Installing the subscriptions viewer

Document subscriptions are enabled by creating the subscriptions database as described in Creating a subscriptions database. The database contains the names of documents to which each user has subscribed. The subscriptions viewer allows users to view and remove their subscriptions and, with the Allow Management of Subscriptions of Others privileges, to do the same for other users.

The subscriptions viewer can be opened in PowerUser if the following conditions are met:

• The vault extension BlueCieloECM.Extensible.UI.dll is registered in Windows by a setup program.

• The option Enable BlueCielo Publisher extension is enabled on the Advanced Features page of the vault properties in Meridian Enterprise Administrator.

• The subscriptions database connection string is configured as described in Creating a subscriptions database and is valid.

• To also view the audit log (it uses the same extension), the audit log database connection string must be entered as described in the BlueCielo Meridian FDA Module Configuration Guide and BC FDA Server (M--FDS) and BC FDA Client Extension (M--FDE) licenses must be registered in Meridian Enterprise Administrator.

The subscriptions viewer is a web application that is installed with the Meridian Enterprise Web Access components but the installation must be completed manually on the web server that will run the application. We recommend installing it on the Web Access web server.

To install the subscriptions viewer:

1. On the web server, in Internet Information Services Manager, in the default website, locate the web application WebExtensibilityDBViewer.
2. Disable all authentication types except Windows Authentication.
3. Set user permissions to the viewer to meet your organization's requirements.
4. If necessary, set the identity of the DCOM service used by the viewer as described in Configuring the DCOM identity of remote services.

To test the subscriptions viewer:

1. Subscribe to one or more documents as described in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User's Guide .
2. View your subscriptions as described in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User's Guide .

Tip    By default, the subscriptions viewer can only be opened from within PowerUser as described in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User's Guide . The database connection string, user name, and user privileges are passed in the URL to the web application as encrypted data. To open the subscriptions viewer outside of PowerUser, type a connection string (without the Provider keyword) in the connectionString attribute of the BCNotesDBConnectionString setting in the appSettings section of the web.config file of the web application.
