PST Importer overview
PST Importer allows system administrators to:
• Load legacy
(pre-RISS 1.0) PST files into RISS.
• Scan PST files to ensure RISS fi nd s and archives new messages.
• Provide optional “tombstoning” of messages in PST files.
NOTE:
PST Import
er modifies messages by removing attachments and possibly b ody content. This altered
message is
referred to as a tombstone. You may be more familiar with the term stub. Outlook users see a
stub icon
next to tombstoned messages. PCC screens also use stub to refer to tombstones.

PST Importer process
The following is the PST Importer process:
1. Create or plan to use an existing Archive Request file. T o create this file, use Archi ve Request Loader
manually or with a script.
2. Use Archive Request Loader to validate that each filesetintheArchiveRequestfile is available and
has not been imported. Each validated file is added to PST.MDB for processing.
3. UsePSTImportMonitortocompletetheimportprocess.PSTImporterreadsthePSTfile, and selects
messages that have not been tombstoned or archived for processing. Also use PST Importer to
modify the m essage by removing the body (depending on content type) and attachments. This saves
the m essage as a tombstone or stub. Tombstoning is optional.
Archive Request file
The Archive Request file defines the set of documents to be archived. Each file requires the following:
• Universal Naming Convention (UNC) pa th
• Option to distribute emails to all recipients (Fr om, To, Cc, and Bcc)
• Option to tombstone a nd remove body and/or attachments
• List of user repositories to receive document
