2023 with complete solution
Primary goals of processing
•Discern, at an item level, exactly what data is found in a certain source.
•Record all item-level metadata as it existed prior to processing.
•Enable defensible reduction of data by selecting only items that are appropriate to
move forward to
review.
Processing workflow
1. Create custodians
2. Create password bank entries
3. Create processing profile
4. Create processing set
5. Inventory the data (optional)
6. Apply filters to inventory (optional)
7. Run reports on inventory (optional)
8. Discover the data
9. View, ignore, or retry errors
10. Publish documents to workspace
Worker manager server
Uses workers to perform imaging, and all phases of processing, including inventory,
discovery, and publish.
How many workers are needed for processing?
In order to process files, you need to designate at least one worker for processing.
How many worker manager servers per resource pool?
You must add the worker manager server to the resource pool associated with the
workspace that is hosting processing. You can only have one worker manager server
per resource pool.
How many processing agents does Relativity recommend?
We recommend running two Processing Set Manager agents and adding more of them
as needed.
What are the requirements for adding a processing source location?
•Source folder must be shared out
•The Relativity Service Account must have read access to the processing source
location
Minimum security permissions for Relativity Processing
•Processing set: Add, Edit, View
•Processing data source: Add, View
•Document: Add, View
•Documents Tab
•Processing Tab (parent)
•Processing Sets Tab (child)
Processing to Data Grid requirements
,•Enable Data Grid on the workspace
•Enable Data Grid on the extracted text size field
Is there a SQL Text Index on Extracted Text stored in Data Grid?
No. You have to build a dtSearch index.
Can you enable Data Grid for fields that already have SQL text?
No. This works for new workspaces only. If you want to migrate fields from SQL to Data
Grid, you must use the Data Grid Migration application.
What is the Data Grid Migration application?
Tool used to migrate fields from SQL to Data Grid that already have text in SQL.
Custodian fields
•Processing data source
•Status
•Source path
•Time zone
Can you delete a custodian that is associated with a processing data source?
No
Extraction of embedded images or objects is not supported for which file types?
•Visio
•Project
•OpenOffice
Does Relativity extract embedded objects or images that were added to files as links?
No
Can Relativity distinguish between text and line art in documents?
Yes. Processing will only OCR the line art. Relativity doesn't skip OCR if a page has
electronic text
On which file formats does Relativity perform both Native Text Extraction and OCR?
•Images (TIFF/JPEG/GIF/BMP/PNG etc.)
•Vectors (SVG, CAD files, Metafiles [WMF, EMF], Postscript, Encapsulated postscript)
•PDF, Visio, Publisher, MS Project, Hancom and JungUm files
Notable unsupported file types
•DOS, Windows, and Mac word processors
•Disk Images: Symantec and FTK

•Self-extracting RAR
•PEM certificates
•Apple iWorks suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote)
•iCloud backup files
•Microsoft Access
•Raw partition files (ISO, NTFS, HFS)
Can Relativity process multipart zip files?
No
How many levels down does Relativity Inventory drill?
Inventory only extracts data from first-level documents. For example, you have a .ZIP
within a .ZIP that contains an email with an attached Word document, inventory only
extracts up to the email.
How does Relativity Processing handle NSF files?
,Relativity Processing extracts the contents of NSF files and puts them into individual
MSG files. This is because NSF doesn't have its own individual document entry file
format. All of the original Lotus Notes metadata is embedded in the MSG.
What NSF items can Relativity process?
•Contacts
•Distribution lists
•Calendar items
•Emails and non-emails
How are ICS/VCF files deduplicated?
ICS/VCF files are deduplicated not as emails but as loose files based on the SHA256
hash.
What is the ICS file format?
An ICS file is a calendar file saved in a universal calendar format used by several email
and calendar programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple
Calendar
What is the VCF file format?
A VCF file is a standard file format for storing contact information for a person or
business. It typically includes a name, address, phone number, email address, and
other contact information
