Creating a new retention category

Steps to create a new retention category

1.On the View menu click Manager.

2.Click on the Retention tab.

3.Right-click inside the list view, select New category from the context menu and navigate through the wizard as follows:

b-new ret

4.Basic settings window pops-up. Enter the name for your retention category in the Category name text box (e.g. Keep shortcut for 3 years).

c-name

 

5.In the Target HSM scheme dropdown box choose the target scheme which will be used for archiving. In the HSM system you may define different HSM Schemas, which are virtual categories for documents. (One HSM Schema has been created at installation of Archive Manager for Exchange and you may have created more HSM Schemas during the setup of Archive Manager for Exchange, each with a particular number assigned to it.)

6.In the Lifetime calculated from dropdown box you can choose from two options – Archive time and Receive time; i.e. you can define here the starting point from which the all the retention related times must be calculated. Either it will be the time when the item gets archived (Archive time) or it will be the item’s Received time.

7.In the Category description text box fill in a short description of the new category.

8.Click Next.

9.In the Document lifetime window specify your settings.

It is strongly recommended paying very much attention to these settings as they define the time period for which the emails are archived.

Set the Retention time. During this period none of the emails in the HSM store archived via this retention category can be removed from the archive. It is possible to select:

·Fixed period (set the period)

·Indefinite period (the retention time is not set specifically but can be defined later)

·Infinite period (retention is everlasting)

Select Activate automatic document deletion checkbox and specify Delete time if you want to COMPLETELY DELETE an archived emails whose retention time has elapsed from the HSM Store after a defined time.

info

NOTE: Activate automatic document deletion option applies to emails which are not marked for deletion.

By specifying the Keep alive time you set the time period for which the email, deleted after its retention time has elapsed, will be still kept in the HSM Store. Use the arrows to set the time or directly overwrite it. Delete and Keep alive time can be set in days, months or years.

d-lifetime

info

NOTE: The Delete time cannot be smaller than the Retention time. These settings set the time for which emails exist in the archive.

10.Click Next.

11.In the Shortcut lifetime window you can choose from three options:

a.Keep the original e-mail – select this option, must you wish to archive email and not to modify it in any way. In this case no shortcut will be created and the whole email will reside in the MS Microsoft Exchange Server. In the Archive view on the Mailbox tab such item will be displayed with the following icon: icon-keep-original-email

e-shortcut

b.Delete original e-mail – select this option, must you wish to delete all original email from the MS Microsoft Exchange Server immediately after its archiving. No shortcut is created and the email is not accessible from the user’s mailbox. In the Archive view such item is displayed as lost.

c.Create shortcut – select this option, must you wish to replace the original email with a shortcut after archiving and thus make it accessible for the user and save the space on MS Microsoft Exchange Server at the same time.

f-createShortcut

In case you have selected the Create shortcut option, further settings become available and you can adjust shortcut behavior to meet your needs. You can choose if the shortcut creation will follow immediately after archiving of the email (Create shortcut immediately radio button) or will be delayed for the specified period of time (Delay shortcut creation by radio button) when e.g. Blackberry users will be able to view their attachments. While no shortcut is created, the email is displayed in the Archive view with the following icon: icon-keep-original-email

Moreover, you can decide whether you want to keep the shortcut in the user’s mailbox until the user deletes it (Keep shortcut for ever option) or the shortcut will be deleted automatically after the defined time (Delete shortcut after a time option).

12.Click Next.

13.Extra settings window opens. If the Allow automatic deletion of unreferenced emails checkbox is selected, emails archived via this category will be marked for deletion whenever the Shortcut Sync job cannot find the reference to the emails in any of the users’ mailboxes. If the check-box is not selected, Shortcut Sync job will not marked eventual "lost items” for deletion (see the section "Shortcut Sync job”).

g-advanced

Example:

I.Emails are archived by a retention category with Allow automatic deletion of unreferenced emails checked and shortcuts are left in the Microsoft Exchange Server

II.You delete shortcuts from Microsoft Exchange (either by removing the shortcuts manually in a mailbox, or by deleting a folder in Outlook that contains shortcuts etc.) → emails become "lost items”

III.You run the Shortcut Synchronization Job → lost items are marked for deletion

caution

CAUTION: If the items were archived with 0 retention time and with Allow automatic deletion of unreferenced emails allowed, the Shortcut Synch Job deletes them COMPLETELY.

IV.Items marked for deletion are deleted from archive when their Retention (and Keep alive) time elapses and you run the Delete Files job.

info

NOTE: Items marked for deletion still reside in the HSM Store but cannot be restored using Archive Manager for Exchange, e.g. on the Archive tab.

14.Click Next to finish the creation of the new retention category.

Locations tab

For better performance and secure load balancing, you can install several archive or retrieve servers in several locations like Geneva, Amsterdam, Paris etc. Each server location uses its own database but they could point to the same Exchange Server. When you create locations, Archive Manager knows which location to use for archiving and retrieving emails for end users.

After you have:

1.installed your Archive Manager servers

2.assigned the servers their server roles in the Tools > Options > Server settings tab

You must:

3.register the servers as Archive or Retrieve severs in the Locations tab.
