Register the EV Archive Agent

The EV archive agent is a custom filter for Exchange or Domino journaling tasks that works with Enterprise Vault. After installing the EV archive agent, you must manually register this filter with Enterprise Vault. To do this, edit the registry on the agent host machine.

To register the EV archive agent

On the Enterprise Vault server, you need to modify certain registry values.
The required registry key depends on whether the host server is running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Details about the supported operating systems are in Integration Requirements.
32-bit versions of Windows Server
If archiving Exchange emails, locate or create this registry key:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault
  \External Filtering\Journaling
```
If archiving Domino emails, locate or create this registry key:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault
  \External Filtering\Lotus Journaling
```
64-bit versions of Windows Server
If archiving Exchange emails, locate or create this registry key:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault
  \External Filtering\Journaling
```
If archiving Domino emails, locate or create this registry key:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault
  \External Filtering\Lotus Journaling
```
In all cases, if the \Journaling or \Lotus Journaling registry key does not already exist, you must create it.
Within this registry key, add a new string value with these details:
Name: Set this to be an integer such as 1, 2 or 3. The number determines the filter processing order, with registry value 1 processed first. But see the warning below.

Type: REG_SZ

Data: The required data depends on whether Enterprise Vault is archiving Exchange or Domino emails. If archiving:
- Exchange emails, set this registry value to:
```
WgnEVFilter.WgnEnterpriseVaultFilter
```
- Domino emails, set this registry value to:
```
<path>\WgnSEV.dll!WgnSEVLD.WgnSevLDfilter
```
  Where <path> is the full path to WgnSEV.dll, for example:
```
c:\program files\CA\CA DataMinder\client\WgnSEV.dll!WgnSEVLD.WgnSevLDfilter 
```
In both cases, keep the uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown for the filter elements (the path element for Domino emails is case-insensitive).

Important! It is essential that the EV archive agent is processed before the Compliance Accelerator Journaling Connector. This means that when defining numeric registry values, the EV archive agent must have a lower number than the Journaling Connector.

For example, if the Journaling Connector is already assigned to registry value ‘1’ you must rename this value to ‘2’ and create a new value ‘1’ for the EV archive agent. To identify which numeric registry value is associated with the Journaling Connector, look for a value whose data is set to KVS.Accelerator.Plugin.Filter.

Example Enterprise Vault registry values

In this example, the filter for the EV archive agent is assigned to registry value ‘1’. Enterprise Vault is archiving Exchange emails so the registry value data is set to:
```
WgnEVFilter.WgnEnterpriseVaultFilter
```
If Exchange or Domino journaling tasks use multiple filters, you must decide in which order the EV archive agent is processed—but see the warning above.
Restart all Exchange or Domino journaling tasks on the Enterprise Vault server.
This completes the registration of the EV archive agent. Now you must configure the EV archive agent, the hub, and the policy engines. See the following sections for details.
