Testing Your Operational Archiving Deployment

1. Set up the shared directories and the configutil variables as described in the previous section.

2. Create a simple test imexpire rule file with archive as the action.

   Example:

   test.folderpattern: user/* test.messagesize: 1 test.action: archive

3. Run imexpired –d -f rule_file -utestuser and observe the output in stdout.

4. Verify if the staging directory contains *.info, *.body.txt, and *.eml files.

   If these files exist on the staging directory, then the system is working on the messaging side.

5. Invoke the AXS-One extractor command to process the files in the staging area.

6. Check the report files under the report directory.

7. Run imarchive -v -s

8. Validate the stubbed messages with a mail client.
