HP Integrated Archive Platform Managing Repositories and Retention Whitepaper

System Repositories

Several repositories are created when the system is installed or when IAP domains are created. These

repositories are listed under the “Other” tab shown in Figure 25. The domain based repositories are

listed below:

<domain>.catchall repository

<domain>.userauditlog.repository

<domain>.failed.indexing.repository

<domain>.recyclebin.repository

Catchall Repository

The domain.catchall repository is used to capture messages and documents that cannot be associated

with an IAP user account or repository. Messages that cannot be routed do not correspond to any

system routing rule. Mailing-list messages cannot be routed if the recipient’s name is not included in

the message as a destination.

Audit Log Repository

The domain.userauditlog repository is created when the audit log feature is enabled for a domain by

the following settings in the Domain.jcml file:

AuditLogEnabled=true

domainLog_IP=192.168.1.212

The audit log function stores log files as documents and provides an audit trail of activity on the IAP.

This feature audits the following activities on the IAP:

Viewed messages and documents

Searches

Exports

Quarantines

Deletions

Auditors use the IAP Content Search and Retrieve Interface to search the domain.userauditlog

repository for the content type documents to display user activity on the IAP domain. The default

retention period for the domain.userauditlog is 7 years.

domain.failed.indexing repository

The domain.failed.indexing repository is used to store items that cannot be indexed by the IAP. This

repository contains documents that were partially indexed. Messages that contain document types that

cannot be indexed are stored in this repository. Messages with these conditions are added to the

“failed to index” repository in addition to their user repository.

domain.recyclebin.repository

The domain.recyclebin.repository is used to store items that are no longer associated with any

repositories on the IAP. Messages deleted by the End User Delete function (if enabled) are stored in

the recycle bin repository for 30 days or as defined by the domain.recyclebin.repository retention

setting.
