Prolaw and SQL Replication – Creating, Breaking, and Updating Prolaw
Monday, January 30th, 2012 | ProLaw Case Management, Uncategorized | Mike Smith
This guide will cover the various aspects of replication for a Prolaw SQL server. If you have a replicated environment and are updating any aspects of Prolaw such as the custom tabs or updating Prolaw itself, you will need to stop replication first. You may also refer to this guide if you need to set up a replicated environment. This guide will focus on the SQL portion itself, assuming you already have the document shares replicated via DFS or other means. You may refer to other posts on this blog on how to set up test versions of Prolaw or how to install updates.

Autonomy IDOL Indexer does not index zipped file names by default
Thursday, December 15th, 2011 | iManage/ FileSite, Technical | Mike Smith
If you file a zipped archive, the name of the zip file as well as the zipped file’s contents are indexed. However, if you search for the file name of a file that is in that zip, it will not return any results. This is by default, and needs a slight adjustment on the IDOL index server.

Recovering data from Microsoft Exchange 2007
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 | Microsoft Exchange, Technical | Mike Smith
Recently, I ran into an issue where a piece of software that integrates with exchange had “merged” some of the user’s contacts resulting in many contacts going missing from the accounts. There are various ways to resolve this from backups, and I’ll mention three in this post. Due to the issues with this particular setup, I will only go into details for the third option which is what was done.

FileSite: Emails that have no header information from import
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 | iManage/ FileSite, Technical | Mike Smith
If you are migrating to, or have imported emails into FileSite, you may not have the header information imported from the email. This can include the To, From, Sent Time, and Received Time. Luckily, Autonomy has a utility to open the emails and import the header information, but it requires a decent amount of setup and testing prior to running. You will need full access to SQL and the WorkSite server for this task. You will also have to download and install the Resource Kit from Autonomy (available from their support site with login).

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 | ProLaw Case Management, Technical | Mike Smith
When your firm is updating to a new version of ProLaw, you want to thoroughly test it before you put it into production. You want to make sure any customizations you have made are not broken, all of your settings have come over, and any other important firm functionality works as expected.

FileSite folder views in Outlook displaying incorrect column headers
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 | iManage/ FileSite, Microsoft Office 2010, Technical | Mike Smith
Occasionally the views applied to various FileSite document folders become corrupt and display the incorrect information for that type of document. An example would be email-style headers such as To, From, Sent, Received being the column headers for a folder that contains letters. This will limit what you are able to see.
