Disabling a vault

Disabling a vault causes it to not be loaded by the EDM Server service but does not delete any of the vault's metadata or documents. This can be useful to free system resources when:

• The vault should be maintained in an offline but ready state
• Performing server-intensive administration tasks on other vaults

Disabling a vault involves renaming it in the server's registry. You can enable the vault at any time by returning the vault to its original name.

To disable a vault:

1. Open the Registry Editor on the Meridian application server and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores

2. Expand the key and select the vault name to be renamed.

3. Edit the vault name and insert an underscore at the beginning of the vault name. This will clear the vault when the EDM Server service is restarted later.

   Tip    To quickly rename a registry key, highlight the key and press F2.

4. Restart the EDM Server service to reload the enabled vaults but not the cleared vault.
