Get-EVClassificationTags

For the specified plain-text (.txt) file in the classification cache folder, Get-EVClassificationTags returns details of the rules that it matches and the associated classification properties and property values. You may find this useful when you create a classification rule, as the cmdlet lets you verify that the rule is operating correctly without repeatedly having to rearchive the same item.

By default, Enterprise Vault empties the cache folder at the first opportunity. However, you can configure it to retain the cache contents by choosing a setting in the Administration Console.

See Configuring Enterprise Vault to keep the classification files in the cache folder.

Get-EVClassificationTags is provided by Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin.dll, which is loaded by the Enterprise Vault Management Shell.

Syntax

Get-EVClassificationTags [-File] <string>

Parameter

Description

-File (required)

    Returns the classification details for the file ClassificationFile.txt.

  • Get-EVClassificationTags -File 'E:\EVCache\Classification\EV$90B2291D1E3417B67AB88BDDC2195091~02B5EDB8.txt'
