Configuring Cisco Unified Presence IM Compliance

We recommend that you perform this configuration on the publisher node in your cluster.

Before You Begin

•Install and configure one or more supported external databases. Refer to the Database Setup Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.

•Configure the external databases on Cisco Unified Presence. Select Cisco Unified Presence Administration > Messaging > External Databases.

•Make sure that the trace level for the Cisco UP XCP Router service is set to info or higher.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Select Cisco Unified Presence Administration > Messaging > Compliance.

Step 2 Select Message Archiver from the Compliance Server Selection.

Step 3 (Optional) Select Enable Outbound Message Logging.

Turning on this option can degrade IM performance. Because all inbound messages are already logged, do not enable this setting unless you are using IM compliance in intercluster or federated networks.

Step 4 For each node, assign a database from the External Database option.

If you are using one external database for your cluster, assign all nodes to the same external database. If you are using more than one external database for your cluster, assign the nodes to the external databases based on your capacity requirements.

Step 5 Click Save.

Step 6 Start the Cisco UP Message Archiver service (if this service is not already started).

Step 7 Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router.

Troubleshooting Tips

•If you make any subsequent changes to the Message Archiver configuration, restart the Cisco UP XCP Router Service.

•(All releases) If you switch between IM compliance deployment options (for example, switch from the Third-Party Compliance Server option to the Message Archiver option), you must restart the Cisco UP XCP Router Service.

Turning On the Cisco UP XCP Message Archiver Service

Troubleshooting Tips

If the Cisco UP XCP Message Archiver service fails to start, but the System Troubleshooter (Cisco Unified Presence Administration > Diagnostics > System Troubleshooter) shows that the status of the external database connection is ok, we recommend that you unassign the external database from the node, and reassign it again.
