After installing the Retain Server, you must run the initial configuration wizard to prepare the server for working with all the components that will constitute your Retain deployment.
Do the following:
On an administrative workstation, open a supported administrative web browser.
Go to http://RetainServer-IP-or-DNS/RetainServer.
Run the wizard to configure the Retain Server as outlined in the following table.

Storing data on separate volumes can yield significant performance increases. Therefore, Retain lets you specify where you want to store archived data, indexes, and so on. |
Message Store Database |
|
This is the database that stores meta data for messages and other data archived in the datastore. |
Configuration Database |
|
This is usually the same as the Message Store Database, so all connection information is carried forward to this dialog except the password. Retain lets you create and specify a separate database if desired. |
Administrator Account |
|
This account
NOTE:Retain lets you create as many user accounts with administrative roles as you need. If this account is deleted, you will need to contact Micro Focus support. |
SMTP Notifications |
|
Retain uses an SMTP relay host for sending notifications. The wizard attempts to send a test message. You shouldn’t proceed with setting up Retain until the SMTP test message is successfully delivered. If you see an error, check firewall settings, including local application firewalls running on affected desktops and/or servers. If no SMTP is present, you can skip this step by typing skip in the SMTP Mail Server field. Obviously, this disables Retain’s notification services and is therefore not recommended for production deployments. |
