Configuring the vault scheduled import task

The scheduled import task first runs the Meridian Project Portal workspace 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 Meridian Project Portal processors.
• The destination vault GCF share name that you configured as described in Creating and editing a share.
• True – Reserved parameter. Always set to True.

If the configuration file is located in the same folder as the Meridian Project Portal workspace export processor, the path can be omitted.

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

"C:\GCF\Meridian Project Portal\Processors\BC.GCFExportProc.exe" <Meridian Project PortalIniFile> <MeridianGCFShareName> True

The scheduled import task should then execute the Meridian Enterprise import processor to import new briefcases into the local vault.

The task 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 GCF processors. If the configuration 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" <MeridianIniFile>

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.
