Complete the following steps to configure Import Agent to reimport documents that were removed from Perceptive Content using a retention policy.
Note: This document describes only the settings specific to importing in the DOD_XML mode. You must also configure the standard settings for Import Agent. For more information on the Import Agent configuration file, inserverImp.ini, refer to the Perceptive Content Server and Client Installation and Setup Guide for your operating system and database.
  1. In the inserverImp.ini file, configure the settings as you would normally configure Import Agent.
    Note: Because the system retains the document properties for documents you remove using a retention policy, when configuring the settings, you can ignore the document property settings in the inserverimp.ini file.
  2. In the inserverimp.ini file, ensure the following settings are configured as detailed in the Selection column.

Group Setting Selection Description
General import.mode DOD_XML Specifies the types of files that Import Agent imports and the method that Import Agent uses to gather document property values and assign them to the new documents.

When you set import.mode to DOD_XML, Import Agent imports XML files that follow DoD 5015.02-STD.

The default is INDEX_FILE.

import.directory.<n> Any valid directory Specifies the directory that Import Agent monitors for import files. You can define an unlimited number of directories by creating new, subsequently named import.directory.<n> settings.

The default is $(IMAGENOWDIR)/import.

Mode DOD_XML xml.file.ext xml Specifies for Import Agent to import XML files.

The default is xml.

  1. Ensure the XML files conform to the DoD 5015.02-STD schema. Refer to “DoD 5015.02-STD XML Example” section in this document for examples of the correct structure.
  2. Copy the XML files into the directory you configured Import Agent to monitor in the import.directory.<n> setting.
