Configuring the vault scheduled import task

This scheduled import task executes the Meridian Enterprise import processor to import received briefcases into the local vault. It should be scheduled frequently to process user-initiated transfers like requests to claim ownership. We recommend a schedule interval between 10 minutes and 1 hour. The overhead for running the task when no work needs to be done is small: the import processor only needs to check that the folder specified by the InPath setting in the .ini file is empty.

The task command line should have one argument that is the name of the .ini file that contains the processing settings that you configured as described in Configuring the Meridian Enterprise processors. If the .ini file is located in the same folder as the vault import processor, the path can be omitted.

Following is an example of a scheduled import task command line:

"C:\GCF\Meridian\Processors\GCFImportProc.exe" GCFProc.INI

Note    Installing the processors as described in Installing the Meridian Enterprise processors installs sample .cmd files for export and import with the correct .ini file names and share names that you can use to compose the command line.
