Accruent Meridian Enterprise Server 2020 Administrator's Guide

Autovue

Meridian Enterprise Server supports AutoVue for viewing 2D and 3D documents. AutoVue is a Java applet that displays documents that are rendered by an AutoVue server. AutoVue can be installed in two deployment types: client/server deployment or desktop deployment.

The basic architecture of AutoVue when integrated with Meridian Enterprise Server in a client/server deployment is shown in the following figure.

AutoVue client/server architecture when integrated with Meridian Enterprise Server

The Java server and the AutoVue server software can be installed on separate servers if many client computers require the service. This architecture is best suited for the department and enterprise deployment models described in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Administratorʹs Guide.

The AutoVue software may be installed on the following computers depending on the expected viewing workload:

  • The Meridian Enterprise application server together with PowerWeb web server (minimal workload)
  • A separate PowerWeb web server or Meridian Enterprise Server web server (moderate workload)
  • Separate Java application server and web server (heavy workload)
