6.1 Jobs Overview

Once a module has been configured, the Data Collection section is revealed and you can begin configuring a job to begin archiving.

Archiving involves connecting Retain to your messaging system with a Module, setting up a schedule for when you want archives to happen, a profile that defines what should be archived, a worker agent needs to be installed, configured and connected to Retain, and finally a Job needs to be configured with all the previous components as well as who to archive.

To set up archiving, you need to configure:

Module: How to connect your messaging system. Modules Overview

Schedule: When the job runs. Schedule Overview

Profile: What types of messages the job is to archive. Profiles Overview

Worker: The Worker is a combination of the Retain Worker Agent that can sit on the Retain server, the messaging server or another server, and the Retain Worker Web Object in the Retain Server console where you create the worker bootstrap which tells the Worker Agent how to connect to Retain Server.
