BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server 2016 Administrator's Guide

Additional requirements

Depending on your specific requirements, the Publisher may impose the following requirements or limitations.

• The system links communicate with third-party applications such as Microsoft SharePoint and EMC Documentum that must be installed on other computers. These applications and their licenses are not included with Publisher. The versions of these applications that are supported by this release are listed in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Supported Software document that corresponds to this release. BlueCielo ECM Solutions is not responsible for the installation, operation, and licensing of third-party software.

• The rendering processes use third-party applications such as Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor that must be installed on the Publisher computer. These applications and their licenses are not included with Publisher. The versions of these applications that are supported by this release are listed in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Supported Software document that corresponds to this release. BlueCielo ECM Solutions is not responsible for the installation, operation, and licensing of third-party software.

  Notes

  Some third-party applications that are used for rendering are not compatible with all operating systems that Publisher is compatible with or the applications may not be supported by the manufacturer in that configuration. When installed together with Publisher, we recommend that the Publisher rendering module for that application be installed on a dedicated computer running a version of Windows that is compatible with the third-party application and that Publisher be installed on a computer running a supported version of Windows Server. For example, AutoCAD is not supported on Windows Server by Autodesk. Therefore, we recommend that the AutoCAD rendering module and AutoCAD be installed on a computer running an Autodesk-supported workstation operating system and that Publisher be installed on a separate computer running a BlueCielo-supported server operating system.

  Add-ins, plug-ins, or extensions can interfere with rendering. They are not supported by BlueCielo ECM Solutions and should be disabled in all rendering applications that are installed on the Publisher computer.

• The Publisher has several out-of-the-box configuration possibilities, but additional configuration is usually needed to meet specific customer requirements. This document describes the configuration options for each rendering module and system link. Refer to the specific topics that pertain to each rendering module and system link for any additional requirements or limitations.

The following table lists the third-party applications that must be installed on the Publisher computer that performs rendering with specific rendering modules. The unlisted rendering modules include the components that perform rendering by those modules and no additional software needs to be installed with Meridian Enterprise Server.
