[Filter] section of the Policy Manager initialization file

Include this section to specify a group of settings to apply to folders within mailboxes. You then apply this setting by specifying the filter name in the [Folder] section.

Note:

The [Filter] section must be specified before the [Folder] section in the initialization file.

ALargeItemThresholdPeriod

Optional. This setting is equivalent to the number that you select for Never archive items younger than on the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

If you use this setting, you must specify Name = mailboxroot in the [Folder] section that references the filter.

If you specify ALargeItemThresholdPeriod, you must also set values for all the following:

  • UseInactivityPeriod (must be set to true)

  • APrioritizeLargeItems

  • APrioritizeItemsOver

  • ALargeItemThresholdUnits

Possible values:

  • A positive integer

ALargeItemThresholdUnits

Optional. This setting is equivalent to the units entry for Never archive items younger than on the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

If you use this setting, you must specify Name = mailboxroot in the [Folder] section that references the filter.

If you specify ALargeItemThresholdUnits, you must also set values for all the following:

  • UseInactivityPeriod (must be set to true)

  • APrioritizeLargeItems

  • APrioritizeItemsOver

  • ALargeItemThresholdPeriod

Possible values:

  • Days

  • Weeks

  • Months

  • Years

APrioritizeItemsOver

Optional. This setting is equivalent to the size that you select for Start with items larger than on the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

If you use this setting, you must specify Name = mailboxroot in the [Folder] section that references the filter.

If you specify APrioritizeItemsOver, you must also set values for all the following:

  • UseInactivityPeriod (must be set to true)

  • APrioritizeLargeItems

  • ALargeItemThresholdUnits

  • ALargeItemThresholdPeriod

Possible values:

  • An integer that specifies the size of items in KB to which you want to give priority

APrioritizeLargeItems

Optional. This setting is equivalent to the Start with items larger than option on the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

If you use this setting, you must specify Name = mailboxroot in the [Folder] section that references the filter.

If you specify APrioritizeLargeItems, you must also set values for all the following:

  • UseInactivityPeriod (must be set to true)

  • APrioritizeItemsOver

  • ALargeItemThresholdUnits

  • ALargeItemThresholdPeriod

Possible values:

  • true

  • false

CreateShortcut

Mandatory. Specifies whether Enterprise Vault is to create shortcuts to items that are archived from the folder to which this filter is applied.

Possible values:

  • true

This is the same as the Archive items when they are older than setting in the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

Possible values:

  • An integer between 0 and 500

InactivityUnits

Optional, but mandatory when you set UseInactivityPeriod to true. Valid only when you specify UseInactivityPeriod. When you use this setting, you must specify it with InactivityPeriod to indicate how long an item can remain unmodified before it is eligible for archiving.

  • Months

  • Years

QPrioritizeItemsOver

Optional. This setting is equivalent to the Start with items larger than size entry on the Archiving Rules tab of the Exchange Mailbox Policy dialog box.

If you use this setting, you must specify Name = mailboxroot in the [Folder] section that references the filter.

If you specify QPrioritizeItemsOver, you must also set values for the following:
