What Gets Preserved
Every piece of information in your GlobalRelay export is carried through to the output format without loss.
Key Features
Every feature is designed around how GlobalRelay structures its archive exports.
Bloomberg Message & Multi-Channel Support
GlobalRelay archives email, Bloomberg Message, ICE Chat, Refinitiv Eikon, Microsoft Teams, SMS and social media. The converter processes all channel types from the PST or EML export, identifying each by its channel type in the compliance metadata CSV.
Compliance Metadata CSV
Reads the compliance metadata CSV included in every GlobalRelay export. This file records review status, retention category, compliance flags and channel type for each message. The converter embeds this data in the output for FINRA Rule 3110, SEC Rule 17a-4 and IIROC regulatory productions.
PST and EML Both Supported
Handles both GlobalRelay export formats: PST (one per custodian) and EML (individual EML files). Converts either to MBOX, PDF, MSG or any other format. The compliance metadata CSV is read alongside both export types for regulatory traceability.
Batch Multi-Custodian Conversion
Load all custodian PST or EML exports at once. Converts the entire organisation in a single pass producing one output file per custodian. The compliance metadata CSV is cross-referenced per custodian for completeness verification across all channel types.
Retention Category Preservation
GlobalRelay assigns retention categories to archived messages based on regulatory requirements (e.g., 7-year FINRA retention, 3-year for general business). The converter reads and preserves retention category labels from the compliance CSV in output metadata for continuity in the destination platform.
100% Offline Processing
Runs entirely on your Windows PC after downloading the GlobalRelay export. No GlobalRelay portal login, no API connection and no internet access required. Compliance data including flagged messages never leaves the local conversion environment.
Channel Segregation Filter
Filter the output by channel type. Extract only email messages, only Bloomberg Message transcripts or only ICE Chat conversations from a combined GlobalRelay export. Essential when producing specific channel data in response to targeted FINRA or SEC requests.
Preview with Compliance Status
Browse all messages before converting. The preview shows each message's compliance status, retention category and channel type from the metadata CSV. Filter to flagged-only or specific channel types for targeted regulatory response exports.
Compliance CSV Validation
Cross-references every converted message against the GlobalRelay compliance metadata CSV. Any discrepancy between the inventory and the converted output is flagged before the archive is used in regulatory production.
Full Header Preservation
All email headers survive: standard headers, GlobalRelay X-headers, original channel-specific metadata headers and routing information. Critical for maintaining legal admissibility of GlobalRelay-archived communications.
Regulatory PDF Production
Convert GlobalRelay exports to PDF with compliance metadata embedded in document properties. Review status, retention category and channel type appear in PDF metadata. Ready for FINRA, SEC, IIROC and MiFID II examination response packages.
Conversion Report
Generates a detailed report linking each converted message to its compliance status, channel type and retention category. Provides the evidence trail for demonstrating supervisory completeness during FINRA, SEC or IIROC examinations.
Complete Preservation
All message metadata, headers and structural information carried intact from GlobalRelay to your target format.

Common questions about converting GlobalRelay email archive exports.
Both GlobalRelay export formats: (1) PST — one per custodian; (2) EML — individual EML files per message. The converter also reads the compliance metadata CSV GlobalRelay includes in every export, recording review status, retention category, compliance flags and channel type for each message.
Yes. GlobalRelay converts Bloomberg Message, ICE Chat, Refinitiv Eikon, Teams and other non-email channels to EML representation. The converter processes all channel types, identifying each from the compliance metadata CSV. Channel type is preserved in the output metadata so Bloomberg and ICE Chat remain distinguishable from email in the converted archive.
Yes. The converter reads the compliance metadata CSV and embeds review status, retention category, compliance flags and channel type in all output formats. For PDF, these fields appear in document properties. For EML, they appear as X-headers. For FINRA Rule 3110, SEC Rule 17a-4 and IIROC examinations, this metadata directly answers regulators' questions about supervision completeness and retention category applicability.
GlobalRelay assigns retention categories to archived messages based on regulatory requirements — for example, FINRA 7-year retention for business communications, 3-year for general correspondence, or specific categories mandated by SEC Rule 17a-4. These categories determine how long each message must be kept. Univik GlobalRelay Converter preserves retention category labels in the output metadata so the destination platform (e.g., Microsoft 365 Purview Compliance) can maintain the correct retention policies after migration.
No. Once the export package is downloaded from GlobalRelay, the converter requires no GlobalRelay portal login, no API key and no internet access. All conversion runs locally on your Windows machine. Compliance data including flagged messages never leaves the local environment.
Yes. The converter reads channel type from the compliance metadata CSV and exposes it as a filter in the preview interface. Select Bloomberg Message, ICE Chat, email or any other channel type to limit the conversion to that channel. Essential when producing specific channel data in response to targeted FINRA or SEC examination requests.
