Understanding the Tag Link Synchronizer tool

The Tag Link Synchronizer tool creates references between objects and documents in a Meridian Enterprise vault. The tool is provided as-is and is not supported.

The Tag Link Synchronizer tool supports a two-step process. In the first step, the objects are created in the vault such as by Tag Synchronizer as described in Understanding the Tag Synchronizer tool. In the second step, you use Tag Link Synchronizer to create the references. Each record in a search result from an intermediate file is processed and creates one or more references. The tool expects the file to have at least two columns: one column that contains object names and one column that contains related document names. The tool does not create objects in Meridian Enterprise nor does it delete existing references.

The Tag Link Synchronizer tool supports several other features:

• Running the tool in unattended mode from a command line without displaying a user interface
• Sequential update of references from the last import date
• The reference type and direction can be configured
• Sending an email notification in case of errors
• Log files for showing import details and error information

When Tag Link Synchronizer is started without command line arguments, the application starts in interactive mode. The application is configured as described in Configuring Tag Link Synchronizer .
