Prerequisites

To set up classification, make sure that the following requirements are met.

  • A Classification Server is installed or a Data Insight server is assigned a classification role. Verify if the system requirements are met. See Veritas Data Insight Software Compatibility List.

  • Data Insight base license is installed. Access to Veritas Information Classifier is part of the Data Insight base license.

  • Data sources are configured in Data Insight, as required. Make sure that you scan these data sources before initiating a classification request. For information about scanning, see the Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.

  • The Classification Server is mapped to the Collector responsible for the storage device that you want to content scan.

  • The required policies, pattern, and tags are configured in Veritas Information Classifier. Make sure to enable policies before you submit the classification requests.

    For information about how to configure policies, see the Veritas Information Classifier Online Help.

  • The classification feature is enabled on Settings > Classification > Configuration.

    See Configuring classification.

  • If you want to enable Smart Classification, on a Windows Indexer apply the following Windows updates:

  • The Classification Server node classifying SharePoint paths should have .Net framework version 4.5 installed on it.

  • By default the location for storing the file content while it is being classified is C:\DataInsight\data. But, you can change the location by setting the following custom configuration property on the Settings > Data Insight Servers > Advanced Settings page:

    Property name

    classify.fetch.content_dir

    Property value

    F:\content

    Note:

    It is recommended that you encrypt the folder to protect the content.
