Benefits

Enabling the report and having it placed in the end user's email client may be better than the automatic application of error categories or labels to the email client items that were not synced. That is because

  • The report provides more information than the error categories or labels do. The report makes it easier to isolate the sync cycle activities that led to those errors.

    • At least some of the types of issues described in the report can be resolved by an end user without having to ask the administrator for help. Examples: having forgotten to set a category on an email or having forgotten to set a field on a contact record.

    • If a user needs the administrator's intervention, forwarding the report to the administrator generally gives the administrator enough information to resolve the problem without having to access the sync server to refer to the sync logs.

  • End users who find it disturbing to see error categories or labels applied to email system items will find the report less intrusive.

  • When the issues have been resolved, deleting the report is less work than cleaning up the error categories or labels, especially if there are many errors.

  • Primary entity name (user name in the form of an email address).

Impact on Error Categories or Labels

If the report is enabled, error categories or labels are not applied to the email system items that are in error.

 

Location of the Riva Item Issues Summary Report

The report is synced to the email client of the syncing user whose sync encountered one or more errors.

  • For Exchange 2013 or higher, the report is synced by default to the Riva Item Issues subfolder of the Sync Issues folder, which is both generated by Riva in Outlook.
  • For earlier versions of Exchange, the report is synced by default to the Riva Item Issues folder at the top level of the mailbox.
  • The Riva Item Issues folder or subfolder can be renamed, as described in the following procedure.

Enabling and Configuring the Riva Item Summary Report

To enable and configure the Riva Item Issues Summary Report in Riva 2.4.48 or higher:

  • Configure the following advanced options for a sync policy:

    Sync.Crm.ItemErrorSummaryDocument.Enabled = true (Enables the creation of Riva Item Issues Summary Reports for the policy. Default: false.)

    Sync.Crm.ItemErrorSummaryDocument.ErrorLimit = max, where max is the maximum number of issues that may be included in a summary report. Default: 5000.

    Sync.Crm.ItemErrorSummaryDocument.FolderName = name, where name is the name of the folder or subfolder that is to store the Riva Item Issues Summary reports. Default: Riva Item Issues.

    Results:

    • When items cannot be synced to the CRM, a report is produced.

    • The folder or subfolder that stores the reports is created in the email client when the first report is produced.

    • Error categories or labels are not applied to the items that are in error. The report generation replaces the use of categories or labels.

Note: No email notifications are sent to the end user's or administrator's Inbox. The report is stored on the end user's client at the configured location.
