Renaming a vault
After a vault has been created, it cannot be easily renamed with the Administrator tool.
Note This task pertains to Hypertrieve vaults only. For information on moving SQL Server or Oracle vaults, see the links to related topics at the end of this topic.
Warning The following task should only performed after business hours and after backing up all related files and registry settings. This task should only be performed by persons with knowledge of and experience with editing the Windows registry. Incorrect changes can result in the vault being inaccessible to users.
To rename a vault:
-
Stop all services that use the vault. In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, right-click EDM Server in the left pane and select Properties. The service's Properties dialog box appears.
Note You may also use the Services applet in Control Panel to perform the following several steps.
-
Change Startup type to Disabed and click Apply.
Note You must disable the services so that they will not automatically restart if requested by client applications.
- Click the Stop button. You are prompted to stop the BlueCielo Filesystem Server service. Click Yes. Both services are stopped.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 with the BlueCielo License Server service and the AutoManager Task Server service (if used).
- If Web Access is used, also stop the World Web Publishing service on the web server.
- Open the server's registry in Registry Editor and locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<VaultName>
- Change the value of DefaultSection to the new name.
- If you want new vaults to be created in a different folder than the default (C:\BC-Meridian Vaults), open the server's registry in Registry Editor and locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores
- Change the value of DefaultDataPath to the new location.
- In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, change the Startup type property of the services that you cleared previously back to Automatic and restart the services.
- Test access to the vault by various security roles and that changes to documents are saved correctly.
