MessageStats 7.8 - Report Pack for Archive Manager User Guide

Preparing for Installation

When you install the MessageStats, the core MessageStats database is extended to include information that is gathered from Archive Manager. The database is populated with this information when you create and run an Archive Manager gathering task.

The installer also installs the report pack task processor and the new Archive Manager reports, and adds the Archive Manager node to the MessageStats MMC client.

Before you install the report pack, verify that you meet the minimum requirements. You must also have the MessageStats core product installed before you can install the report pack.

Database Collocation Not Recommended

Quest Software does not support the installation of the MessageStats database on the same SQL Server Instance as the Archive Manager database.

Also, Quest does not recommend that you install MessageStats database on the same SQL server as the Archive Manager database. This scenario can result in a performance impact in your Archive Manager SQL environment.
