Publisher configuration options
Option Description

Prevent duplicate registration

Ignores new publishing tasks for documents for which publishing tasks already exist in the queue.

Note    This option is not available if the Publisher database is hosted by an Oracle server.

If enabled, Fail the whole batch operation when any duplicate is found will cause the publishing job to be revoked if duplicate documents are detected within a batch submitted using the VBScript methods of the MeridianQueue object described in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide. 

Rendition job

 Select the name of a publishing job to use to generate renditions in the vault.

Synchronize rendition lookup lists

 Populates the Rendition Page Pen Table, Rendition Page Size, and Rendition Page XOD Resolution lookup lists with values retrieved from the Meridian Enterprise Server computer. The lookup lists are described in the following table.

The rendition lookup lists provide values for the properties in the Rendition Properties property set and appear on the Rendition property page in the Meridian Enterprise client applications. The Rendition property page appears when the Use renditions option has been enabled for the vault in the Meridian Enterprise PowerUser client. The lookup list values may be modified to meet specific requirements.

Rendition property set lookup lists
Name Description

Rendition Page Color

Color depths to render to: Color or Black and white.

Rendition Page Layout

Views available within the source documents to render.

Rendition Page Orientation

Orientations of the page to render to: Landscape or Portrait.

Rendition Page Pen Table

AutoVue pen settings filenames to apply to the renditions. Applicable only if the publishing job is configured to use the AutoVue rendering module. Filenames are those that are available on the computer. By default, they are installed at:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cyco Shared\AutoVue

For more information about configuring pen tables, see "Pen Settings" in the Oracle AutoVue Desktop Deployment Viewing Configuration Guide that can be downloaded from the Oracle website.

Rendition Page Size

 Sizes of the pages to render to. Values are retrieved from the printing settings of the Meridian Enterprise Server computer when the PublishDocumentUIExtension extension is configured.

Rendition Page XOD Resolution

Resolutions at which to render documents. Lower values may lack sufficient clarity. Higher values may cause slower viewing.

Note    These values are retrieved from the rendering profile that resides in Meridian Enterprise Server when the Synchronize rendition lookup lists option described above is enabled. If this lookup list is empty after synchronization, scan the rendering profile as described in Creating and editing a rendering profile and then run the synchronization job again to repopulate the list with values.

Tip    In VBScript, use the User.HasPrivilege method with the Can Publish privilege to verify whether a user should be allowed to publish a particular document.
