You may not see the option to open an archive database after upgrading to Verse On-Premises 1.0.8.
If you have a “simple” solution where you have a manually created archive DB of your mail (without applying the policy), you probably won’t see this new option to open it to the VOP as described here LINK.
I solved this issue with HCL support and this is a bug on which request VERSE-57616 was created.
There will be a VOP 1.0.8a deliverable in the coming weeks that will include the fix for this issue.
More details:
The bug is due to the fact that the code was expecting there to be an Archive Settings policy document assigned to the user. If there was no archive Setting policy document assigned to the user, VOP would not show any archives.
You can work around this issue by assigning an Archive Settings policy document to the user.
