Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator environment
This is an overview page of Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator (EV DA) customers that are needed for the migration project. New EV DA customer databases can be added here, and Archive Shuttle collects information from the environment to get information about the cases associated with that customer database through the assigned Archive Shuttle Enterprise Vault Collector module.
|
|
NOTES: ·Enterprise Vault export and collector modules must run under the user account which has access to the Enterprise Vault and Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator server. ·An Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator environment requires dependency on an existing Enterprise Vault environment. |
EV DA cases will be shown on the bulk mappings, manual mappings and existing mappings pages as an archive type. Collection of items from EV DA cases are processed automatically after a mapping is created in the Bulk Mapping wizard (when collection of items is enabled.)
All target containers are supported for migration (Office 365, Exchange, Enterprise Vault, PST and Storage Import).

How to add an Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator environment
1.On the EV DA Environment page, click Add.
2.Select the module to associate with this environment. This module is responsible in collecting information on the EV DA directory.
3.Enter the EV DA SQL server. This is the SQL server name/instance where this directory hosts its database. This can be a hostname, a Fully Qualified Domain Name, an IP Address or all of the previous with a SQL Named Instance provided. Examples include:
a.mysqlserver.mydomain.com
b.mysqlserver
c.192.168.0.1
d.mysqlserver.mydomain.com\instance
e.mysqlserver\instance
f.192.168.0.1\instance
4.Enter the EV DA customer database SQL database name. This is the name of the database associated with your EV DA customer in the Discover Accelerator user interface.
5.Enter the Link SQL server. This should be filled by default.
6.Click Add.
Repeat these steps for each EV DA customer you wish to add to Archive Shuttle.
Additional details
·Migration from EV DA cases supports the following filters:
oPath
oItem Date
oItem Size
·Journal Transformation is currently not supported.
Enterprise Vault retention mappings
This page shows all Enterprise Vault Retention Categories that have been mapped, and allows an administrator to add or delete existing mappings.
A Retention Category mapping is necessary in cross-Enterprise Vault Site/Directory migration scenarios. This is required so that Archive Shuttle knows which Retention Category it should apply to the target item, based on the retention category of the source item.
A Retention Category mapping can also be used to change the Retention Category in intra-Enterprise Vault Site/Directory migration scenarios. This is useful if it is required to consolidate Retention Categories.
|
|
NOTE: Without Retention Category mappings in place, Archive Shuttle will export data from Enterprise Vault, but not import any items into Enterprise Vault. |
Retention related mappings can be logged when interacted with. The logs will also show the retention label prior to its ingestion. This setting needs to be enabled, and the source container needs to be Enterprise Vault to be able to view the core logs.
Actions to be performed on the EV Retention Mappings page
Create Mapping: Create a new Retention Category Mapping. The following information is required, and can be selected from drop-down lists when creating the mapping:
·Source site
·Source Retention Category
·Target Site
·Target Retention Category
Create Multiple Mappings: This can be used to add multiple retention category mappings at one time.
Add Intrasite Migration Mappings: This can be used in intra-Enterprise Vault Site scenarios. It maps every Retention Category to itself, thus keeping the existing Retention Category during migration.
Delete Mapping: Deletes the selected Retention Category mapping(s).
Edit Mapping: Allows a mapping to be modified.
Refresh: Refresh the information on the displayed Retention Category table.
|
|
NOTE: Unmapped retention categories can be seen on the System Health page. |
SourceOne/EMX environment
This is an overview page of all the SourceOne/EmailXtender (EMX) environments that are needed for the migration project. New SourceOne/EMX environments can be added and ran here.
User interface
For every SourceOne/EMX environment, the table lists the following information:
·Environment Name
·SQL Server
·Database name
·Number of Archives
·Total Item Count
·Base Paths
The actions you can take on this page are:
·Add: Add a SourceOne/EMX environment.
·Enable Organization: Enable Exchange organization for archive collection.
·Disable Organization: Disable Exchange organization for archive collection.
·Run Now: Run archive collection now.
·Run Organization Collection: Run organization collection now.
·SMTP Settings: Set SMTP settings for archive collection. Click the checkbox to include SMTP archives, and add domains into the text box to be included into archive collection. This can be ran from the user interface, or is automatically ran once per day by using command S1CollectSMTPArchives in PowerShell.
|
|
NOTES: ·SourceOne does not have archives. ·Archive Shuttle determines message ownership and associates the first instance of a message to each sender and recipient Archive Shuttle identifies, and the routes a copy of that message. ·The command S1CollectSMTPArchives runs once per day and can be also ran from the user interface, on the SourceOne environment page. |
·Refresh: Reset the grid to default layout.
·Columns: Choose which columns to display.
