Direct Mode

This section describes how to install and deploy Import Policy in Direct mode. This is the simplest way to run the Import Policy utility, as it enables Event Import to pass events directly to the local policy engine. The policy engine analyzes these events, applying policy triggers as necessary, and then replicates the events up to the CMS.

Deploying Import Policy in direct mode is a simple two-step process. First, you must install Event Import and a policy engine on the same server, using the CA DataMinder server installation wizard—see below. Then, you must configure Event Import to pass imported emails directly to the policy engine.

Note: If a single policy engine would be too slow to process the anticipated data volumes, you can deploy Import Policy on multiple servers, with each instance importing and processing e‑mails from a separate Exchange mailbox or Notes database.
