View And Edit the Connectivity Settings

After the Meridian Enterprise Server configuration database connection has been created, it can be viewed or changed as described in the following task. For the highest performance in large scale environments, multiple Meridian Enterprise Server servers can be deployed and configured in a cluster with one server acting as the primary server.

To view or edit the connectivity settings:

In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the System Management group, click Settings.

The Application Settings page appears.
In the menu, click System Settings.

The System Settings page appears with server configuration options.

Server configuration options
Group	Option	Description
Configuration Database	Connection string	Connection string to the configuration database. You can change the configuration database or create a new one.
Server (Primary)	Server Name	Name of the server to which the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console is connected. You can connect to a different server.

Users, documents, vaults, and servers are identified by uniquely computed values and not by name to protect customers' privacy.
Cluster	Server clusters	You can join another Meridian Enterprise Server server with the current server in a cluster. For information about Meridian Enterprise Server clusters, see Meridian Enterprise Server Clusters.
Meridian Portal	Meridian Portal tenancy	The name of the Meridian Portal tenancy to which to connect for the exchange of packages. You can change the tenancy settings.

Change Tenancy settings

To change tenancy settings:

In the Meridian Portal group, Meridian Portal tenancy field, click Change.

The Meridian Portal page appears.
In the Meridian Portal page that opens, complete the fields:
- Meridian Portal — The Meridian Portal domain name where your tenancy resides (for example, meridian360.com or meridian360.eu)
- Package scanning interval — The interval in minutes to scan for new packages. The default is 5 minutes. This option is only available after a Meridian Portal tenancy has been registered.
- Import scanned packages — If enabled, packages that are successfully scanned are imported automatically and do not need to be imported manually as described in Import an Import Package. This option is intended for use with packages sent from Meridian Portal.
- Sub-domain — The name of your tenancy (company) at the domain entered in the Meridian Portal option.
- User name — The account name with access to the Meridian Portal API with which to connect to Meridian Portal.
  
  This is the special Meridian user account that can only be used by Meridian Enterprise Server to communicate with Meridian Portal.
  
  The ways in which the Meridian user account is different from normal user accounts are:
  - The account and its password can only be created by Accruent and once created, the account cannot be deleted.
  - It is the only account that can be assigned the Meridian security role in Meridian Portal that is necessary to communicate with Meridian Enterprise. The role does not grant privileges to the account to work interactively in Meridian Portal. Once assigned, the role cannot be revoked.
  For more information about the account and Meridian Portal security, see Manage User Accounts.
- Password — Password for the account specified in User name.
- Proxy address — URL (including optional port number) of the proxy server to use to connect to Meridian Portal.
- Proxy user name — User account with permission to connect to the proxy server.
- Proxy user password — Password for the account specified in Proxy user name.
Click Save.
