Sharing the vault

After the vault extensions have been installed as described in Registering the Meridian Enterprise extensions , you can share the local vault and make it available to the GCF for remote calls.

To share the vault.

Open Meridian Enterprise Configurator with the vault that you want to share with GCF.

Expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.

Click the GCF Configuration tab. The GCF Configuration property page appears.

Click the Edit button in the lower right corner of the window. The page becomes editable.

Click New. The Shared Vault Details dialog box appears.

Type options using the descriptions in the following table.

Shared vault options

Shared vault type	Select BC-Meridian.
Share name	The name of the vault as you want to use it for GCF configuration, for example, PARISPROJECTS.
Remote vault name	The name of the vault as you want it to appear to GCF users, for example, ParisProjects.
Web Access root URI	The URL used to start a Web Access session with the vault, without the /Start parameter at the end. By default, this is http://<ServerName>/Meridian. To specify that a site is off-line as described in NEW Implementing a star topology, precede the URL with an underscore (_) character, for example, _http://<ServerName>/Meridian.
