Description

The Enterprise Vault (EV) SharePoint archiving task report will only show errors when processing a List/Library during the archiving run.  Items that match an archiving rule will also be displayed with the status of each file.  If a List/Library/Item is not processed during the archiving run it will not be displayed in the archiving report file. 

A Dtrace of the EvSharePointArchiveTask process will help to determine the reason a List/Library/Items were not scanned.  The log file may show that the List/Library has already been scanned and has not been updated since the last scan time.  In the snippet below from a log the Modified time shows when the List/Library was updated and the TimeStamp shows when an archiving scan was competed. 

If these times are the same then the task will not scan the path for new items.  This time stamp comparison is by design to avoid scanning paths where nothing has changed since the last completed scan.

Dtrace of the EvSharePointArchiveTask Process:

(EvSharePointArchiveTask)        <1234>        {SPListWalker.WalkFolder} Ignoring items in the list/library http://Sharepoint.domain.com/sites/Test/Lists/Announcements because the timestamp indicates that nothing has changed

The following will show in the Dtrace if the List/Library is not enabled for archiving. 

(EvSharePointArchiveTask)  <4321>  EV-H    {SPWalker.WalkSite} Ignoring items in the list/library http://Sharepoint.domain.com/sites/Testing/Lists/Announcements because the site is set to do not archive

Additionally, prior to EV 12.3.2 a Dtrace was the only method of determining if a List/Library created using a custom template was not being processed for archiving.  With Enterprise Vault 12.3.2 and above an ignored library type is logged in the SharePoint Archiving report file.
