Creating the Data Library

After the Data Library server components have been installed and configured, you must create and synchronize the Data Library before you can use its data in reports. Creating the Data Library data numerous steps that should be performed in the following sequence.

To create the Data Library:

  1. Create the repository as described in Creating a Meridian Explorer repository.
  2. Create a Data Library synchronization job as described in Configuring a Data Library synchronization job. The publishing job synchronizes document metadata from the Meridian Enterprise vault to the Data Library. Schedule the synchronization job to run on a periodic basis. Repeating the synchronization job ensures that the Data Library is kept up to date with the contents of the source vault.
  3. Run the synchronization job as described in Running a publishing job. Running the job performs the initial import of vault data into the Data Library.
  4. Monitor the publishing job as it progresses as described in Monitoring background tasks.
  5. Configure email notification of the publishing job results as described in Specifying a mail server (Optional). Email notifications allow you to remain informed as to the status of the Publisher updates.
  6. Back up the Data Library as described in Backing up a repository.
