E-mail archiving and DB2 CommonStore for Lotus Domino IBM INFORMATION ON DEMAND COMES TO YOU February 5, 2008 Bangkok, Thailand
2
1 Agenda CSLD - Overview of base functions Sub bullet CSLD - Overview of advanced functions CSLD - Summary and highlights
3
2 Extract e-mails from the messaging system –Option: together with meta data (like subject, sender, date, …) … and store them in an electronic archive system (repository) –On hard drive, tape, or optical disks (WORM) –For many years Access archived e-mails (retrieval) –Through the Domino client –Through the client of the electronic archive What is e-mail archiving? Messaging system Electronic archive system (repository) Client Archive Retrieve
4
3 CommonStore Electronic archive and content management solution Designed for –SAP (CSSAP) –Lotus Notes and Domino (CSLD) –Microsoft Exchange (CSX)
5
4 What drives e-mail archiving today? Growth of the messaging system –More users –Larger mail boxes –More expensive operation Requirement –Reduce the growth of the messaging system –Offload old e-mails from production messaging system –Keep old e-mails in near on- line access Legal requirements or industry regulations –E-mails treated as business records (based on procedures) –Provide e-mails on demand during audit or investigation Example 1 –User selects e-mails that should be business records Example 2 –All e-mails of a certain user group have to be captured and retained for a certain number of years –Example: Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), regulations for broker and dealers

7 CommonStore base functions Archive Retrieve Search Update Delete
9
8 Click to edit Master title style Base function - Archive
10
9 Archiving Types Entire messages –Mail header (To, From, Subject,...) can be kept as a placeholder (“stub“) in Notes views or folders –Mail becomes very small or is removed completely Attachments only –Only the attachments are archived, –Text in mail body remains unmodified Convert format of message –Line data, Rich text –Any other format (like TIFF, PDF) through program exit
11
10 Archiving Type - Entire messages Highlights –100 % document fidelity (no format conversion) –Includes Notes specific Rich text elements Database links, buttons, sections, … –Works for messages in Notes Richtext and MIME format –Works for signed and encrypted messages Several options for mail placeholder –Text only (configurable) –Retrieval hotspot –Intelligent abstract of message
12
11 Example: Archived message with retrieval hotspot Retrieval hotspot New
13
12 Archiving Type - Entire messages (cont.) Intelligent abstracting (optional) –A short summary of the mail is inserted in the mail body –Intelligent text analysis based on IBM’s Text Analysis Framework (TAF) identifies most relevant sentences (special training for e-mails) –Length (number of phrases) can be configured –Mail placeholder remains small (around 3 KB) Benefit –Better search results for user since the abstract is included in the Domino full-text index –No additional license cost for intelligent text analysis
14
13 Example: Archived message in iNotes with abstract Intelligent abstract New
15
14 Archiving Type - Attachment Highlights –Archives only the attachment –Works for messages in Notes Richtext and MIME format –Works even for attachments outside of mail body –Works for signed messages –Mail body remains intact –Can save 60-75 % of entire message storage space Attachment placeholder –In the exact location (not at end of message) Option 1: Text with hidden URL for Web retrieval Option 2: Text only (no URL) New
16
15 Example: Attachment archiving Attachment placeholders
17
16 Archiving Method – Automatic archiving (Crawler) Rules (policies) –Size of documents –Age of documents (absolute or relative) –Size of mail database –Notes formula (maximum flexibility) New
18
17 Example: Policy with Notes users and groups New
19
18 Archiving Method - User-driven archiving Archive action in Notes folder (Notes Client) Archive action in open document (Web Mail)
20
19 Click to edit Master title style Base function - Retrieve
21
20 Retrieval Types Simple click on a button for reload on Domino server –No Client code installed on user work station Retrieval button added as action to mail template or Retrieval hotspot inserted in mail body –Temporary restoration of message Periodic clean-up of reloaded messages –For reply or forward to external recipients –Works for both entire message and attachment archiving CommonStore web viewing – Simple click on web link (URL) created during archiving –Attachments can be viewed individually –No reload on Domino server –Works for attachment archiving only
22
21 Example: Reload on Domino Server Notes Client - Retrieval button - Retrieval hotspot Web Mail - Retrieval button - Retrieval hotspot
23
22 1.Click on CommonStore Web link (URL) 2.View archived attachment in Web Browser Example: Web retrieval of an archived attachment
24
23 Click to edit Master title style Base function - Search
25
24 Search and retrieve of archived messages Search –Based on attributes Subject, To, From, Date,... Stored in relational database of archive Requires mapping during archiving –Full-text (requires Content Manager v8.2) On a text attribute On the content of the archived item Environment –Notes Client or Domino Web Access Entire messages are restored in original state to Domino –Content Manager Client (or Content Manager OnDemand Client) Access point to Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
26
25 Example: Search in Notes Client 1.Enter a search 2.Get a hit list (results) 3.Click to open or view document
27
26 Example: Search in Content Manager pClient 1.Enter a search 2.Get a hit list (results) 3.Click to open document
28
27 Click to edit Master title style Base function – Update and Delete
29
28 Other features: Update and delete in archive Update –Attributes stored in repository Delete –Trigger removal in the archive from Notes interface –Important for keeping documents in Domino in synch with archived items (no orphans) –Important for implementing document retention policies

29 DB2 CommonStore for Lotus Domino Overview of advanced functions
31
30 Single-instance store (SIS) for CM v8.2 Archiving of entire Notes folders Other Domino applications CommonStore advanced functions
32
31 Single-instance store (CM v8.2) Feature –Identical messages are automatically recognized and archived just once (based on intelligent hash code algorithm) –Example: 1 e-mail is sent to 50 recipients 51 copies in Domino, only 1 copy archived by CommonStore –Optional setting –Work when archiving entire messages Benefit –Minimizes storage space in archive –Removal from Notes in archive supported New
33
32 Single-instance store (CM v8.2) – cont’d 1 item linked to several mail owners –Multi-value attributes in CM v8.2 (child component) –Any attribute that is different for messages with same content is part of the child component New
34
33 Archiving of entire Notes folders Archive –Notes folder and all subfolders and all contained documents stored with just one archiving request –CommonStore stores the Notes folder information in the archive –Recommended: archive entire message without leaving document stubs Restore –Select root folder and restore all subfolder and contained documents with just one retrieval request Benefit –One folder becomes the placeholder for many documents and folders –Useful for user-driven archiving in Domino applications
35
34 Other Domino applications All CommonStore functions available –Automatic and user driven archiving –Retrieve, search, update, delete, … –Any attribute mappings –Any Notes forms Template changes –Based on CommonStore Script libraries –Easy customization
36
35 Example: Customer & Co application
