Installing the Meridian API Service

The Meridian API Service is the key to enabling the BlueCielo Mobile App. With it, users can find, view, and participate in document workflows from anywhere on your LAN with mobile devices. You install the Meridian API Service on the Meridian Enterprise web server with a Windows Installer package.

Note The service will be installed under the Default Web Site as the application M360.Meridian. The files will be installed at C:\Inetpub\M360 Meridian API Service by default.

Before you begin

Download the installation package from the BlueCielo Self Service Center.
The service requires the following components be installed in advance:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
- Microsoft Internet Information Services
- BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise EDM Server

To install the Meridian API Service interactively:

On the Meridian web server, start M360MeridianApiServiceSetup.msi. The setup wizard welcome page appears.
Click Next. The IIS Application Pool page appears.
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

IIS Application Pool options
Option	Description
User name	Type the name of a domain account to assign to the application pool M360.Meridian under which the service will run. This account must be the same account under which the Meridian EDM Server service runs. For more information about the requirements of this account, see Granting domain privileges with a service account.
Password	Type the password for the account

Click Next. A progress page appears while the service is installed. When the installation is complete, the final page appears.
Click Finish. The setup wizard closes.
If the Meridian web server is a separate computer from the Meridian application server (EDM Server component installed), set the IP address of the Meridian application server in the Edm.ServerAddress setting in the web.config file of the web application.
