You may want to have answers for the following questions:
1. What has the user configured in their mail database as the mail archive?
2. Getting detailed information about local mail archive databases
3. What about mail archives the user copied to somewhere and they are not in the mail archive configuration?
The MarvelClient Analyze database comes with an agent "X. Addon Collect Mail Archive Details" to scan the clients local databases for Mail archives.
The Analyze database has some views prepared to presents the results:
Lets have a look in this article at question 2:
The findings will be available in the users notes.ini. If the notes.ini is uploaded to the Analyze database - navigate to the 'Mail Archives' to discover the findings.
What is required or can be controlled?
1. Please read Get Local Mail Archive Configuration - Part I
2. If you have set <user:archive_get_no_details> = "true", set to "false" (default) or remove the entry form you 'A5. *.ini & Variables' action to get detailed data.
We will use this action to tell the agent what we want him to do, which needs to be set before the agent runs.
<user:archive_get_no_details> = "true" Part 2 'Get details' will not be processed (Default = "false") <user:archive_filename_prefix> = Prefix of archive databases. Default = "a_". This or combined with <user:archive_filename_suffix> <user:archive_check_serverreplica> = "true" to asked for checking if server replica exists on users mail server and <user:archive_check_on_servername>, else no check <user:archive_check_on_servername> = check for replica not only on the users mail server but also on this server <user:archive_not_add_primarydb_criteria_path> = "true" to NOT add the primary Archive DB path into <user:user_archive_criteria_path>
Example ini action: This action must be set to 'Persistent'
The first setting (1) 'Remove' clears the notes.ini parameter with the previous found filepaths. To do not keep old filepath of deleted archives.
All other settings can be set as needed.
The findings will be saved in the following notes.ini parameters. Upload the notes.ini (notes_ini.xml) if not already done by a Backup action to the Analyze database.
