Understanding transfers to Meridian Enterprise

When a Project Portal user transfers documents to a Meridian Enterprise vault, the following steps are performed:

1. Collecting: Project Portal creates a list of all document modifications in the Project Portalworkspace.
2. Export: The Project Portal export processor retrieves the list of modified documents through Project Portal and determines which documents to transfer to the Meridian Enterprise vault. The Project Portal export processor then creates a briefcase and exports the documents and metadata out of the Project Portalworkspace and into the briefcase as shown in the following figure. The export processor sets the In Transit field in a SQL Server database.
3. Import: The Meridian Enterprise import processor detects the received briefcase and imports its contents into the destination vault. Upon completion, it clears the In Transit field in the SQL Server database through the GCF Remote Component and GCF Remote Access.
