Adding selective journaling registry settings

This section describes how to configure the registry settings for selective journaling.

To add the selective journaling registry settings

  1. Log on to the Journaling task computer as the Vault Service account.

  2. Run regedit and navigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \Software
     \KVS
      \Enterprise Vault
       \External Filtering
    	\Journaling
    

    Add the External Filtering key under Enterprise Vault, and the Journaling key under External Filtering, if they do not exist.

  3. In Journaling, create a new STRING value with the name 1 and set its value to SelectiveJournal.SJFilter.

    By default, items that are not archived are sent to the Deleted Items folder in the journal mailbox.

    If you want items to be deleted immediately, without going to the Deleted Items folder, add the DWORD, HardDeleteItems, to the following location and give it a value of 1:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \Software
     \KVS
      \Enterprise Vault
       \Agents
    	\SelectiveJournal
    

    Add the SelectiveJournal key, if it does not exist.

  4. To enable your changes, stop and restart all Journaling tasks on the server. You need to do this whenever you make a change to the rules file or if you modify the registry values.
