<section2 topic='Exact JID Matching' anchor='impl-exactmatch'>
<p>When the 'exactmatch' attribute is set to "true" or "1" on an element of &lt;item/&gt;, &lt;list/&gt;, or &lt;remove/&gt;, a 'with' value such as "example.com" matches that exact JID only rather than &lt;*@example.com&gt;, &lt;*@example.com/*&gt;, or &lt;example.com/*&gt;, and a 'with' value such as "localpart@example.com" matches that exact JID only rather than &lt;localpart@example.com/*&gt;.</p>
<section2 topic='JID Matching' anchor='impl-jidmatch'>
<p>&lt;list/&gt;, &lt;remove/&gt; commands and &lt;item/&gt; element in archiving preferences require the ability to match multiple collections by given JID. Therefore, the following rules apply.</p>
<ol>
<li>If the JID is of the form &LOCALFULL;, only this particular JID matches.</li>
<li>If the JID is of the form &LOCALBARE;, any resource matches.</li>
<li>If the JID is of the form &DOMAINBARE;, any node matches.</li>
</ol>
<p>However, having these rules only would make impossible a match like "all collections having JID exactly equal to bare JID/domain JID". Therefore, when the 'exactmatch' attribute is set to "true" or "1" &BOOLEANNOTE; on the &lt;list/&gt;, &lt;remove/&gt; or &lt;item/&gt; element, a JID value such as "example.com" matches that exact JID only rather than &lt;*@example.com&gt;, &lt;*@example.com/*&gt;, or &lt;example.com/*&gt;, and a JID value such as "localpart@example.com" matches that exact JID only rather than &lt;localpart@example.com/*&gt;.</p>

<section2 topic='Time Synchronization' anchor='impl-sync'>
<p>When creating a new collection, it is RECOMMENDED that the client synchronizes the collection start time that it sends to the server with server time. This is important since the user may subsequently retrieve the archived collection using client machines whose UTC clocks are not synchronized with the client machine that uploaded the collection. (i.e. Either or both of the clients' UTC clocks may be wrong.) The client can achieve this synchronization with server time by using &xep0202; to estimate the difference between the server and client UTC clocks.</p>

<section2 topic='Storage Considerations' anchor='impl-storage'>
<p>Server implementations SHOULD give system administrators the option to disable support for both automatic and manual archiving, since archived conversations can consume significant storage space.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Conversations Tracking In Automatic Archiving' anchor='impl-convtracking'>
<p>When starting automatic archiving for a new conversation, it is possible that the initial message might not be enough to determine the full JID of the recipient. For example, if the conversation is initiated by a client whose server performs automatic archiving and that client does not know which full JID it ought to use for the recipient, it will send the initial message to bare JID. As a result, automatic archiving will create a collection that is identified by the bare JID of the recipient.</p>
<p>However, once the client receives a reply from the contact, it knows the full JID of the recipient. At that point, the initial collection can be adjusted, changing the bare JID to the full JID of the recipient.</p>
<p>The server SHOULD attempt to perform conversation tracking and JID adjustment to ensure that the identifying JID for the collection reflects the actual full JID used during conversation rather than initial bare JID used when the conversation started. However, the server MAY use the bare JID for the collection if there is evidence that the conversation involves several different full JIDs, such as receiving messages from different full JIDs with the same &lt;thread/&gt; element.</p>
