6.8 Blackberry Profile

This requires that the module be configured Blackberry Module.

To create a new profile to archive Blackberry data, first select the ‘add profile’ button and name the profile. Then continue configuring as desired.

6.8.1 Core Settings Tab

The Core Settings tab holds the enabling setting, which allows jobs connected to this profile to run. This must be checked before jobs will run.

6.8.2 Message Settings tab

The message settings tab can be used to exclude or include specific data types for this profile. By default, all types of messages will be archived. All Blackberry data which is selected to be archived must be logged in the Blackberry Enterprise Server or the data will not be available for Retain to archive it.

6.8.3 Scope Tab

This is the most critical tab to fill out as it sets the limits on how much to archive.

Date Range to Scan

The Date Range determines which message items are collected, depending on the date of the message.

New Items: All items that have not been archived by Retain since the last time the job ran.

All Items in Mailbox: All items in the mailbox starting from 1/1/1970, duplicates will be processed but not stored if they already exist in the Retain archive.

Number of days before job start date and newer: Only items from the relative number of days from the time the job began will be archived. E.g. messages that came into the email system 7 days ago or less.

Number of days from job start date and older: Only items previous to the relative number of days from the time the job began will be archived. E.g. messages that came into the email system 7 days ago or more.

Specify custom date range: Only items between two absolute dates will be dredged.

Specify custom date range relative to job start: Only items between two relative dates will be dredged. E.g. messages that came into the email system between 7 and 5 days ago.

Advance Flags

Enabling "Don't Advance Timestamp" will not update the timestamp flag. Items that are dredged will still be considered new by Retain the next time the job runs.

This is useful when troubleshooting, but is generally not used for normal jobs.

6.8.4 Advanced Tab

If you want to be more specific as to what to dredge or not to dredge, add the criteria here. Each line will be logically AND-ed together.

Think “Dredge all items where the following is true:” Criteria A AND Criteria B AND Criteria C AND etc.

You may select based on:

  • Subject

  • Sender

  • Recipient

  • Size

  • Attachment Name

Whether they are equal to, not equal to, whether they contain or do not contain the item may be specified.

This provides great flexibility and allows you to customize dredges and retention for many different groups, or even individuals.

You may now configure a Job Blackberry Jobs.
