Prepare the Remote Access Client Computers

We recommend that the remote access client computers be configured to support integration with the third-party applications installed there and with a local workspace for best performance. The following task describes how to configure that support. If documents must be prevented from being downloaded to the remote access client computers, then this task should not be performed, in which case documents will be edited in the local workspace located on the remote access host computer instead.

The following task configures:

• Meridian to work in Offline mode
• A local workspace location on the local computer to store working copies of offline documents

To prepare the remote access client computers for remote access:

1. Install at least one of the Meridian client applications, the appropriate application links, and the Application Integration components as described in Install the Client Components.
2. Open Registry Editor on the remote access client computers and locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client

3. Create the following values if they do not already exist and set them.

   As described in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings

   • OfflineMode
   • WorkSpaceLocation

   As described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client

   • RunRemoteApp
   • UseCICO
   • WorkSpaceLocation

   The preceding registry values are for 64-bit Application Integration. If only the 32-bit version of Application Integration will be used on a 64-bit PC, set the preceding values in the Wow6432Node branch instead as described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node. AMHookTray.exe may need to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

After the remote access client computers have been configured, they can use the Offline mode commands and functionality described in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide.
