Applying Triggers to IM Conversations

When CA Data Protection applies a trigger to an IM conversation, imported from an archive, it handles each posted comment like an email and each file attachment as if it were an FTP file transfer.

This means that it applies each participant's policy to any comment they post or any file they attach. In practice, this means that CA Data Protection analyzes the text content of each comment for key words or phrases. For file attachments, it first checks the file name and then analyzes the text content.
