Registry values
Value Name Data Type Value Data

AllowSnapShot

DWORD

If this value is 0, disable log file truncation during creation of new database snapshots. If this value is 1 (default), enable truncation. See Configure the MaximumLogSize Setting.

AlwaysCreateCheFile

DWORD If this value is 1, creates a cache file when the vault is closed by the EDM Server, even if the HyperCache setting is enabled. If this value is 0 (default), no cache file is created.


BackupLocation

String The path used by Meridian to store the vault database backup files created by the Prepare for Backup command. If this value is not set, the default location <DataPath>\Backup will be used.
CopyOnlyBackup DWORD If this value is 0 (default) or is absent, the Prepare for Backup command performs a conventional SQL Server backup. If this value is 1, the command creates a copy-only backup.

Databasename

String

The path of the vault database file if Hypertrieve is used.

DatabaseNotCreated

DWORD

If this value is 0, a new SQL Server database will not be created automatically when this vault is created. If this value is absent (default), a new SQL Server database will be created automatically.

This value corresponds to the Database exists option in the New Vault Wizard as described in Create a New Vaultand must not be manipulated manually. Doing so could result in the loss of the vault database.

DataPath

String

Path used by SQL Server for data files used by this vault. If a remote SQL Server instance is used, type an existing path (UNC not supported) on the remote server.

Datastorename

String

If SQL Server or Oracle support is installed, this value will be used as a base name for locally generated files. It will also be used as a database name for Microsoft-SQL Server and as a source to generate table names for Oracle.

DetachRetention

DWORD

The amount of time in minutes the database cache will remain in memory after all users have logged out of the system. Only used in very specific situations. The default is 5.

DllName

String

Name of the database engine DLL file that serves this vault. For information about upgrading the database engine and the filenames, see Upgrade Vaults To a Newer Database Engine.

ExtendedMemory_EnableCache

DWORD

Enables the High Performance Option. Obsolete.

ExtendedMemory_BlockSize

DWORD

Size of individual extended memory blocks used by the High Performance Option. The default size is 1 KB. Obsolete.

ExtendedMemory_Blocks

DWORD

Number of individual extended memory blocks used by the High Performance Option. Obsolete.

HyperCache

DWORD

On 64-bit computers, if this value is 1 (default) or missing, vaults are loaded completely into cache memory and a cache file (.CHE) is not created between EDM Server sessions. To force the creation of cache files, use the AlwaysCreateCheFile setting.

If this value is 0, vaults are loaded into cache memory according to the vault's cache settings.

IgnoreShutdownFlag

DWORD

If this value is 0 (default), when an unsuccessful database shutdown is detected, the database engine normally restores the database by playing the log file against the existing snapshot. If this value is >0, the engine does not restore the database from snapshot after unsuccessful shutdown and continues with the database, which probably contains inconsistencies.

IndexPath

String

Path used by SQL Server for index files used by this vault. If empty, uses DataPath value. If a remote SQL Server instance is used, type an existing path (UNC not supported) on the remote server.

InstanceName

String

Name of the Oracle server instance used by this vault.

IsLocal

DWORD

If this value is 1, the Oracle instance is hosted on the local computer. If this value is 0, the Oracle instance is hosted on a remote computer.

LocalDataPath

DWORD

Path to be used for locally created SQL Server files. If empty, DataPath will be used.

LoggingLimit

DWORD

Server performance option for use with SQL Server. See Integrate Meridian With SQL Server.

LogPath

String

Path used by SQL Server for transaction log files used by this vault. If empty, uses DataPath value. If a remote SQL Server instance is used, type an existing path (UNC not supported) on the remote server.

MaximumCacheSize

DWORD

Server performance option. See Optimize the Meridian Server Software. and Configure the MaximumCacheSize Setting.

MaximumLogSize

DWORD

When the value set for MinimumSnapshotInterval has been reached and the log file size is greater than this value, a new snapshot will be created and the existing log file will be truncated. Server performance option. See Optimize the Meridian Server Software. and Configure the MaximumLogSize Setting.

MaxRetries

DWORD

Server performance option for use with SQL Server. See Integrate Meridian With SQL Server.

MinimumSnapshotInterval

DWORD

Timeout in minutes after which log truncation will be attempted if the value set for MaximumLogSize has been reached. Default = 240. Server performance option. See Optimize the Meridian Server Software.

RelativeCacheSize

DWORD

Server performance option. See Optimize the Meridian Server Software and Configure the RelativeCacheSize Setting.

RetryWait

DWORD

Server performance option for use with SQL Server. See Integrate Meridian With SQL Server.

Schemaname

String

Name of the Oracle schema used by this vault.

Servername

String

Name of the computer running SQL Server that hosts this vault. Empty for default server located on local server.

ShutDownForBackup

DWORD

Obsolete

TraceName

String

Full local path to the trace file. If this value is not present, no trace file will be written. See Review the Server Configuration Information.

TraceOn

DWORD

If this value is >0 and TraceName is set, activates tracing of all calls to the database engine. This reduces server performance by approximately 50%.  See Review the Server Configuration Information.

UseCompatibleBackup

DWORD

If this value is 0, the Prepare for Backup Wizard will create snapshot files from an Oracle vault that are compatible with the Restart After Restore From Backup Wizard. If this value is 1 (default), the wizard will only create backup files of the vault registration information and the data must be backed up and restored manually using Oracle tools. See Oracle Vault Backups and Prepare For Backups.
