Configuring the vault scheduled export task

The scheduled export task first runs the Meridian Enterprise export processor to create briefcases for remote collaborating sites. A parameter in the command line of the task specifies which transfers to process. We recommend that this process should be scheduled frequently, for example, once every hour.

The export processor command line should specify the following parameters:

• The name of the configuration file that contains the processing settings that you configured as described in Configuring the GCF processors.
• The Global Collaboration Framework share name that you configured for the destination Meridian Project Portal workspace as described in Creating and editing a share.
• True – Causes processing of all transfers. Do not use False with Meridian Project Portal.

If the configuration file is located in the same folder as the vault export processor, the path can be omitted.

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

Following is an example of a scheduled Meridian Enterprise export processor command line:

"C:\GCF\Meridian\Processors\GCFExportProc.exe" <MeridianIniFile> <Meridian Project PortalGCFShareName> True

The task should then execute the Meridian Project Portal workspace import processor to import new briefcases into the Meridian Project Portal workspace.

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

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

"C:\GCF\Meridian Project Portal\Processors\BC.GCFImportProc.exe" <Meridian Project PortalIniFile>
