Actions on data
Actions are preconfigured options that help you to manage data objects that are contained within infosets.
Note: Actions must be created and defined within IBM®
StoredIQ® Administrator by the administrator. They can be scheduled to run immediately or later. If an action is not available within IBM
StoredIQ Data Workbench, contact your administrator. Depending on the volume type, action limitations might apply. For more information, see Action limitations for volume types.
Actions are applied to the document version that is available at the time of execution.
Within IBM
StoredIQ Data Workbench, you can take these actions on data objects within infosets:
- Basic Move
- A move action moves data objects from one location to another. When you are moving an object, the designated location must be specified.
- Basic Copy
- A copy action copies data objects from a source volume to a destination volume.
- Retention Copy
- This action copies data objects from a source to a retention location for a specified retention period.
- Discovery Export
- This action copies data objects and generates files for loading into third-party legal review tools.
- Delete
- This action removes data objects from the source volumes.
- Only data objects, not directories, are deleted.
- Use caution when you are deleting data objects.
- Delete actions are limited to system level objects. If a responsive object targeted for deletion is within a container object (such as a .zip or .tar file), the container level object is the object that is deleted. Thus, any other objects within the container file are also deleted. The respective logging information reflects the container level object, indicating success or failure or the action.
- A Delete action on a responsive object attached to a CIFS based .msg, .eml, or .pst file also results in the container object being deleted including any other objects attached to or contained within the container object. The respective logging information reflects the container level object, indicating success or failure or the action.
- Delete actions are supported only for specific volume types.
- Modify Attribute
- This action changes the access mode for files in an infoset on CIFS and NFS data sources as defined to read-only or to read/write.
- Step-up Analytics
- Step-up Analytics runs a selected cartridge on an infoset. IBM StoredIQ examines all documents in the infoset, applies the analytics that is contained in the cartridge to the document, and then stores the analysis results in the IBM StoredIQ index.
- Step-up Full-Text
- The Step-up Full-Text index is applied against a specified infoset. For each object within the infoset, a full-text index is created unless the corresponding file on the data source has metadata that no longer matches the object's metadata. It does not affect the membership of the infoset or its metadata in any way. Step-up Full-Text is audited in the policy audits on the data server.
- Step-up Snippet
- The Step-up Snippet is applied against a specific infoset. For each object within the infoset, a short capture of the contents of that object is created. It does not affect the membership of the infoset or its metadata in any way. Step-up Snippet is audited in the policy audits on the data server. Snippets are commonly used by the auto-classification feature.
