Creating and maintaining vaults

The Meridian Enterprise database format is invisible to the user. The vault looks and behaves the same no matter whether it uses the Hypertrieve, SQL Server, or Oracle database engines. Meridian allows for multiple active vaults so that, for example, different departments can have their own vaults to store documents. This can be more efficient than using a single large vault because it allows each vault to have different document naming conventions, folder structures, and workflows that may be unique to each department. By using multiple vaults, each department can retain its own standards and procedures, rather than conforming to a single vault configuration that attempts to meet the needs of all departments. In general, one folder structure (Field-Path definition) applies to each vault. See the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide for information on configuring folder storage structures.

Vaults are created and maintained with the Meridian Enterprise Administrator tool.
