Configuring the general settings

The settings in the Settings section are used by the Meridian Enterprise processors. This section is described in the following table:

General settings
Setting	Description
Machine	The name of the computer running the EDM Server service for the configured vault.
Datastore	The datastore name of the vault. This is displayed in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator in the column labelled Name when the EDM Server is selected in the configuration tree.
Vault	The Web Access location name of the vault. This is displayed in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator in the column labeled Name when Web Access is selected in the configuration tree.
Password	This will be used as the briefcase password for all briefcases generated by the GCF. Setting a password on the briefcases provides an additional level of security. The password setting should be the same for all vaults in a collaborating group of sites.
Email	The email address to which error reports will be sent. Multiple addresses can be typed by separating them with semicolons.
SMTPServer	If the computer running the Meridian Enterprise processors is not configured with an SMTP mail service, this setting can be used to specify a different computer that should be used for sending error reports. If omitted, the current computer is assumed to be the SMTP server. See also the SMTP settings section described below.
MailFrom	The email address from which the error reports are sent.
MaxLogFiles	The Meridian Enterprise processors will generate a log file for each day that contains status messages and error messages. This setting specifies how many log files should be kept. If the number of log files exceeds this setting, the oldest log files will be deleted. We recommend a value of 250.
Template	The name of the briefcase template to use for GCF briefcases. Note In Global Collaboration Framework version 1, this should always be GCF.
IncludeWorkAreas	When set to True, documents in the work areas of the vault are replicated. Assignments of documents to work areas and releases of documents from work areas are also replicated.
TransferThumbnails	When set to True, replicates thumbnail images. This feature requires that briefcases in an open standard format be used. For more information on configuring briefcase formats, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
