Steps

Description

Install Classification Server.

Install the Classification Server and associate it to a Collector that is mapped to the data source whose content you want to classify.

If you are deploying a Classification Server pool and map the Collector node to the server pool instead of to single Classification Server, see Associating a Classification Server pool to a Collector in Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.

For information about installing Classification Server, see Data Insight Installation Guide

For information about mapping a Classification Server to a Collector, see Assigning Classification Server to a Collector in Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.

In Veritas Information Classifier, configure policies, patterns, or tags. Enable or disable the policies, as required.

You can access Veritas Information Classifier from Settings > Classification > Policy Manager.

For information on how to configure policies, patterns, and tags, see the Veritas Information Classifier Online Help.

Configure classification from the Management Console.

See Configuring classification.

From Data Insight, initiate a request to classify files.

You can submit classification request from one of the following pages on the Data Insight Console:

  • Reports tab

    Note:

    You can only submit files for classification using the Data Insight Query Language (DQL) report. It is recommended that you use the DQL classification template to build the query.

  • Settings > Classification > Requests

  • Workspace tab

See Initiating classification.

Review and monitor the status of the files submitted for classification.

See Viewing classification status.

Review the classified information.

You can view the tags that are applied to the classified files.

The tags can be retrieved using the Data Insight Query Language (DQL) report, or can be viewed on the Workspace tab. You can filter the tags of your interest from the right-hand panel.

See Viewing classification tags.

(Optional) Send the classification tags to Enterprise Vault. These tags are used by Enterprise Vault when it indexes and archives the files.

To archive the files along with the tags, you must push the tags to Enterprise Vault from Data Insight.

See Pushing classification tags while archiving files into Enterprise Vault.

You can review the tags applied to the files archived in Enterprise Vault, from Enterprise Vault console.

For more information about how to view the tags, see the Enterprise Vault documentation.
