Management

Management section constitutes centralized dashboard where user with appropriate permissions can manage specific configuration settings in the following sections:

·File Management

Adding, editing and removing of Archive Manager for Files servers which together establish the file archive system. Additionally, with Scheduler capabilities, Archive Manager for Files jobs are easily managed in the same way as on the Scheduler tab of the Enterprise Manager (Archive Manager for Files).

·Search Management

Registering and managing search servers in the environment.

Search Management

Search Management section is displayed only if appropriate permission is set for the user. This section allows managing of Search servers installed in the environment. Specifying search servers on this tab is prerequisite of search functionality. With no search server defined, search is not available.

After clicking on the Search servers menu, the available Search servers will be listed in the main pane.

NOTE: If web.config file contains information about Search server(s) (this is applicable if upgrading from previous versions of ArchiveWeb) the list will be automatically populated.

By clicking the Delete option the respective Search server will be removed, i.e. it will not be used for Searches.

To add a new Search server click New option in the list header. It will add a new row to the list where you can specify the Search server properties.

NOTE: Avoid using localhost as Server Name.

By clicking the Edit option next to the given server, you can change server properties. The Search Scope marks for which Archive Manager the given search server has been installed (Archive Manager for Files/Exchange).

For Location - this property is applicable only for Archive Manager for Exchange search servers. 

For a Search server you can specify a location which the respective Search server "covers" by selecting a location from a "FOR LOCATION" dropdown. This dropdown lists all locations defined in Archive Manager for Exchange in a location where the logged in user has active mailbox.  (For more information on locations see the Archive Manager for Exchange Administration Guide.)

Provided there are more Archive Manager for Exchange locations in the environment and each has it own search server, the given search servers must be listed with correct location.

Federated Search

If you're using more locations, you can setup a Search service for each location. Each Search service will index items on its location.

To setup Federated search (search over more search servers) in ArchiveWeb you have to modify the Search servers (Search Management) by specifying “FOR LOCATION” value.

Federated search allows you to collect results from more search servers in one search request.

You can perform federated search over all available (according to permissions) search areas:

·Exchange

·Files

·Common
