DLC (Data Layer Creation) Tool

Updated with new layer management options: Here's a very cool utility we received from Altiris engineer Jared Payne. The utility creates a data layer for a specified application based on the file types associated with that application.

Details

DLC looks in an application layer's registry and determines which file types are associated with the application, and then adds the associated file types as capture items in the data layer. If the data layer does not exist, DLC will create the layer for you.

Use:

DLC <DataLayerName|GUID>  <list of (LayerNames|GUIDs) > [FLAGS]

Examples:

DLC  Foo_DATALAYER Foo
DLC  ALL_DATALAYER *
DLC  MEDIA_DATALAYER Winamp Itune* "Rea? Player"

Warning

You still need to check the data capture list and make sure that you want all the items in the data capture list. Web browsers associate themselves with .html files but you may not want .html files to be in the data capture list.
