An error occurs in DRA when creating an exclude rule in an ActiveView using the CLI syntax 'action:x (NETIQKB51114)

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.5

symptom
An error occurs in DRA when creating an exclude rule in an ActiveView using the CLI syntax 'action:x' 

symptom
DRA Command Line Interface does not create exclude rules in ActiveViews.

symptom
Error: 'Error invalid action specified X' from DRA command to create an exclude rule in an ActiveView.

cause
The Directory and Resource Administrator documentation about creating an exclude rule is incorrect.  It indicates that the syntax to create an exclude rule is 'action:x '

fix

The correct syntax to create an exclude rule is ' action:exclude .'  The following corrected example creates an exclude rule.

To create a rule that excludes the CEO from management in any custom ActiveView, enter:

EA AV * ADD ceoExcludeRule type:u match:domainnname\ceo_username action:exclude

note
This information is currently incorrect in the DRA documentation. A ticket has been opened with the NetIQ Information Development Team and will be resolved in a future version of Directory and Resource Administrator.
