Archiving problem after upgrading EmailXtender

Yesterday, I upgraded EmailXtender to the latest version. When I tried to archive messages today using a distribution list, nothing happened. I just got a message after 4-5 seconds that the task is completed. Archiving works fine when I choose a mailbox. Anyone else got this problem?

    Hi Maffy,

    Did you check the timestamp of your DLC file?

    I still have the same problem after copying the DLC file back into the EmailXtender folder.

    The DLC file is missing. When I first installed EmailXtender, I got a DLC file from EMC. I will try to copy the file back into the EmailXtender directory.

    Hi Maffy,

    Your DLC file has to be refreshed every 24 hours. It contains information about the Distribution Lists in your Organisation. Copying an old version of the file will not help. To refresh the DLC manually you can use RefreshDLC.exe, a utility included with the EX software.

    Hope this helps,

    Kind regards,

    Duncan

    When I first installed EmailXtender, no DLC file was created. I contacted EMC support and they sent me a DLC file, that I have been using since last year.

    I tried to use RefreshDLC.exe, but no DLC file is created. Any suggestions what could be the problem?

    Regards

    Hi Maffy,

    You could try to stop the Address Rule Service, then delete the DLC file, and the restart all EX services. I don't know how large your environment is, but it can take a while (up to 8 hours) for the DLC file to be created. If the file still isn't created, you could remove the connection mailbox, activate the changes, re-add the connection mailbox, and activate the changes once more. After that the file should be created.

    Hope this helps,

    Regards,

    Duncan

    When I first installed EmailXtender, no DLC file was created. I contacted EMC support and they sent me a DCL file, that I have been using since last year.

    I tried to use RefreshDLC.exe, but no DLC file is created. Any suggestions what could be the problem?

    Maffy,

    Hope all is well.

    The EmailXtender.dlc file is created on each EmailXtender environment, and is unique to each environment as well. Therefore, it is unlikely that emc support would provide you with a EmailXtender.dlc file.

    The DLC file is a file that is kept local to the emailxtender system to help brake down the members of the distribution lists within the environment.

    Best method to attempt to resolve this issue would be to rename the current EmailXtender.dlc to Emailxtender.dlc.old and restart the EmailXtender Address rule service.

    I would then keep a close eye on the status of the OTG Event log for indication of any possible failures.

    Post them here if you're running into issues, or open a support ticket and have one of our TSEs assist you.

    Thanks,

    Chris
