Administration improvements

The following improvements have been made to the administration of Meridian Enterprise:

A registry key has been added to control incoming references after a project copy is released.

• It is now possible to automate the collection of performance data for the AutoManager EDM Server service. The Process ID upon which the performance counters rely no longer changes.
• Performance improvements have been made to the Meridian server to improve start-up times with large vaults.
• The Database Import Wizard now supports the ability to select the comparison operator for each database field.
• A tool is now included that reads the membership of an Active Directory group and adds or updates those members and their properties in a Meridian group.
• A check has been added to disable automatic client updates if the computer running Meridian is the Meridian server.
• The 64-bit Windows Installer package now contains both the 32- and 64-bit versions of PowerUser.
• Licenses have been added for use in test environments. These Not for Production (part number contains NFP) licenses do not need to be authorized and will not expire.
• The recovery log will now always complete even if errors occur. All errors encountered will be logged in the Windows Application Log.
During the creation of a vault, an option is now available to enable or disable work areas for the vault. The default setting is disabled. For existing vaults that have work areas enabled, a conversion tool is available to upgrade to folders. Vaults using Microsoft SQL can now be backed up to a configurable location.
• A SplitImportPath setting can be added to a vault's import filter file. When set to 1, the path and file name of source documents will be split into separate path and a filename values and stored in the AMFSObjectPropertySet._IMPORTEDFROMPATH and AMFSObjectPropertySet._IMPORTEDFROM properties, respectively.
