Configuring the Project Portal processors

The settings that control the GCF/Project Portal processors are configured in a configuration file similar to the configuration files used to control the Meridian Enterprise processors as described in Configuring the GCF processors. There should be one configuration file for each Project Portal site.

To configure the import and export processors:

  1. On the Meridian Enterprise server where the GCF/Project Portal processors are installed, open the processor configuration file in any text editor.

  2. Edit the settings in each section of the file using the descriptions in the following table.
