Preparing the remote access host computer

The remote access host computers must be configured to display the Offline mode commands in the PowerUser client application. They should synchronize changed documents on every Offline command, but use the remote client computers’ Local Workspace for storage. And for best performance, documents to be viewed should be retrieved from the AMFS share. If a pool of remote access host computers will be used, the Local Workspace lock ID, which normally identifies the computer where the client is run, must be set to a common value for all of the remote access host computers.

To prepare the remote access host computers for remote access:

1. If documents that include external references will be viewed or edited by remote access client computers, install the documents’ native application on the remote access host computer, which is required to resolve the external references of documents downloaded to the remote access client computers.
2. Install the Meridian client applications that will be used by the remote access client computers, the appropriate application links, and Application Integration components as described in Installing the client components.

Note    If you install the 64-bit edition client components on the remote access host computer, the SQL Server Compact Edition option must be selected during installation. If the 32-bit edition client components are used on a 64-bit computer, it must be configured to use SQL Server Compact Edition using the WorkSpaceDB registry setting described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client. In either case, if SQL Server Compact Edition is not used for the Local Workspace, the Meridian application links will not be available.

3. Configure the registry settings described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client to the values listed in the following table. Create the values if they do not already exist.
