Archive Manager 5.9.1 - Installation and Configuration Guide for Exchange

Deployment considerations for Exchange System requirements Hardware recommendations Pre-installation preparations Installing and configuring Archive Manager Upgrading/Uninstalling Archive Manager Post-installation tasks Appendix A: Attachment store types

Exchange Store Manager (ESM)

•
Exchange Store Manager Timer Interval: Sets the number of seconds that the Archive Manager ESM Service will stop before running again.The default value is 90 (seconds).
•
Exchange Store Manager Log Level:
•
0 - Error
•
1 - Warn
•
2 - Info (default)
•
3 - Debug
•
Stub Display Message: The notification that Archive Manager adds to a stubbed message in Outlook (notifying that the message has been stubbed). This notification can be customized with this configuration setting. Use [square brackets] to enclose the string that functions as a link to the message.
•
Exchange Store Manager Force Delete: When set to True or 1, this setting forces the ESM to delete messages from Exchange even if the message can not be found in the Archive. This happens if a retention Delete policy has been run and the message is still in Exchange. This could also happen if the message has been excluded from the archive through exclusion rules. To be deleted, the message must meet the criteria of a delete policy. The default is False or 0.
•
Exchange Store Manager Max Thread Count: Determines the number of Exchange mailboxes to which the Archive Manager ESM Service will connect simultaneously. If this value is not specified, it defaults to 1. The maximum allowed value is 13.
We recommend that you experiment before implementing other settings in a production environment. Start by specifying a value of 2, and then increment the value one at a time until you achieve the desired result. Each thread consumes a significant portion of CPU processing capacity, so settings approaching 10 are almost always counterproductive.
•
Exchange Store Manager Max Thread Count Per Proxy Credentials: The maximum number of mailboxes that Exchange Store Manager can process at the same time for each pair of proxy credentials. The default value is 3.
This setting works with the setting Exchange Store Manager Max Thread Count to determine the maximum number of mailboxes that Exchange Store Manager can process at the same time. We recommend that the Exchange Store Manager Max Thread Count is lower than the Exchange Store Manager Max Thread Count Per Proxy Credentials.
•
Exchange Store Manager Only Stamp During Stripping: Enables the ESM to only stamp attributes used by the ESM when they are needed, such as during stubbing. The default is 1 or True. True or False values can also be used for this setting.
•
Exchange Store Manager Strip IPM.Document: When set to True or 1, this setting enables stubbing of IPM.Document items when they meet the criteria of a stubbing policy on the folder in which they reside. The default is False or 0.
•
ESMWorker Exclusion Paths: A list of paths wherein any messages will not be archived by ESM or the Journal Data Loader. The default value is: “Contacts\Recipient Cache”. Additional paths must be separated by “; ”. Specify full paths from root folders (such as Inbox, Contacts, etc.). All sub-folders in a specified path are excluded.
Note that ESMWorker uses ‘\’ to link the path names, but ‘\’ is a valid character in an outlook folder. If a specified exclusion path ends with a ‘\’, ESM Worker ignores it. (For example, ESMWorker treats “Inbox\ignorefolder\” as “Inbox\ignorefolder”.)
•
Exchange Ignore Message Classes: This setting applies to all message policy actions. Message classes listed here are not eligible for any policy actions. Use "|" to separate multiple values. For example: "ipm.note.smime|ipm.note.secure.*".
•
Exchange Store Manager Worker Log Retention Days: How many days the ESM worker logs will be kept in log folder. The default value is 7 (days).
•
Show Soft Delete Messages: This setting determines whether ESM will scan the Recover Deleted Items (Tombstone) for the messages that have been Shift+Deleted from the mailbox or deleted from “Deleted Items” folder.
•
True (default): ESM will scan the Tombstone. If a message has been Shift+Deleted from the mailbox before ESM can scan it. ESM will scan it from Tombstone in next scan and link it to the “Deleted Items” folder.
•
False: ESM will not scan the Tombstone. If a message has been Shift+Deleted from the mailbox before ESM can scan it, ESM will never scan it.
•
Exchange Store Manager Use AutoDiscover: This setting can be added and set to True to tell ESM to use Autodiscover for all mailboxes, including non-hosted mailboxes. The default is False.
•
MAPI Force Keep Profile: This setting forces ESM to keep Outlook profiles even if the ESM service does not run successfully. The default value is False.

Lync Store Manager (LSM)

•
Lync Store Manager Timer Interval: The time, in seconds, between LSM scans. The default value is 3600 (seconds).
•
LSM Export Delay Hours: A time delay, in hours, after a conversation starts, before LSM processes the conversation. This delay is necessary because a conversation can only be exported after it is closed and saved (a Microsoft limitation). If LSM runs too soon, active conversations are missed. The default value is 12 (hours). This is the recommended minimum value.
•
LSM Failed Folder: The location to put conversation files that the Data Loader failed to load. The default value is “<Base Data Directory>\LSMFailed”.

Data Loader

•
Dataload Timer Interval: Sets the number of seconds that the data loader will stop before running through the enabled "Dataloaders" (within the Archive manager user interface), for example, MAPI, Filesystem etc. The default value is 60 (seconds), since the MAPI32 process must have time to unload before the Dataloader processes the Mailbox on its next run. A lower value may work better in some circumstances, but in most cases 60 seconds is the optimum interval.
•
DataLoad Service Max POP Message Size: The maximum size in MB of message processed by the POP3 data loader. The default value is 50 (MB).
•
Dataload Process Rows: The number of database records that the data loader will process in a batch. The default value is 2500.
•
Save Excluded Emails: Save Excluded Emails is a Boolean (true or false) parameter that determines whether File System Data Loader will save all messages that match an exclusion rule to the Exclusion directory as XML. If this feature is enabled, it also will write some metadata to the Exclusion table in Archive Manager. The default value is True.
•
ExclusionDirectory: Specifies the location to store the excluded XML files. The default value is C:\Quest\ArchiveManager\Exclusion.
•
ErrorPath: Specifies the location to store the XML files that the File System Data Loader fails to load. The default value is C:\Quest\ArchiveManager\Error.
•
Data Loader Worker Log Retention Days: How many days the logs of the MAPI data loader will be kept in the log folder. The default value is 7 (days).
•
Journal Data Loader Log Level: The log level for the MAPI data loader.
•
0 - Error
•
1 - Warn
•
2 - Info (default)
•
3 - Debug
•
POP3 Timeout Seconds: The maximum number of seconds for the POP3 data loader to process a single message. The default value is 3000 (seconds).
•
MAPI Data Loader Timeout Seconds: Sets the number of seconds that data loader will stop when the ESMWorker hangs.The default value is 1800 (seconds).

Full Text Index (FTI)

•
Full Text Index Include Recipients: Controls whether or not recipients are added to the Lucene index. The default is False. This setting has historically defaulted to false as the recipients are not searchable in Lucene, but are instead pulled from the Archive Manager database. This setting should remain false.
•
Full Text Index Max Field Length: This setting can be used to increase or decrease the field length from the default of 100,000 for indexed terms in a single document.
•
Full Text Index Max Merge Docs: This setting can be used to merge indexes into larger files, increasing search performance. The default is 1000000 documents per file.
•
Full Text Index Merge Factor: This setting can be used to merge same-sized index files, increasing search performance. The default is 10 files.
•
FTI Max Buffered Docs: Specifies how many documents Lucene can buffer in RAM before flushing them to an on-disk segment. If set to zero, flushing is triggered by size only, according to "Full Text Index Ram Buffer Size MB". The default is 0.
•
FTI Max Worker Count: The max number of indexing workers the FTI can devote to a single partition. The default is 10.
•
FTI Max Total Indexer Threads: Aggregate maximum total number of indexer threads the FTI is allowed to use. If "FTI Max Worker Count" times the number of active partitions exceeds this total, the FTI will scale back each partition's use of threads to try not to exceed this limit. No partition, no matter how low its IndexingPriority, will use less than 1 thread. The default value is 40.
•
FTI Commit Point Keep Count: The number of Lucene index commit points to retain. This should only be increased above 1 if attempting to gather data on index corruption. The default is 1.
•
FTI Auto Failover: Controls whether the FTI will initiate failover automatically. The default is True.
•
FTI Auto Repair: Controls whether the FTI will initiate repair of corruption automatically. The default is True.
•
FTI Repair Auto Fix: Controls whether the FTI will actually repair the corruption it identifies during a Repair operation. The default is True.
•
FTI Auto Itemize: Controls whether the FTI will initiate itemize automatically after repair. The default is True.
•
FTI Itemize Auto Fix: Controls whether the FTI will actually add FailedToIndex records for the items it identifies as missing during an Itemize operation. The default is True.
•
Full Text Index Ram Buffer Size MB: Determines the amount of RAM that may be used when buffering added documents and deletions before they are flushed to the Directory. This setting corresponds directly to Lucene's SetRAMBufferSizeMB method. The default is disabled. Using the default setting is recommended.
