The first option evaluated is the ACTION option. The ACTION option instructs Data Optimizer to intercept the open request for optimization (INCLUDE) or to bypass the request (EXCLUDE).

Selection criteria and their corresponding performance options can be specified to Data Optimizer in the following ways:
