How to find Retention Category from client logs in Enterprise Vault

How to find Retention Category from client logs in Enterprise Vault. I have checked and found the Retention Category option but its showing combination of some numeric +alphabets +ServerName.

[ChrisLangevin · Accepted solution]

Your "combination of some numeric +alphabets +ServerName" is probably the RetentionCategoryId, a unique identifier that corresponds to one of your Retention Categories. (Most objects in EV have some kind of Id that functions as the object's "real name" internally to the program and is translated into a display name by the GUI layer.)

To show which Id corresponds to which display name, run this SQL query against your EnterpriseVaultDirectory database:

SELECT RetentionCategoryId, RetentionCategoryName
FROM RetentionCategoryEntry
