File System Archiving task reports

The File System Archiving task creates reports in the Reports\FSA subfolder of the Enterprise Vault installation folder.

Within Reports\FSA there is a subfolder for the task, with further subfolders to indicate the mode in which the task was run. Until the task has finished processing all its targets, the task keeps the reports in a folder that is called InProgress. When the task has finished processing, it moves the reports to a subfolder that is underneath the Completed folder. The folder name is the date and time that task completed its processing.

For example, if task 'ArchiveTask1' is running in normal, scheduled mode, but has not finished processing, the report files could be in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\FSA\ArchiveTask1\ArchiveScheduled\InProgress

If task 'ArchiveTask1' completes its processing on 20-Feb-2009 at 12:29.07, the report files are moved to the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\FSA\ArchiveTask1\ArchiveScheduled\Completed\2009-02-20 12-29-07

Table: Run modes and their associated folder names lists the folder names that are used for the different run modes.

In the report folder, the names of the report files are as follows:

TaskName_RunMode_RunNumber.txt

where:

It may take many runs before the archiving task has completely processed its target volumes. The task creates a report file for each run. The report for the final run has '_FINAL' added to the name to indicate that processing is complete.

For example, if 'ArchiveTask1' processes according to its schedule, in normal mode, the file names of successive reports could be as follows:

ArchiveTask1_ArchiveScheduled_001.txt
ArchiveTask1_ArchiveScheduled_002.txt
ArchiveTask1_ArchiveScheduled_003_FINAL.txt
