Configure IBM Content Collector

After installing the Content Collector archive agent, you must configure Content Collector to enable Task Routes to call the CA Data Protection web service API. The steps are summarized below:

1. Add User-Defined Metadata for Web Service Requests and Responses.

   You must add user-defined metadata entities for all data sent in web service requests and returned by web service responses. Specifically, you must create user-defined metadata entities to define the web service request and response parameters.

   Specifically, you must add the following metadata entities:

   • CA Data Protection Import Analyze Request Metadata
   • CA Data Protection Import Commit Request Metadata
   • CA Data Protection Import Metadata Response Metadata

   For each metadata entity, you must define its properties and GUID.

2. Set up the CA Data Protection Task Routes

   The Content Collector archive agent includes three task route templates for integrating CA Data Protection into your email collection task routes. You must create new task routes based on these templates and apply the metadata that you added in step 1 to these task routes.

   Note: The three Task Route templates collect emails from Microsoft Exchange IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange, and SMTP messaging systems.

   For each task route, you must:

   1. Edit the properties of the CA Data Protection Analyze Request task.

      In particular, you must define the property mappings for this task.

   2. Edit the properties of the subsequent Audit Log task.
   3. Edit the properties of the CA Data Protection Commit Request task.
   4. Edit the properties of the subsequent Audit Log task.
   5. In the Error task route, edit the properties of the CA Data Protection Rollback Request task.
   6. Configure the task route collector.
   7. Activate the task route.
