Archive policies: Policy affects other databases than person's mail-database? Lotus Expert needed?

Hi,

I am using policies to setup server-based archiving for mail-databases.

I have observed that the server archives databases in addition to those referred to from Person documents. Common to these databases is that they are based on mail-templates, but are not considered personal mail-databases. The following questions arrise:

  1. How does Domino decide which database to do archiving on? Or, in other words, how is a mail-database identified?

  2. How is the connection between an Archive Policy document and a database other than the one referred to in the Person document made?

Any idea anyone? This is probably one for a Lotus Expert.

I believe this is the answer.

Mail-databases have a profile document “calendarprofile”.

Therein there is the item “Owner”.

The database will take the archive settings specified in the Profile of the person given as Owner.

Other databases, maybe based on a mail-template, that have the profile document will behave as mail-database with respect to Archive policies.

I deleted the “calendarprofile” using the following LotusScript:

Sub Initialize

Set session= New NotesSession

Set ws = New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim db As notesdatabase

Set db = session.currentdatabase

Dim prof As NotesDocument

Set prof = db.GetProfileDocument( "calendarprofile" )

Call prof.Remove( True )

Messagebox "Profile deleted." ,MB_OK, "Title"

End Sub
