiles.txt" with below content will make skip folder " tra/5.10", " designer/5.10", " bw/5.13" and file domainutility.tra and AppManage.tra.
The command will be like below:
./traUpgradeManager -path /home/tea/tibco5x/ -rv /home/tea/tibco5x/tibrv/8.6 -exclude /tmp/excludeFiles.txt
