Notes
|
|
Compliance Accelerator client
|
The client is used by Compliance Accelerator administrators to
set up and manage the system and by reviewers to access the items
that they are to mark.
|
|
Accelerator Manager Web site
|
This Web site lets you set up and manage multiple Compliance
Accelerator databases in which to store your data. For example,
this facility lets you split your data by date range or
organizational unit.
|
|
Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service
|
This service handles the requests from the Compliance
Accelerator client and works with the Enterprise Vault components
to access archives, perform searches, and so on.
|
|
Customer database
|
The customer database is a SQL database in which Compliance
Accelerator stores details of departments, user roles, search
results, and more.
You can set up multiple customer databases.
|
|
Configuration database
|
The configuration database is a SQL database that specifies the
location of the customer databases and stores details of the SQL
Server, database files, and log files to use.
|
|
Support for Crystal Reports Web site (optional)
|
This Web site lets you view any legacy reports in Crystal
Reports (.rpt) format that you
created with Compliance Accelerator 2007 or earlier. In version 8.0
of Compliance Accelerator, the reporting facilities employ
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services rather than Crystal
Reports.
|
|
Journaling Connector (optional)
|
The Journaling Connector collects a random sample of items that
have been sent to the Enterprise Vault archive of a Microsoft
Exchange or Lotus Domino journal mailbox. If you need to review a
certain percentage of each employee's communications every day, the
Journaling Connector is the best way to fulfil the requirement. At
a set time, Compliance Accelerator adds the items during the
previous 24 hours to the items to be reviewed for a department. You
can specify the percentage of each employee's communications that
you want to capture.
Compliance Accelerator provides one Journaling Connector for
Microsoft Exchange environments and another for Lotus Domino
environments.
|
Note that using the
Journaling Connector to sample messages is different from searching
messages for specific search criteria. The ability to run searches
is provided in the Compliance Accelerator client application.
Figure: How Compliance Accelerator works
with Enterprise Vault shows how Compliance Accelerator
components work with Enterprise Vault to access archived data. In
this diagram data is archived from Exchange servers. Alternatively,
data could be archived from Domino mail servers.
The Journaling Connector,
which must be installed on the same computer as the Journaling
Task, samples messages being archived from the journal mailbox and
adds the sample automatically to the set of messages to review in
the Compliance database.
The Accelerator Manager
service finds out the location of archives and Enterprise Vault
services and tasks from the Enterprise Vault Directory. It uses the
Enterprise Vault Indexing service to run searches and the
Enterprise Vault Storage service to view messages.
In small installations, the
Compliance Accelerator components can all reside on the same
computer as Enterprise Vault. In larger installations, a more
distributed setup is recommended, with Compliance Accelerator
components on a separate computer from Enterprise Vault.
