Registry values
Value Name Data Type Value Data
BCSiteCacheURL String

URL of the site cache server for use by PowerWeb. This value is set by the installation package. If this value is missing, then the value with the same name in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings is applied.

Important!

Users should not work on the same documents from more than one PC with Application Integration in Remote mode and site caches enabled or document content inconsistencies can occur.

DefaultVaultListLocation

String

See the description of lookup lists in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.

DisabledFeatures DWORD

This value is intended to improve the performance of PowerWeb deployments where no Meridian Enterprise Server computer is deployed and the Computer running the Enterprise services option of the EDM Server service is empty as described in Configure the connection to Meridian Enterprise Server. Set to 0x000c0000 (hexadecimal), to prevent PowerWeb from attempting to connect to a Meridian Enterprise Server computer.

DisableOfflineSwitch

DWORD

If this value is 1, disable Offline mode switching in Application Integration. If this value is 0 (default), do not disable Offline mode switching. See Disable Offline Mode. If this value is missing, then the value with the same name in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings is applied.

ExcludeCertificates DWORD

If this value is 1, prevents the names of certificates from appearing in the User Name list when electronically signing documents in PowerWeb with the ActiveX compatibility mode option enabled and a security policy is configured to use a certificate and PIN.

If this value is 0 (default), the certificates are shown and can be selected.

ExtForDuplicator

String

List of file extensions separated by semicolons for the types of documents for which the Duplicator commands are enabled. By default, ".dwg;.iam;.ipt;.idw;.ipn;.asm;.sldasm;.drw;.slddrw;.prt;.sldprt;.dst".

EnableScriptLog

DWORD

If this value is 1, VBScript events, command scripts, evaluated expressions, and external function calls are logged to a file for troubleshooting customization and performance. The log is also shown in a left pane in PowerUser.

If this value is 0 (default), logging is disabled. To configure the log file for PowerUser, see HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\PowerUser\Settings\Log. To enable the Download Log menu command in PowerWeb, set the CanDownloadLog setting to 1 in the user’s PowerWeb profile file as described in “Deploying standard preferences” in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.

ForceDocTypeDialog

DWORD

If this value is 1, forces display of the Create a new document dialog. If this value is 0 (default), does not force display of the dialog.

HideDuplicator

DWORD

If this value is 1, the client disables the Duplicator menu commands. If this value is 0 (default), the commands are enabled.

MinutesToSleep

DWORD

Time interval after which PowerUser closes the vault, thus releasing the database connection license (but not the client license) and server memory resources. If this setting is absent or 0, the application will not close the connection on a timely basis.

NotReservedTmmLic

DWORD If this value is 1, reserved licenses are not required for the Meridian Transmittal Management Module. If this value is 0 (default), licenses must be reserved.

OfficeClient_MaxInstances

DWORD

The maximum number of Office Client instances that can be open simultaneously on the computer.

OfflineLicense

DWORD

If this value is 1, attempt to claim offline license succeeded. If this value is 0, attempt failed.

OfflineMode

DWORD

If this value is 1, metadata cached in the Local Workspace database and documents are not automatically synchronized with the Meridian application server in real-time, users must invoke the synchronization commands described in Manually synchronize the local workspace.

If this value is 0, they are automatically synchronized with the Meridian application server depending on the setting of WebServicesMode. This setting can also be set on the Application Integration shortcut menu.

For use with remote access software, set this value to 1 on the remote access client PC and to 0 on the remote access host PC. If this value is missing, then the value with the same name in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings is applied.

PowerUser_MaxInstances

DWORD

The maximum number of PowerUser instances that can be open simultaneously on the computer.

RunRemoteApp

DWORD

This value is intended for use with remote access software as described in Prepare the Remote Access Client Computers. This value enables support for opening documents in the registered Windows application on the remote client PC when the user double-clicks on the document in PowerUser running on a remote host PC.

If this value is 1 when the user double-clicks on the document:

  • The local workspace on the remote access host is synchronized (the document and all its references are downloaded and the document is locked in the vault).
  • The registered application on the remote access host is not launched as usual.

  • The document is downloaded to the local workspace on the remote access client PC the same as if the PowerUser were running locally. A special empty file is created in a sub-folder of the local workspace named <WorkSpaceLocation>/<VaultContext>__$$RUN on the remote access client PC. The name of the file is the full path to the document in the local workspace with the backslashes replaced with the vertical bar character (|), for example, M-MyPC,D-MyVault|New Folder|New Text Document.txt.run.

  • Application Integration running on the remote access client PC monitors the sub-folder. When Application Integration detects a .run file, it opens the local workspace document in the registered application on the local PC for the user to work with the document. After the application is launched, Application Integration deletes the .run file.

If this value is 0 (default), the document is opened in the registered application on the remote host PC as usual.

SkipSyncForOpen

String

List of file extensions separated by semicolons for the types of documents to be skipped by Local Workspace reference synchronization when the files are opened in the native application. By default, ".iam;.ipt;.idw;.sldasm;.asm;.sldprt;.prt;.slddrw;.drw;.dgn;.dwg".

Note:

The default is not used if a value is absent. It is set by the setup program only if the key does not exist and depends on the links installed.

SkipSyncForView

String

List of file extensions separated by semicolons for the types of documents to be skipped by Local Workspace reference synchronization when the files are opened for viewing. By default, ".iam;.ipt;.idw;.sldasm;.asm;.sldprt;.prt;.slddrw;.drw;.dgn;.dwg".

Note:

The default is not used if a value is absent. It is set by Setup only if the key does not exist, and depends on the links installed.

SpecialBuild

String

Optional text shown at the top of splash screens and About dialogs.

UseAMFS

DWORD

This is a legacy setting related to a Windows feature that is no longer supported. Do not change the default value of this setting, or you will encounter issues with clients being unable to access file contents.

UseCICO

DWORD

Set this value to 1 for compatibility with remote access software. For more information, see Prepare the Remote Access Host Computer.

WebServicesMode

DWORD

If this value is 0 (default), metadata cached in the Local Workspace database and documents are automatically synchronized with the Meridian application server in real-time using DCOM. If this value is 1, the they are automatically synchronized using an HTTP connection to the Meridian web server. If this value is missing, then the value with the same name in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings is applied.

WorkSpaceAccountName

DWORD

If this value is 1, the user folder in Local Workspace will contain the domain name from the user account like <UserName>.<DomainName>. If this value is 0 (default), the folder name will not contain the domain name.

WorkSpaceDB1

DWORD

Local Workspace database format and version.

Possible values are:

0 – Microsoft Jet database engine (default, installed separately)

1 – SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 (installed separately)

4 – SQL Server Compact Edition 4 (installed separately)

8 – SQLite (included)

WorkSpaceLocation

String

Path to the Local Workspace folder in the form <LocalDrive>\<FolderName>. The default value is set during Meridian client installation and can be left at the default value or it can be modified. This setting is for online clients only. The Windows %USERNAME% environment variable may be used.

For compatibility with remote access software, set this value to \\<RemoteResourceName>\<ShareName>\<FolderName>.

In order for the remote access host computer to store documents on the remote access client computer for editing, the remote access client computer’s drive resources must be accessible through the remote access connection.

This capability goes by different names depending on the remote access software used. For example, the option is named Local Resources in Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection and is enabled by default. To specify a local resource for Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, replace <RemoteResourceName> with tsclient and <ShareName> and <FolderName> with appropriate values for the remote access client computers.

If you are using different remote access software, set WorkSpaceLocation to a value that is appropriate for your remote access software and ensure that the local drive resource is shared or mapped accordingly.

WorkSpaceLockID1

String

A unique value that identifies a user's Local Workspace on each computer that they use. This value is only used by PowerUser. For PowerWeb users, see the WorkspaceLockID value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\WebLink\Published Locations\<ID>

If a pool of remote access host computers (running PowerUser) will be used, set this to a value to be used by all of the remote access host computers, such as Citrix or RemoteDesktop. The value can be anything so long as it is the same for all of the remote access host computers. For remote access host computers running PowerWeb, see the CommonWorkspace value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\WebLink\Published Locations\<ID>.

WorkSpaceNoUserName1

DWORD

If this value is 1, the user account name is not appended to the Local Workspace folder name. If this value is 0 (default), the account name will be appended. This is useful only if WorkSpaceLocation is also defined. If set in this branch (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) on the Meridian web server for the account under which Application Integration runs, Application Integration will periodically clean up the local workspace location of all stale temporary files created for PowerWeb users.

WorkSpaceSharedCheck

DWORD

If this value is 1, during document downloads, shared workspace folders are detected and recreated if they do not exist, which can take a unacceptable amount of time if the folders no longer exist. If this value is 0 (default), this checking is not done and downloads occur faster but referenced drawings may not be resolved correctly.

Note:

If there is no desktop.ini file and the Shared Workspace does not function, this can be resolved by setting the value to 1. This ensures that the necessary ini file is created in the workspace location on the download operation.

Note:
  1. The following locations will be searched for this value in the order listed and the value of the first location where it is found will be applied :
    1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings (affects all users of the PC)
    2. This registry key (affects only the current user of the PC.)
