eDiscovery Platform 9.0 General Availability
Hello Everybody, I am excited and proud to announce the General Availability of eDiscovery Platform 9.0 as of December 22, 2017. This is a major release that incorporates many significant feature, product and security enhancements, improvements and fixes. With GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as the primary theme around this release, new features for data classification, improved performance, resiliency, scalability and workflow have been added to enhance the eDiscovery experience. Some of the highlights of the release include the following: Information Classification Starting with version 9.0, the eDiscovery Platform lets you automatically classify sensitive and critical case data based on a set of built-in and custom policies. Note: The Information Classification feature can only be enabled for cases created in version 9.0 and later. Cases created before version 9.0 are not supported. The platform integrates with Veritas Information Classifier (VIC) to analyze and classify eDiscovery data. VIC uses both predefined and user-defined policies to assign classification tags to your eDiscovery data during the processing phase. Once these tags have been applied,users can view pre-selected classification filters (system tags) in the Analysis and Review mode to quickly identify documents that match the VIC tags. Bulk Redaction and Delete Bulk Redaction Bulk redaction provides the ability to redact multiple documents in a Redaction Set without having to individually open and review each and every document in the Native Viewer. You can easily specify the redaction text along with the reason code that needs to be applied on theredacted text to all selected documents. Bulk redaction works on redaction sets with preset reason codes and with free-text reason codes. The delete bulk redaction option makes it easy to delete all redactions and annotations for a set of documents in a redaction set. Redaction sets with preset reason codes Currently, case reviewers can add free text as a reason for redaction while redacting a document. New functionality is available so the Case Administrator can define preset reason codes. Reviewers will then be able to redact documents by applying reason codes consistently. The Case Administrator can create redaction sets with either predefined reason codes or free text reason codes. Case reviewers can apply the preset reason codes to redaction markups. Case reviewers can search, filter, or export documents based on the preset reason codes. Annotations in review mode In addition to the existing capability to redact a document, this release adds the ability to annotate a document in review mode. Case reviewers can annotate a document by adding comments or graphical stamps, or strike out some text. Case reviewers are also allowed to delete annotations. Case reviewers can also search the document for the Redacted Tag. Once annotated, the document can be reviewed by another reviewer, who can also add annotations. Case Backup Integrity During an eDiscovery Platform backup, empty directories may be created in the backup structure. If a case backup directory is then moved and empty directories are not copied, a restore job will subsequently fail. With this release, restore job for a case backup with empty directories does not fail. With the Case Backup Integrity feature, a checksum of the case backup directory is created during both the backup and the restore job. The checksum file created during the restore job is compared with the checksum file created during the backup job. If any empty directory is identified, then these empty directories are created at their specific paths during restore. This results in the success of the restore jobs. Automatically convert OST to PST Data Files for processing The eDiscovery Platform can now seamlessly convert OST files to PST files for processing. OST data files are converted to PST data files during the discovery phase. Upon successful completion of this operation, normal PST processing is applied to the files for easy access,review, and analysis. See technical article for details: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000128050 Integrated Windows Authentication Single Sign-On for Legal Hold Veritas eDiscovery Platform supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) Single Sign-On (SSO) for Legal Hold authentication. When IWA SSO is configured, the logged-in Windows credentials of the custodian are used for authentication, and the custodian is subsequently directed to the Legal Hold Confirmation page without the need to enter login credentials. To use the SSO option, LDAP must be configured and enabled against the Active Directory domain from which Windows users will be authenticating. See technical article for details: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000128049 Office® 365 connection using MAPI/HTTP Microsoft deprecated support for RPC over HTTP on October 31st 2017. With this release, the Veritas eDiscovery Platform will now use MAPI/HTTP to connect to Office 365 in support of this change. The eDiscovery Platform 9.0 installer automatically installs the KB3114941 updates for Outlook 2013 32-Bit Edition that enables the MAPI/HTTP protocol required to collect data from Office® 365 mailboxes. See the 9.0 Identification and Collection Guide for details and troubleshooting steps.

Trying to Upgrade clearwell from 7.1.2 to 7.1.3
Im trying to upgrade to 8.1.1 eventually but inorder to get there I need to go to 7.1.3 then to 8.1 etc.... My PROBLEM is that when I try the upgrade from 7.1.2 to 7.1.3 I click on the setup program for 7.1.3 and I get the following message right away. "MySQL 5.5.8 has been identified on the system. To successfully upgrade MySQL (part of Clearwell), you must run the installer under the same account that was originally used to install MySQL 5.5.8. Please login with the correct account before running the installation" So the problem is I dont know what account was used. Is there a force command to install/upgrade my version of 7.1.2 to 7.1.3. I have tried the following that someone had used to upgrade 7.1.3 to 7.1.4 and it worked but it did not work for my upgrade path and gave me same message regarding the need to login as account that origianlly insstalled software etc.. Tried this but still nothing.. ...\setup.exe /v"FORCEMYSQLUPGRADE=1" Not sure what do do now. We have searched the registry to see if we could determine a MySQL install instance but cant see to find it. Also there is no uninstall package for MySQL 5.5.8 in the control panel remove program section. MySQL is definitly on the system as I can login into it and get to the MySQL prompt via the command prompt. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ThanksInstalling Clearwell 8.2 in Windows Server 2012

The podcast is only 5 minutes long but is an interesting insight into how a large organisation is using eDiscovery Platform.

I am attempting to install Clearwell 8.2 on Windows Server 2012. I get to a point in the installation whereby it states that it is recreating database, please wait. It appears to sit there for a long period of time and not doing anything. Is this normal? Or should I be looking at something else? Please advise. Thank you.
