Hello,

I think u misunderstood it.

I know that transaction logs are propretery info and only server / backup
APIs might know about its format. I am searching that whether any 3rd party
can access those log files.

My goal is to retrieve a message from the transaction logs, and thus, avoid
making a client connection to Exchange to retrieve the message – to enable us
to support a “zero footprint” interface with Exchange.

Lot of e-mail archiving softwares uses this mechanism for archiving e-mails
into repository

I know that i can read all messages, if I establish a connection to exchange
server. Also Journaling creates message traffic and need a connection to the
database.
Based on the above feedbacks and assumptions, I am doing a feasiblity study
about mail store. I have see mechanisms like Volume Shadow Copy Service
(VSS), Backup API etc. VSS creates a shadow copy of the mail store and we can
restore that copy into a non - exchange repository also.

Keeps saying "without making a connection to the exchange server". How
did they intend to get the logs?


Anyway, why wouldn't they just journal the mailboxes in question.

LOL.
After thinking about this for 24 hours, I think he means he doesn't want
to touch the store.
After that point I'm pretty much out of ideas.

The logs reside on the the Exchange server. Unless your application
exploits quantum tunneling, to read them, you will need to connect to
the Exchange Server.

I think you misunderstood it. I want to read mails without making a
connecttion to exchange server.

you are connecting to/touching the exchange server.

Hello All,

I have seen the documentation of log shipping feature of exchange
server.
Exchange server creates transaction logs and keeps uncommited
records in
it.

I want to read mail messages without accessing/connecting exchange
server.
So my idea is to read tranaction logs. But right now i don't know
the file
format of that file. I think it is a JET file database /
transaction file.

I have the following doubts with log shipping:

(1) Is there any mechanism for reading these transaction logs?
(2) Can we read log file using APIs like Backup/restore,ESE / JET
,EXOLEDB
etc

I am trying some reseach on this transaction logs. Any idea is
welcome.

Thanks in advance

regards
~WLAN
