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 finds and archives new messages.
• Provide optional “tombstoning” of messages in PST files.
Note: PST Importer modifies messages by removing attachments and
possibly body 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.
This section discusses these topics:
• PST Importer process , on page 4-2
• Archive Request file , on page 4-3
PST Importer process
The following is the PST Importer process:
1. Create or plan to use an existing Archive Request file. To create this file,
use Archive Request Loader manually or with a script.
2. Use Archive Request Loader to validate that each file set in the Archive
Request file is available and has not been imported. Each validated file is
added to
PST.MDB for processing.
3. Use PST Import Monitor to complete the import process. PST Importer
reads the PST file, and selects messages that have not been tombstoned
or archived for processing. Also use PST Importer to modify the message
by removing the body (depending on content type) and attachments.
This saves the message as a tombstone or stub. Tombstoning is
optional.
