Server Installation Features

When you install a CA DataMinder server, the following features are available:

CA DataMinder Server

Installs the CA DataMinder infrastructure, enabling the various components to run and communicate.

Enterprise Server

Enables the local computer to function as a CA DataMinder server. Exclude this feature if you want a console-only installation.

Policy Engine

Policy engines permit CA DataMinder to integrate with Microsoft Exchange and other external email sources. Policy Engines are normally installed on a gateway server. For details, see Policy engines.

Socket API

Enables you to call a policy engine from a remote location (via the External Agent API), including from a non‑Windows system. For example the CA DataMinder Network Boundary Agent uses the Socket API to analyze traffic leaving or entering the corporate network from the internet. For details, see Socket API.

Event Import

Imports emails and IM conversations from external sources such as Microsoft Exchange mailboxes.

Remote Policy Engine Connector

Installs a modified policy engine hub that enables Event Import to connect to policy engines. It is part of the Import Policy feature.

Templates

Installs predefined import configuration files. These can be customized as required—see Template configuration files.

Content Services

This installs the content proxy server and content indexer components that interact with the CA DataMinder infrastructure—see Content Services deployment.

Content Indexer Console

Lets you specify which events to index.

Content Indexer Server

Installs the indexing service to index events into a Content database.

Content Proxy Server

Installs the service that enables the iConsole or Data Management console to access a content database when running a content search.

Remote Data Manager

Enables the Data Management console to retrieve and display events archived in third party remote storage locations. This feature is normally installed on a utility machine. For details, see Remote Data Manager.

Quarantine Manager

Ensures that e‑mails released from quarantine are sent on to their original recipients.

CMS Storage Connectors

Installs the connectors needed to implement third party object storage integration.

EMC Centera Connector

Enables EMC Corporation's Centera content addressed storage (CAS) solution to integrate with CA DataMinder.

IBM Content Manager

Enables IBM DB2 Content Manager to integrate with CA DataMinder. It allows storage management, archiving and retrieval of large volumes of captured data.

Management Console

This feature enables the host system to run these consoles:

Administration Console

The Administration console enables CA DataMinder administrators to manage user accounts, machine accounts, and policies. It also enables administrators to manage scanning jobs and content agents and to view log files.

Data Management Console

The Data Management console (DMC) allows reviewers to search for, view and update the audit status for captured events.

Note: By default, only the Administration console is installed with the Management Console feature.
