Table: Potential Compliance Sampling issues

Issue

What to check

The Compliance Sampling process (EVCompliance.exe) fails to launch on Enterprise Vault storage servers.

  • You have set up at least one customer database.

  • You have upgraded the customer databases to the latest version.

  • You have configured Compliance Accelerator against the correct Enterprise Vault site.

  • The Accelerator Manager service is running.

  • In the Enterprise Vault directory database, the AcceleratorConfigEntry table contains a configuration entry for the Compliance Accelerator server.

  • The SQL connection string in the AcceleratorConfigEntry table is correct.

  • There are no issues launching the Compliance Sampling process. (Run DTrace against StorageServer and filter on "EVComplianceLauncher" to observe any issues with the launching of the process.)

Items are not randomly sampled.

  • You have set up the department structure in Compliance Accelerator correctly, with monitored employees configured for sampling.

  • If you have only just configured Compliance Accelerator, ensure that the configuration has been updated in Enterprise Vault.

    Updates are applied on the next refresh of the cached configuration data. By default, this happens every hour and when the Storage service starts.

  • The SQL server that hosts the Compliance Accelerator configuration and customer databases is online and accessible from the Enterprise Vault server.

  • If you have explicitly mapped archives to Compliance Accelerator customers, ensure each target archive is mapped to a customer.

  • You have enabled the customer background tasks for the appropriate Compliance Accelerator customer.

  • The archived items are suitable for sampling (for example, they must have sender/recipient information).

  • The items are stored in an archive that is eligible for sampling.

The Storage service is automatically shut down.

  • The Compliance Accelerator customer and configuration databases are online and accessible from the Compliance Accelerator server.

  • In the Enterprise Vault directory database, the AcceleratorConfigEntry table does not contain any entries for Compliance Accelerator servers that are no longer in use.
