File Scanning Agent (FSA)

You can use the FSA Job Definition Wizard to associate scanned files with specific CA Data Protection users. Fill in the following fields in the second to last screen of the wizard.

Which user policy is applied?

This is determined by the following options in the wizard.

Use default policy for files

If this option is selected, the default policy for files is applied to scanned files.

Use policy of specified user

If this option is selected, the specified user policy is applied to scanned files.

If this scanning job element cannot be resolved, the policy engine applies a default policy.

Searching by user

(Optional) To enable reviewers to search for scanned files by user, you must associate a single event participant with each scanned file. This means, each file is associated with the same participant. This is determined by the following option in the wizard.

Associated Participant

This option defines a valid email address of a CA Data Protection user.

If this scanning job element cannot be resolved, the file has unspecified participants so CA Data Protection associates it with the source machine.

As with Event Import, linked tables in the CMS database then enable CA Data Protection to map these email addresses onto existing CA Data Protection user accounts.
