Creating the Data Library

After the Data Library server components have been installed and configured, you must create and synchronize the Data Library before you can use its data in reports. Creating the Data Library data numerous steps that should be performed in the following sequence.

To create the Data Library:

1. Create the configuration database as described in Configuring the BlueCielo Application Manager. The configuration database contains parameters for the BlueCielo Publisher jobs.
2. Create a publishing job as described in Creating a publishing job. The publishing job synchronizes document metadata from the Meridian Enterprise vault to the Data Library.
3. Run the publishing job as described in Executing a publishing job. Executing the job performs the initial import of vault data into the Data Library.
4. Monitor the publishing job as it progresses as described in Monitoring a publishing job.
5. Schedule the publishing job to run on a periodic basis as described in Scheduling a single publishing job. Repeating the publishing job ensures that the Data Library is kept up to date with the contents of the source vault.
6. Configure email notification of the publishing job results as described in Configuring email notification (Optional). Email notifications allow you to remain informed as to the status of the Publisher updates.
7. Back up the Data Library as described in Backing up the repository.
