BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2018 Release Notes
Administration improvements
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| MRE-1987, MRE-2270 |
Portions of the EDM Server service have been rewritten to improve performance and to be more stable when starting, loading the cache, and stopping. The service name has changed from AutoManager EDM Server to BlueCielo EDM Server. |
| MRE-2669 | A potential issue with incorrectly specified Oracle instance names was fixed. |
|
MRE-3811 |
The site cache component is no longer required when installing Meridian Enterprise Server on a cluster node. |
| MRE-4194 | Performing administration tasks on a particular vault (backup, restore, archive, Vault Consistency Wizard, and so on) no longer prevents users from working in other vaults. |
| MRE-4247, MRE-5026, MRE-5167 |
Vault activity is now sent to BlueCielo from Meridian PowerUser and Meridian Power by default. User names (related to workflow assignments, for example) and document names are encrypted during transmission for security. The data gathered cannot be linked to personally identifiable information. Customers may opt out of this feature when starting Meridian Analytics configuration for the first time after installation, an upgrade, or the setting is changed. The collected data will be analyzed to direct future development, training, and support. |
| MRE-4256 | A new vault privilege View Audit Log has been added to control access to the audit log database with user privileges. |
| MRE-4281 | The Meridian API Service that is required for Meridian Mobile is now included in the Meridian server installation package. |
| MRE-4418 | The Vault Consistency Wizard now detects unexpectedly large string property values (>1 MB) and reports them in the output file to aid with troubleshooting. |
|
MRE-4537 |
Vault access by users is now possible while Active Directory accounts are being synchronized with Meridian Enterprise Server. |
| MRE-4564 | Windows Server 2008 is no longer supported. |
| MRE-4569 | Meridian Enterprise Server now requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1. |

Package export type publishing jobs now support mapping the source Meridian Enterprise document properties to destination Meridian Portal project repository properties. |
| MRE-4674 | The Hypertrieve 3 database engine types have been removed from the New Vault Wizard in Meridian Administrator. Only Hypertrieve 5 database engine types may now be selected. |
| MRE-4707 | A new registry value WorkSpaceNoUserName has been added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch of the Meridian web server registry that, if set to 1 and the WorkSpaceLocation value is also set, will cause Application Integration to clean up temporary files from the local workspace on the web server for all Meridian Power users. |
| MRE-4726, MRE-5045 |
A new server registry value LargeSelectionThreshold has been added that, when set to a positive number, specifies the minimum number of documents in a static collection at which to use a special algorithm for when deleting them. This algorithm provides better performance for deleting large static collections. However, orphaned document references to the collections must be cleaned up manually. Clean-up can be performed with a new option Clean up deleted static collections after successful check in the Vault Consistency Wizard or a new command line tool AMCleanDSC.exe that is installed on the server. |
|
MRE-4799 |

In the Meridian Portal integration, the original document number is now sent to Meridian Portal. The property name is specified in the Document number property option of the repository in Meridian Administration Console. The value appears as the Master Document Number property of documents in Meridian Portal. Documents created in Meridian Portal and sent in packages to the vault are assigned GUID values that should be overwritten by new values assigned by the vault in the ImportPackage_AfterReadProperties event handler. |
| MRE-5027 |
New options have been added to the installation packages to enable connection to a site cache server using the OpenId credentials that are specified for a given Meridian Portal tenancy. New command line options OPENID and TENANTNAME have been added to install the client software unattended with the connection parameters preconfigured.
