Batch Pause (minutes)

Batch Item Delay (milliseconds)

Yes

The delay between processing two items to reduce processor load (in milliseconds)

Chunk Size

Yes

The (max) chunk size of the selected items inserted at once

Spider Threshold (days)

Yes

The maximum idle time of an Outlook client before a server-side process triggers automatic archiving for the user mailbox

Automatic archiving is usually triggered by a process that is run by the Outlook Add-In. However, in scenarios where a user may be absent or simply not start the Outlook client for a long time, this mechanism ensures that archiving takes place nevertheless with the following ramifications: the corresponding archived items are not present in the Outlook Client cache and opening an affected item for the first time is subject to retrieval latency.

Consider the following values:

If Spider Threshold = -1: Spider should not select any mailbox (only valid for archiving policies)

If Spider Threshold = 0: Spider should select every mailbox

For compliance policy settings, the Spider Threshold parameter is set in minutes.

Timestamp Tolerance (seconds)

Yes

The timestamp tolerance to accept two timestamps as equal (in seconds)

This is required because of operating system latency when processing modification times of cached items. If no tolerance is accepted, this will effectively disable caching.

Maximum Open Failed

Yes

The maximum number of allowed open failed actions in Spider processing before a mailbox will be excluded from batch processing

Limit Archive Cache

N/A

The flag signals if the archive cache will be limited during the specified period.

If this is active, specify the start date using the Received Since field or the period using the Received Within the Last Days field.

Completeness Threshold (%)

Yes

Available only for final archive policy settings

Threshold to mark the “final archive” process for the mailbox as complete (versus incomplete)
