Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting HP Autonomy EAS email archive exports.

Shortcut resolution was not enabled during the export. HP Autonomy EAS replaces archived messages in Exchange mailboxes with shortcut stubs pointing to the Autonomy content store. The export must have Retrieve Originals or Resolve Shortcuts enabled to pull full content from the EAS storage tier. Re-run the export with shortcut resolution enabled before converting.

HP Autonomy's IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer) enriches archived messages with custom metadata fields during ingestion — entity extraction, classification tags, sentiment indicators and custom fields configured by the organisation. EAS exports embed these IDOL fields in the PST or EML output. Univik HP Autonomy EAS Converter reads and preserves all IDOL-derived custom metadata fields in the converted output. For EML output they appear as X-IDOL headers. For PDF output they appear in document properties. This IDOL metadata is particularly valuable for organisations that used Autonomy's classification capabilities for regulatory hold and retention management.

Yes. Autonomy EAS journal archives contain the original journal envelope with BCC recipients and full SMTP routing data. The converter preserves this envelope in all output formats. For banks and financial institutions under SEC Rule 17a-4, CFTC and MiFID II, this BCC and SMTP data in journal envelopes is a regulatory requirement for email archive productions.

Yes. HP sold Autonomy to Micro Focus in 2017 and Micro Focus was acquired by OpenText in 2023. The EAS export format (PST and EML) has remained consistent across all three ownership periods. The converter handles EAS exports from HP-branded, Micro Focus-branded and OpenText-branded Autonomy EAS deployments identically.

No. Once PST or EML files are on local disk, no HP Autonomy EAS server, IDOL server, Autonomy Content Infrastructure or any Micro Focus / OpenText software is required. Conversion runs completely offline. This is essential for organisations where the Autonomy infrastructure has been fully decommissioned or is being retired as part of the migration project.

Yes. Convert per-mailbox EAS PSTs to MBOX. MBOX output imports into Google Workspace using Google's migration tools or BitTitan. IDOL metadata is preserved in MBOX X-headers. Journal envelope BCC data is preserved for compliance continuity in the destination platform.

Yes. EAS PSTs from legacy Autonomy storage tiers sometimes have structural anomalies that cause scanpst.exe errors. The converter reads PST content directly, bypassing Outlook's import mechanism. Corrupted items are flagged in the conversion report while all intact content is extracted successfully.
