Register a Meridian Enterprise Vault

Registering a Meridian Enterprise vault in Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console makes it easier for you to view and manage the vault settings that are used by Publisher to synchronize the vault with Meridian Explorer. You can do the same tasks in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator program and you must perform all other vault management there.

To register a vault:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the REPOSITORIES group, click Repositories. The All Repositories page appears and lists the existing repositories and Meridian Enterprise vaults.
2. In the app bar, click NEW. The NEW REPOSITORY dialog box appears.
3. Select Meridian vault and then click NEXT. The SELECT [M] VAULT TO REGISTER page appears.

4. If necessary, type the correct server name. Enter the name in the same format as it is used in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator program to avoid the vault appearing multiple times:

   • Fully-qualified domain name (preferred, especially if multiple vaults on the same EDM server will be registered. The same name registered in different formats can result in a license claimed for each format)
   • Computer name alone
   • NETBIOS machine name
5. Click the connect icon . The vaults that reside on the specified server are listed.
6. Select one or more vaults and then click REGISTER. The vaults appear in the repository list in the BC Meridian group.
