Configuration wizard page 4: File management

The File management page of the Lync Connector configuration wizard is where you specify the retention periods and the auto-retry period for transcript emails.

The retention periods give you time to perform the backup of successfully processed transcripts, and to examine failed or excluded transcripts.

The retry period controls for how long Lync Connector periodically retries the processing of transcripts that initially fail to process successfully.

Bear in mind that the longer the retention periods, the more space is required in the Lync Connector working folder.

The supplied default values should be suitable for most customers. However, note the following:

If you intend to process very large amounts of Lync data you may need to reduce the retention periods for successfully processed transcripts and excluded transcripts, to avoid excessively high disk space requirements.
If you have plenty of disk space for the Lync Connector working folder you may be tempted to increase the transcript retention periods. This approach should not be used in place of a proper backup strategy.

Specify the following information on the wizard page:

Retention periods

Successfully processed transcripts (days)	Specify how many days to retain the extracted transcripts that Lync Connector has processed successfully and sent to Enterprise Vault.cloud. The successfully processed transcripts are deleted from the completed folder after this many days. The default value is 30 days.
Excluded transcripts (days)	Specify how many days to retain the transcripts that Lync Connector has excluded from forwarding to Enterprise Vault.cloud, after the auto-retry period has ended where applicable. The excluded transcripts are deleted from the excluded folder after this many days. The default value is 60 days.
Failed transcripts (days)	Specify how many days to retain the transcripts that Lync Connector has failed to process after the auto-retry period has ended. The failed transcripts are deleted from the failed folder after this many days. The default value is 60 days.
Reports (days)	Specify how many days to retain the Lync Connector reports. Reports are deleted from the reports folder after this many days. The default value is 365 days.

Specify for how long and how often to automatically retry failed and excluded transcripts:

Auto-retry period (hours)

Specify for how long you want Lync Connector periodically to retry the processing of transcripts that failed processing, or for which no participants with archive accounts were recognized.

The default value is 72 hours.

After the auto-retry period has ended Lync Connector moves to the failed folder or the excluded folder the transcripts that remain failed or excluded.

Minimum time between auto-retries(hours)

Specify the minimum time between the automatic processing retries for failed and excluded transcripts.

This time limit ensures that Lync Connector does not waste its transcript processing resources by performing the auto-retries with unnecessary frequency.

The default value is 12 hours.
