Configure Synchronization Options

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assigns the file extension of the rendition to the published document.

This option does not change the format of the document and viewers that use the file extension to detect the file format will fail to view the document.

Enable this option synchronize the source document redlines and rendition redlines.

If the Enable feedback functionality option is enabled for a detail page and redlines are edited using that page, the changes will be saved to the Meridian Enterprise vault.
