PST Importer overview
PST Impor ter allows system administrators to:
• Load legacy
(pre-RISS 1.0) PS T files into RISS .
• Scan PST files to ensure RISS finds and archives new messages.
• Provide optional tombstoning of messages in PST files.
NOTE:
PST Import
er modifies messages by removing attachments and possibly body content. These altered
messages a
re referred to as
tombstones
. You might be more familiar with the term
stub
. Outlook users
see a stub icon next to tombstoned messages.
PST Importer process
Use these steps in the PS T Importer process:
1. Create or plan to use an existing Archive Request file.
To create the file, use Archive Request Loader manually or with a script.
2. UseArchiveRequestLoadertovalidatethateachfilesetintheArchiveRequestfileisavailable
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 PS T Importer to modify the message by removing the body (depending
on content type) and a ttachments. This saves the message as a tombstone or stub. Note that
tombstoning is optional.
