EVF File Cache Guidelines

By default, the installation batch file sets the EVF file cache to be the \client\RDIcache subfolder of the CA DataMinder installation folder on the External Agent API machine. This folder is automatically granted the necessary Write permissions.

You can edit the registry to specify an alternative file cache location, for example, on a machine with more free disk space. For details, see the EventFilePath description in registry value in Configure the External Agent API.

How much free disk space is required? This depends on: the size of your organization’s email archive; the volume of email data removed from your e‑mail archive and converted to event files each time you start up the External Agent API (see the previous section); and the file-deletion strategy configured for Event Import.

If you do specify an alternative location, you must ensure that the target folder has Write permissions assigned to the user running the email archive indexer process. If the target folder is on a remote machine, you must specify a UNC path. For example:

\\MyMachine\share_name\target_folder
