Oracle AutoVue

This release of Meridian Enterprise includes AutoVue 20.2.3 for document viewing. A complete list of the supported file formats, user documentation, and additional technical documentation for AutoVue products can be found online at the Oracle web site. For the input and output formats supported by BlueCielo Publisher, see AutoVue rendering module supported formats.

The AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced components are also included and the additional cost licenses are available from BlueCielo ECM Solutions. A list of the additional file formats supported by AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced can be found at the link above.

Notes

• When AutoVue is installed as a desktop deployment, the version of the Java Runtime Enviroment that is included with AutoVue is installed by the Meridian Enterprise setup program in the Cyco Shared\AutoVue\JRE folder. That version is used by the viewer regardless of any other versions of Java that are installed.

  When AutoVue is installed as a client/server deployment, the client computers require a Java Virtual Machine version that is listed in the Oracle AutoVue Client-Server Deployment Installation and Configuration Guide for the version of AutoVue that is installed (also listed in the following table).

• Legacy BlueCielo viewer redlines and AutoVue redlines are incompatible and cannot be used interchangeably for the same file formats. If BlueCielo viewer redlines exist for AutoCAD or raster image files, they will be automatically converted to AutoVue redlines and shown in AutoVue. Editing and saving the redlines stores them permanently in the AutoVue format.
• The AutoVue desktop versions do not run in the BlueCielo 64-bit client applications. The AutoVue Client/Server viewer can be configured in such cases.
• The BlueCielo Connector that is installed for use by AutoVue client/server deployments runs on the Java application server Jetty that is installed with AutoVue by default. In high load environments, we recommend running it on the Apache Tomcat Java server instead. Instructions on deployment can be found on the BlueCielo knowledge base.

The versions of Oracle AutoVue that are supported by the BlueCielo products that use it are listed in the following table. All version numbers represent both the AutoVue desktop version and AutoVue client/server version unless otherwise noted.

Notes

1. Desktop version only.
2. Client/server deployment only.
3. The latest version of AutoVue Desktop that was available when Meridian Enterprise was released.

4. Some updates might register the wrong path to the Java runtime library during installation and require manual correction as described in:

   JRE 1.7.0 Update 1 incorrect RuntimeLib registry entry

   amd64 prunsrv.exe pointed to wrong default jvm.dll

   Version 8 update 25 can produce the error Can not establish connection to BlueCielo WebService when viewing documents if the Enable dynamic content compression option is enabled for the BCWebService application in IIS Manager. To prevent this error, disable the option or install a different version of the Java virtual machine.

   Version 8 is also incompatible with the Print and Print Preview commands in AutoVue unless the NATIVEJAVAPRINTING setting is set to 1 in the PRINTOPTIONS section of the file AVS\bin\allusers.ini and the AutoVue Server is restarted.

5. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) files generated by Autodesk Revit that contain encoded comments are not supported.

Meridian Enterprise and Meridian Enterprise Server support deployment of AutoVue Client/Server. For more information, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator’s Guide and the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide.
