Using PST Importer
This section explains how to use the PST Importer tools and discusses these
topics:
• Archive Request Loader , on page 4-6
• PST Import Monitor , on page 4-11
Archive Request Loader
Use Archive Request Loader to create or validate an Archive Request file. This
tool also generates an output log file, detailing issues that occurred during
the load process.
Before adding a file to
PST.MDB , Archive Request Loader performs the
following tasks:
• Verifies accessibility to file with appropriate access rights.
• Obtains hash of file to be inserted.
• Queries PST.MDB for duplicate entry using generated hash.
• If not already inserted, queries RISS for duplicate entry.
• If no duplicate entry is found on RISS, proceeds with insertion.
Creating or revising an Archive Request file
To create an Archive Request file, use Archive Request Loader. Use the same
procedure to revise a file, which you can then resubmit for subsequent
processing.
If you plan to create a file using another method, see
Archive Request file , on
page 4-16 for a description of the XML tags and a sample XML file.
