EV11 Journal Search\Restore

Hi all,

Not sure ill get a solution to this one but i feel it’s worth talking about and I’m sure others find themselves in the same boat as me.

Since they brought in EV11 the journal Restore process is a complete PITA.

Before 11 you could search the journal, Add certain items of your choice to a basket, keep searching and adding and then when ready restore all of those items to a mailbox of your choice. Making it very quick and easy to cherry pick the items or many hundreds of items you need to restore.

Now its all gone, you can search which work well, but getting those items back to a mailbox is ridiculous, if you're talking about say 500 hundred items, its almost impossible, the results page has to keep loading in more items as you get lower down the page and as you keep going down to highlight more it seems to have a limit as to how many items it will display, so you lose the high items you had higlighted, why isnt there a "highlight all and restore"!! So are you supposed to go down the list highlighting the ones you want, then restore those - being careful to remember how far you get before moving on to the lower ones where it has to load them in??

Then there is this backward step of actually restoring, now all the option i have from the journal is Export to Zip, why can’t i select a destination mailbox? Why isn’t there a "Restore all results" option at least???

Can anyone shed some light on this backwards step?

Many Thanks

 

  • Hi,

    If you are licensed for Journal Archiving you are licensed for DA too (journal license to be used when asked for by DA install)

    It is indeed a seperate install. The install is pretty simple. Once installed, you will have 1 configuration database, and one database per 'customer' (minimum is one).

    If you run many large and/or complex queries, it might be best to install DA on a seperate server (can be a VM). If you run relatively simple queries, and your EV servers are not overloaded during the day, you can install on an EV-server. Installing on seperate server requires also the EV API to be installed (included in install-kit). when installing on EV server, no need to do that.

    There is an initial configuration via a webpage. Once configured, you use the DA-client to do the rest (from any workstation). As long as the user starting the client is in the DA setup, he can connect without issues.

    Be advised to include it in any documentation you have in regards to upgrading. DA needs to be done first, then EV itself.
