BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2017 Administrator's Guide

Integrating with a separate SQL Server computer

Meridian can be integrated with a SQL Server installation on the computer where Meridian will be installed or on a separate computer. SQL Server installations on the Meridian computer are detected by the Meridian setup program as described in Installing the server components.

To integrate Meridian with SQL Server installed on a separate computer:

1. Set up the Meridian application server as described in Installing the server components if it has not been already.
2. For new vaults, create the vault that you want to use SQL Server as described in Creating a new vault. For existing vaults, proceed as described in Restoring a SQL Server vault to another server or Migrating a Hypertrieve vault to SQL Server, accordingly.
3. Create a subfolder named Backup on the SQL Server computer in the path typed for the Path for Database Files option in step 2. If this subfolder is not created, the backup will fail for this vault.
