Error description

• The Rational Synergy 7.2.1.3 documentation at:
  
  Rational Synergy 7.2.1 > Reference > Rational Synergy reference
  > Methodology > Mapping rules
  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSRNYG_7.2.1/com.ibm.
  rational.synergy.reference.doc/topics/sc_c_mapping_rules.html?la
  ng=en
  
  does not clearly state that the following additional pattern
  will not work during the Sync operation:
  
  WHEN %name = 'test' and %type = 'dir' IGNORE
  
  because during the Sync operation, the type of the directory
  object is yet to be determined.
  
  Following pattern should instead be used:
  
  WHEN %name = 'test' and %is_dir IGNORE
