Importing the VBScript code

The Global Collaboration Framework can handle vault events two ways: with script or with the GcfEvents extension implemented in GCF 2011. Both ways are supported. The script implementation is still supported for those customers that have customized GCF script and cannot use the extension. For first-time installations, we strongly recommend using the GcfEvents extension.

To make the GCF VBScript functions available within the vault, you must import them into the vault's existing script.

To import the VBScript code for a first-time GCF installation:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Configurator, open the vault's event procedures code for editing as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise VBScript API Reference.

2. If the following event handlers are defined:

• DocHybridEvent_BeforeHybridPart
• DocHybridEvent_AfterHybridPart

Merge them with the event handlers that have the same names in the new GCF VBScript file <Setup>\Meridian\Configuration\MainScript.bas.

Note    This step is unnecessary if only GCF/Project Portal is being installed. It does not support hybrid document types.

3. Copy the content of MainScript.bas to the Clipboard and paste it at the end of the vault's current event procedures code.
4. Review the list of event handlers in Suppressing custom code during GCF operations and if custom event handlers exist in the vault's configuration, perform the task described in that topic.
5. Click OK to save your changes.

If a version of the GCF prior to GCF 2011 is already installed, you have two options:

1. Install the GcfEvents extension and remove the existing GCF VBScript event handlers as described in Integrating custom GCF script with GCF 2012. We recommend this procedure to optimize code maintenance and performance. However, it precludes customizing the GCF event handlers.
2. Keep the existing (possibly customized) GCF VBScript event handlers and do not install the GcfEvents extension. However, you must also update the existing code to work with GCF 2012 as described in Updating custom GCF script to GCF 2012.

Some GCF operations are supported by the Meridian Enterprise Web Client: cross-site workflow, document deletion, and workflow revocation. To make the support available, append the script in the following file to the end of the vault's current event procedures code similar to the preceding task:

<Setup>\Meridian\Configuration\Advanced\GCFWeb.bas
