6.15 GroupWise Job
Before a job can be created the module must be configured GroupWise Module.
A job is made up of:
-
Schedule Schedule Overview
-
Profile GroupWise Profile
-
Worker Workers Overview
-
Job GroupWise Job
6.15.1 Core Settings Tab
The Core Settings of a job contains configuration which must be set for the job to be saved and become active. A job must be enabled before it will run. Jobs must also have a specified schedule, profile, and worker. These are all selected from drop-down menus, and will not be populated unless those items are already configured in the system.
The Data Expiration setting is an option to place a time stamp on data in the Retain database, which allows for ease of automation for the deletion manager. In addition, devices such as NetApp, Centera, and Hitachi HCAP may use this number to enforce hardware level protection of the stored item so that no one (including Retain) may delete the item before its expiration date. Job Expiration is not retroactive for mail in the database, and only applies to mail archived by the job that it is active for. In order to have messages with custom job or folder expiration dates properly expire, the deletion management date scope must be set to delete messages with an Expiration Date older than 1 day.
6.15.2 Mailboxes Tab
The mailboxes tab is where the administrator specifies which entities (mail server(s) and/or Distribution List(s)) are to be scanned. This tab is not displayed for the mobile module.
Expand the Post Office and/or Distribution List trees, and check off the items you want to be dredged.
NOTE:If you desire to have a job backup a single user, or selected group of users, select the Users menu and assign the user(s) desired
The Distribution List selection allows you to include or exclude a group of users from an archive job. If you want to use GroupWise Distribution Lists, the visibility needs to be set to “system wide”.
The users section allows you to select individual users to include, or exclude them from an archive job. For example: you can select an entire Mail Server to be archived, and then expand the users section to include or exclude users to the job.
This can also be used to select only certain users in the system for an archive job.
To add a user to the Include or Exclude list, select the respective ‘Add user’ button and search for the user. It can be helpful to unselect the ‘only show recently cached items’ option. Add the selected users to the list in the search window, then select ‘Ok’ to add them to the include or exclude list.
6.15.3 GroupWise Job Option - GroupWise Disaster Recovery Tab
Selecting this option tells the job to use the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Integration GroupWise Disaster Recovery Integration for systems utilizing GroupWise Disaster Recovery. See the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Integration section for instructions on configuration. The Server URL must be edited with the correct contact info for the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server. The default GroupWise Disaster Recovery port is 5555.
Retain instructs GroupWise Disaster Recovery to load the corresponding backup set for each date range in the profile. If a different set needs to be specified, the override setting specifies a date range specifically for GroupWise Disaster Recovery, which then will ignore the date range in the profile. Retain will still archive according to the profile date range or settings.
6.15.4 Notification Tab
When a job is run, the Notification option allows the administrator to be emailed a summary and report of any errors, for each running job.
For notification to function correctly, the SMTP information for the desired SMTP server must be fully filled-out. How much information is required varies depending on the mail system used.
6.15.5 Status Tab
The Status tab displays the status of any currently running jobs, as well as the stats of the last completed job.
On some modules, currently running jobs may be terminated here. For the rest, this tab is informational only.
