Configure Synchronization Options

When a repository synchronization job runs, Publisher exports documents from a source vault according to settings that are configured for the publishing job. You can configure some of the parameters that determine how the export is performed. The synchronization job then imports the documents into the destination repository. The job options specify how each document is to be synchronized, including:

Which documents in the source vault are synchronized
Which revisions of the documents are synchronized
Where the document content will be retrieved from
Whether deleted vault documents are deleted from the repository

Note:

The maximum size of documents that can be synchronized from Meridian Enterprise to Meridian Explorer is 2 GB. Larger files will be skipped. A message can be seen in the publishing log if the MinLogLevel setting is 0 in the file C:\ProgramData\BlueCieloECM\EnterpriseServices\EventLogConfigDto.dat.

Configure Repository Synchronization Options

To configure the repository synchronization options:

In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Data Exchange group, click Jobs.

The All Jobs page opens with a list of existing publishing jobs. The jobs are grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they have been assigned.
On the ALL or SYNCHRONIZATION page, double-click the name of the job that you want to configure.

The job's configuration option pages appear.
In the menu, click OPTIONS.

The Options configuration page appears.
To configure the options in the NOTIFICATION group, see Configure the Notification Options.
Click Save.

Meridian Explorer repository options
Group	Option	Description
General	Timeout	The number of seconds for the system to wait for each attempt of synchronizing a document to complete before retrying. The default is 60 seconds. If all attempts fail to complete within this period, the result will be noted in the publishing log of the document but no errors will be generated.
BC Explorer	Keep revision history	Publishes the prior revisions of documents in addition to the current revision. If the source vault setting Work Isolation Mode in Main area is set to On or On, read-only, only released revisions will be synchronized, including working copies of the user account under which the synchronization job runs. Work Isolation Mode is a legacy feature. We still support customers who have it enabled, but we do not allow it to be enabled in new Vaults.
BC Explorer	Synchronize draft revision	If enabled and a document is under revision at the time that the job runs, any draft revisions (one or more) will also be published to the repository. If disabled, only the revisions with the status Unchanged, Released, and Retired are synchronized. Changing this option is not detected by the VALIDATE SYNCHRONIZATION command described in Validate a Synchronization Job. To synchronize the draft revisions after changing this setting, make an insignificant property value change to the draft revisions. They will be synchronized properly by the next synchronization job.
BC Explorer	Allow automatic deletion	Deletes repository documents when the vault documents from which they were synchronized have been deleted. In certain situations, some deleted vault documents might not be detected by an Meridian Explorer synchronization job. To delete the missed documents, we recommend that you run the Validate Synchronization command occasionally as described in Validate a Synchronization Job.
BC Explorer	Update display names	If the display names of properties and types in the source vault have changed, the names in the repository are synchronized with the changes.
BC Explorer	Create properties	Creates a property definition in the destination repository for every source vault property.
BC Explorer	Update indexes	Includes new documents in the indexes for faster searches. Search performance can be adversely affected by heavy loads on the server and result in time-out errors. If you want to schedule a synchronization job to run frequently (hourly, for example) during business hours or together with other jobs in a batch, we recommend that you disable this option and create a separate, dedicated indexing job to run only once daily outside of business hours.
BC Explorer	Collect dashboard statistics	Runs the stored procedure in the repository database that collects the information that is shown on the dashboard. The dashboard will appear empty until the data is collected. Because the data collection can be a resource-intensive process, we recommend that you enable this option for the last scheduled task of each day and during non-production hours. For information about customizing the stored procedure and the dashboard layout, see Configure the Dashboard.
BC Explorer	Only synchronize documents from the specified collection	To limit the synchronization to a specific set of vault documents, select an existing shared dynamic collection from the list. If the collection does not yet exist, you must first create it in Meridian Enterprise. To synchronize all documents in the source vault, leave this option empty. If the Include documents by reference option of the collection is enabled, referenced and referencing documents (even if they have changed) are synchronized only if the selected document has changed.
Content	Synchronize the source document	Enable this option if both the source and rendition files should be available in the destination repository. Users might not see any content for some documents depending on the current setting of the Display Content option described in Create And Edit Repository Views. Content might also not be available depending on whether a rendition exists in the source vault and whether the rendition is out of date because the source document has been modified.
