Remote and local mining
EAs Domino software can be installed on:
• HP gateway servers
This t ype of configuration is known as remote mining. All archiving operations occur on the
gateway server in the external domain. Messages are mined from mail files and/or journal
mail-in d a
tabases on Domino servers in the Dom ino domain. In remote mining, the gateway m ay
be referr
ed to as the HP Active Gate way, since it processes messages and routes them to the IAP.
Remote mi
ning provides a zero or n e a r-zero* footprint on your production mail servers, because
no archiving c ode is required on the mail servers.
* If you implement Advanced Filtering (HP EAs Domi no journaling) to meet compliance
requ irements, a subset of the EAs files is installed on e ach server from which journal mail-in
files are archived.
• Domino j
ournal or application servers
This configuration supports:
• Remote mining of mail files
•Remoteo
r local mining of journal mail-in databases
All archiving operations occur on the journal server, which must be within the Domino domain.
Messages are routed to the IAP by the HP gateway server.
• Domino
production mail servers
This type of configuration is known as local mining. Archiving operations occur on the same
Domino servers where the mail files and journal mail-in databases are located. In local mining,
the H P gateway server may be referred to as the HP Passive Gateway. Its main task is to route
messages to the IAP.
NOTE:
Serve
rs that mine and process messages for archiving can also be called
message pro cessing servers ,or
MP ser
vers, a term that you will see frequently in this guide. M essage processing servers can be gateway
serve
rs, journal or application servers, or mail servers, depending on your archiving configuration.
