Problem

Some files are not getting archived from a file server target using Enterprise Vault (EV) File System Archiving (FSA). 

Error Message

A Dtrace of the EvFsaArchivingTask process on the EV server will show the following when the file is processed.  

Hardcoded Processing Rule Failure, reason: The file: \\?\UNC\Fileserver.EV.LOCAL\Volume\Folder\SubFolder\47AD432B.doc will not be archived as it is a temporary file.

For more information on Dtrace refer to the Related articles section.  

Cause

Bases on the hardcoded processing rules, by default, EV does not archive files that have a Temporary attribute applied.  

Below is an example of how the attribute 'T' is shown under file properties > Details tab via Windows explorer.

Solution

If it is necessary to archive the file, the Temporary attribute will have to be removed so that EV can process the file for archiving.
