CA DLP can integrate with IBM DB2 CommonStore for Exchange. Integration with IBM DB2 CommonStore is provided through the Universal Adapter (UA). For the purposes of this type of integration, the Universal Adapter ingests e‑mails from one or more Exchange Journals and outputs them, each with a unique ID, to one or more Exchange mailboxes. IBM DB2 CommonStore for Exchange can then archive the emails.
The UA also outputs the same emails to an event cache for subsequent import into the CMS, via Import Policy. The import operation ensures that policy is applied to events corresponding to e‑mails in the archive. The archived emails can be subsequently retrieved by reviewers using CA DLP consoles, retrieving e‑mail content from the IBM DB2 Content Manager if the CMS remote data cache does not contain a copy.
The diagram below shows a typical deployment of IBM DB2 CommonStore for Exchange.

Emails from one or more MS Exchange Journals (1a) are ingested into the Universal Adapter (2) where they are each given a unique ID, stored as a property of the email. An Outlook client is also installed on the UA machine (2).
The UA outputs the emails to one or more MS Exchange mailboxes (1b), where they are then extracted by IBM DB2 CommonStore for Exchange (4) and subsequently archived by IBM DB2 Content Manager (5).
The UA (2) also outputs the same emails to an EVF cache for Event Import (3a) on the Import Policy host server (3). Import Policy processes the events corresponding to the emails (3b, 3c) and replicates them up to the CMS (6).
Reviewers can use the iConsole (7) to request events. If e‑mail content is not currently held on the CMS (6a), RDM (6b) can retrieve it from the IBM archive (5a) via the CA DLP IBM Content Manager Interface (6c).
