generally available as of July 2013.

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise is a versatile Engineering Content Management solution with a broad range of

features, allowing various company types in multiple industries to optimize their business processes related to

the creation, collaboration and distribution of engineering data. BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise is used as an Asset

Information Management solution for owner/operators, as well as an Engineering Content Management solution

for engineering contractors and equipment suppliers. This

is possible through the solution’s many features, its great flexibility to be configured to specific user requirements, and the availability of modules

to address specific business needs.

With BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise, organizations can ensure that the latest revisions of the right documents are available to the right people. Fully CAD platform-independent,

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise provides flexible revision management, workflow support for projects and single documents, and a safe, secure environment for documents using

a vault concept. In recent years, BlueCielo has expanded the scale of the solution to the enterprise level. This is reflected in the scalability of the solution as well as the

possibilities for global collaboration. BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise allows working with both internal resources at various offices as well as external resources contributing to

the projects.

The BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 release comes with several major functional enhancements and a large set of updates and improvements. New and enhanced

functionality is described in this document for BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise and the various modules.

2.1 Application integration enhancements

2.1.1 Updated CAD support

One of the key capabilities of BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise is CAD integration. Within

each release, we support the latest versions of popular authoring applications with which Meridian Enterprise integrates. The latest versions of the following CAD applications are

supported: � AutoCAD 2013/2014 family

� AutoCAD P&ID 2014

� Autodesk Revit 2013/2014

� Inventor 2013SP1/2014

� SolidWorks 2013

A complete list of the supported operating systems, authoring applications, email

applications, web client applications, database management systems, languages, viewers, and the Meridian Enterprise versions supported by each version of the Meridian

Enterprise modules is provided in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Supported Software. This document can be found in the Resource Center at our website. Here are

some highlights for BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013:

� Platforms

o Internet Explorer 10

o Windows 8

o Windows Server 2012

o Microsoft SQL Server 2012

� Applications

o Microsoft Office 2013

o Microsoft Outlook 2013

� Languages

o Now available in Korean

2.1.2 Configure reading/writing of multiple blocks per drawing

It is now possible to work with multiple title blocks within AutoCAD when the drawing

has multiple layouts. Each layout must have a similar title block and the properties can

be different for each layout. An easy user interface can be configured to manage the

property values for each layout in the drawing.

2.1.3 New Assembly Import tool

We have updated our Assembly

Import tool. The tool allows

selection of the assembly to be

imported, followed by wizard

pages to control the import

process and to determine what

data needs to be extracted from

the assembly into the vault

database, for example:

� References

� Title blocks

� Script results to enhance

control during import

2.2 Viewing improvements

It is possible to work with multiple viewers in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise. Besides

support for AutoVue 2D and 3D, Adobe Reader XI is now supported and the Microsoft

Excel viewer can be used to view .xlsm files.

Out of the box, BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise provides viewing through Oracle AutoVue,

which is the default viewer after setup. The latest version of Oracle AutoVue, 20.2.1,

supports:

� AutoCAD 2013/2014

� Inventor 2013/2014

� SolidWorks 2013

The viewer now supports multiple redline layers. Multiple users can add their own

redline layers to the drawing, which is useful when multiple users need to review the

drawing.

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise provides rendition support, which means that each

document can have a second file, the rendition. Who sees the rendition or the native file

and when can be controlled in the user interface through role-based security. See also

the What’s New white paper of the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2012 release. Adobe

PDF renditions could already be redlined but it’s now possible to jump to a specific page

within the viewer.

With respect to server-based viewing, extensive tests have been done to optimize the

appropriate settings to increase the overall performance. This is also explained in our

documentation. Next, enhancements have been made with respect to the security when

viewing through the viewer server and the handling of redlines.

2.3 CAD integration enhancements

2.3.1 Shared workspace

More and more, CAD applications are making use of databases to manage the CAD data

across multiple files. Some applications provide a project management shell, for

example, AutoCAD P&ID and AutoCAD Civil 3D. We have introduced a new concept

called shared workspace that is controlled by BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise to improve

the overall engineering process while providing the CAD designer optimum use of the

CAD application.

The shared workspace concept is ideal for CAD applications that allow multi-

user access to files (e.g. Revit or databases) or have complex relationships

not managed by BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise (e.g. AutoCAD Civil 3D). In

addition to local workspace, custom folder types may now be associated

with a network location outside the vault to act as a shared workspace. Files

in progress within the CAD application can be placed in the shared

workspace by redirecting parts of local workspaces.

Existing documents are updated/synchronized:

� Manually within the client on regular user operations requiring file

content

� Automatically using a server-based tool when the option

Synchronize automatically is enabled

New documents are created:

� Manually within the client

� Automatically by the Synchronize workspace command after

new files have been created in the shared folder

� Automatically by the server-based tool when the option Allow

Automatic creation of new documents is enabled

The document type that is assigned to automatically created documents is

the first one that matches the configured file extension or the default

document type when specified. Documents are automatically deleted in the

shared workspace when they are deleted by the client.

Note: To use the shared workspace functionality, a separate BlueCielo Meridian

Enterprise server license is required.

2.3.2 Autodesk Revit

Support for Autodesk Revit was first introduced with BlueCielo

Meridian Enterprise 2012. In the new 2013 release, we have extended the support for controlled concurrent engineering by

using Revit worksets in combination with the engineering content management functionality of BlueCielo Meridian

Enterprise. This allows work on modification projects while a central (as-built) master model is available. At the start of

modification projects, the master model is synchronized to the central modification model. Based on worksets, the

modifications can be assigned to a specific modification project in the vault. Other required modifications can be assigned to

another project.

After updating the project model, synchronization of the design to the central model can take place, allowing users to generate

the 2D drawings through sheet sets. The drawings generated

can be controlled through the document workflow. After review and approval, the master model can be synchronized, allowing

all project modifications to be incorporated and as-built

drawings generated through the master sheet set. Optionally, the generated .dwg files can be rendered to Adobe PDF, so Operations & Maintenance is provided with a new

revision of the master documentation.

The combination of the ability to manage the concurrent engineering process within BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 together with all other building-related information

turns BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 into a Building Information Management (BIM)

solution.

2.4 Usability improvements

2.4.1 Flexible navigation views

Besides the main Explorer view, user-specific views (navigation views) can be created to

show a filtered subset of the vault for specific groups or

activities, like to-do lists. We have greatly improved their

usability by supporting flexible depth folder structures.

Folders that are empty are not shown in the navigation

view structure, resulting in a folder structure without

empty folders. In addition, documents can appear in

multiple levels in a navigation view. The combination of

these two enhancements makes navigation views ideal for

plant breakdown structures or for replacement of the

Explorer view, which can be disabled per scope.

The use of flexible navigation

views has gained even more

power because the Field-Path

definition is supported in

navigation views. When a file is

dragged and dropped file within

a navigation view, the

properties are automatically

filled in that correspond to the

Field-Path definition, resulting in

automatically entered property

values throughout the structure

of the navigation view.

2.4.2 Notification enhancements

At all kinds of document-related events within the content management process,

notifications can be sent to persons in the organization who have subscribed to the

documents and for the specific events. Subscription can be done by the individual or

someone can do it for their colleagues, for example, based on their role in the

organization. We have made the control over enabling, disabling, and sending the

notifications much more flexible to avoid internal spam and unwanted notification

settings that remain in the system that require manual administration.

Control over when and to whom the notifications

must be sent can now be configured using

VBScript expressions, which also allows more

configurable message content. The reminder

feature (BCReminder.exe tool) has been

extended with the capability to automatically

subscribe groups of users. In a vault’s

configuration, a group can be added to the

notification for a set of documents that are

relevant to them.

Besides creating notification definitions, BlueCielo

Meridian Enterprise now includes an option to

disable notification assignments. Notifications can

be disabled per document type, to only occur for

important documents, or only for specific

document workflow statuses. For each workflow

status, notification can also be disabled

automatically, providing the notifications only

when needed.

2.4.3 Usability enhancements for power users

� Documents can have many references, automatically or manually created. The

referenced files are shown in the References dialog box. To reduce the

number of steps to work with referenced documents, the Open in application

command has been added to the shortcut menu. This avoids the step of first

having to go to the document to open the file.

� When working with scopes and switching from scope to scope, BlueCielo

Meridian Enterprise 2013 remembers the last selected document per scope.

This enables users to quickly continue their work where they left off.

� BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise has always provided the ability to search across

vaults. In the 2013 release, we have enabled this for vaults where scopes are

used.

� For vaults that use renditions, the renditions can have redlines too. We have

added an icon to show that the rendition has redlines.

1 2

2.5 Improved Web Access

2.5.1 Introduction of frames in web client

In BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2012, we introduced multiple windows for the web

client. They could be arranged on the desktop and allowed the user to have an overview

of the folder structure in one window next to viewing the selected document’s metadata

or content within a separate viewer window. We have now made it possible to show the

windows as frames within a single tab of Internet Explorer. The viewer can now be

enabled by clicking the Viewer tab.

2.5.2 Support for static collections

The web client now provides support for static collections.

The collections can be created within the web client, files

can be added to the created collection within the web

client, and the collections can be viewed.

1 3

1 3


2.5.3 Replace Content command has been added

For various reasons, a more up to date version of the

content of a document may be available and should

replace the content in the vault. Replacing content was

already possible within the desktop clients, but in the

2013 release we have added this feature to the web client

too.

2.5.4 Other improvements for web client users

� Support for working with batches has been added to workflow actions.

� When searching for documents, the search feature now supports routed

properties. Properties that get their values based on the value of other properties can be used when searching for files.

� The web client now works with automatic

synchronization of the local workspace.

The Application Integration feature can

be put in Remote mode and documents

are automatically downloaded to the

local workspace. Changes are uploaded

by the regular synchronization process

via HTTP.

1 4

1 4


2.6 Support for multi-threading

We have introduced an update to the database engine called

Hypertrieve 5. In Hypertrieve 5, multi-threaded read access to

data is provided. This means that multiple cores of 64-bit servers

can read the database simultaneously. This can increase the

number of users and the amount of data that the vault can

support. Overall, this results in a much smoother behavior of

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise even during very busy periods

when many users are accessing the vault.

Hypertrieve 5 is compatible with Hypertrieve 3 and is optional for

new vaults after upgrading to BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise

2013. Existing vaults can also be upgraded easily. Hypertrieve 5

is currently only available upon request to ensure BlueCielo

supervision. We will monitor the behavior of the vault to gather

practical performance information and to be able to quickly

further optimize the vault at the customer’s request.

2.7 Role-based application management

We have made it possible to split administration tasks from configuration tasks. Because

of this split, BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise application managers can be provided with a

specific set of options to manage the environment. Installations of the Administrator tool

can be created that can only perform user administration or license management for

example. Or for specific installations, the Administrator tool options can be reduced so

that certain application managers can perform certain tasks while others have limited

ability to perform other administrative tasks.

We have added the ability to unlock all local workspace documents for specific users in a

single vault from the shortcut menu.

Security settings can be applied within the

Configurator so that application managers

can be limited to, for example, only

navigation view configuration, only security

privileges, or other areas of vault

configuration.

1 5

2.8 Configurability enhancements

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 includes many enhancements over the 2012 release

to configure the environment. Some of them are listed below. More detailed descriptions

can be found in the release notes and other documentation.

� Additional privileges on commands

� Privileges on rendition property pages

� Reuse of properties in the Field-Path definition

� Field-Path definition use in projects

� VBScript events on references

� A CurrentPropertyName variable that is accessible from script

� Reading title blocks from script

2.9 New licensing

We have simplified our licensing model. To reduce the confusion and provide much more deployment flexibility, all BlueCielo Meridian clients are now authorized by PowerUser

licenses. One PowerUser license and one database connection license that is necessary

to use it can be purchased as a single license named the BlueCielo Meridian Classic User license (abbreviated to [M] Classic User license).

The impact of introducing the [M] Classic User license is that all licenses are harmonized

and there is always a database connection related to a client license. Both the PowerUser Client license (M—PURxx) and the Enterprise Database License (M—DBLxx)

are required by the license manager, but the PowerUser license immediately claims the database license. In this way, there is always a 1:1 relation between client licenses and

database licenses and because the license codes are backwards compatible, they work with older versions of BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise.

2.10 Documentation updates

The following technical documentation is available for this Meridian Enterprise release:

� BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 – What's New (this document) � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Administrator's Guide � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Configuration Guide � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 User's Guide � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Developer's Guide

(Includes the BlueCielo Meridian .NET SDK Reference Guide) � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 VBScript Reference Guide � BlueCielo Meridian Connection API 2013 Reference Guide � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Release Notes � BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 Supported Software

All documents are provided in English. Most guides are provided in both Adobe PDF and

Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) formats. The Adobe PDF versions are provided in both A4

and LETTER sheet sizes for optimal printing and include indexes. The Microsoft HTML Help versions are context-sensitive when F1 is pressed within the client applications.

Guides for browser-based products are also provided as web help (.html) sites that can be deployed within the firewall, complete with navigation and full-text search. BlueCielo-

hosted, context-sensitive web help versions of all BlueCielo technical documentation is expected to be available in the near future. All documents have been updated in this

release. Additional documentation is available for each Meridian Enterprise module.

3 BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013 modules

BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise can be used as an Asset Information Management solution

for owner/operators, as well as an Engineering Data Management solution for engineering contractors and equipment suppliers. This is possible through the solution’s

many features, its great flexibility to be configured to specific user requirements, and the availability of modules to address specific business problems. In this chapter, we will

give a brief introduction to the modules, followed by a description of the new possibilities in the 2013 release. Not all modules have yet been released for 2013 but the

latest service pack of the ones listed below work together with BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013:

� Asset Management Module 2013 � Advanced Project Workflow Module 2013

� Email Manager 2013 � FDA Module 2013

� Transmittal Management Module 2013

� Explorer 2012 SP4

� Global Collaboration Framework 2012 SP2 � Project Portal 2012 SP2

� Publisher 2012 SP4

3.1 Advanced Project Workflow Module

Modifications to engineering content are typically done through modification projects. BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise can be configured to allow quick changes for small plant

modifications but require more extensive adjustments to be done through projects. The Advanced Project Workflow Module enables the management of complex projects and

fully supports the management of change processes by owner/operators that are faced with complying with ever tighter regulations. We have further optimized the control over

modification projects.

The project selection dialog box can now be forced by scripting to appear, which

improves work process consistency in the organization. We have added commands to

the shortcut menu to link and unlink project copies. This allows newly received or

created documents to be linked to a master document or to unlink a project document

from its master to make a variation in design or to correct link errors.

1 7

1 7


New in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise is the use of the Field-

Path definition within projects. It is also supported if the

Advanced Project Workflow Module is not enabled and only

the Managed Change features are used. Project folders are

automatically created by the Field-Path definition and upon

the creation of a new document, all Field-Path definition

properties are automatically filled in up to the folder level

within the project where the document was created. The

same applies when a new file is dragged and dropped into a

folder as well as when copying a master document to a

project folder.

The combination of a Field-Path definition and flexible

navigation views increases the usability of navigation views within projects. From the

preferred view to the project content, users can fully manage the documentation.

3.2 Asset Management Module

The Asset Management Module enables BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise users to expand their engineering content management solution into a full Asset Information

Management system. Based on the unique identification numbers of assets (tag numbers) and functional locations, all related documents are immediately available to

the users. Through tag-document relationships, documents can be found in the Explorer client or through integration with maintenance management systems such as Maximo,

Ultimo, Datastream, SAP PM, or through facility management systems like Famis, Archibus or others.

The Asset Management Module actually consists of two parts: the BlueCielo Meridian

Enterprise client extension and the Meridian Explorer (server and client). For customers who want to use the extension within the Web Access client as well in the desktop client,

a new ASP page version of the extension is installed.

1 8

1 8


BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise supports basic functionality within AutoCAD P&ID. When

used with the Asset Management Module, the AutoCAD P&ID link is further extended. In

the 2013 release, we have enhanced managing tags within the vault and their use within

P&ID projects. If objects are

placed within the process &

instrumentation diagram while the

tags are not available yet in the

vault, a placeholder is used. An

export can be performed that

allows the controllers of the tag

numbers to provide the numbers

to other users. When the tag

numbers are available, the

extended tag management

functionality for AutoCAD P&ID

allows updating the placeholders

with the appropriate tag numbers.

In short, the enhanced AutoCAD P&ID link allows you to:

� Synchronize drawing tags to and from asset objects in the vault

� Synchronize (local or shared) workspace folder structures from the vault

� Show the Drawing Tags dialog box in AutoCAD P&ID for easy tag status

review

3.3 Meridian Explorer

The Meridian Explorer allows large viewer communities to access released engineering and asset data from the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise vault by use of the modern web

interface of the Meridian Explorer web client. The client provides an extensive set of search and navigation features that can be configured to meet the requirements of

specific user groups. The data in the Meridian Explorer repository, known as the Enterprise Data Library, also allows the use of common reporting tools like Microsoft

Reporting Services and Crystal Reports since it is stored in standard SQL Server or

Oracle databases.

The data made available to the users can be controlled through configuration of the Meridian Explorer server, which also allows consolidating data from multiple BlueCielo

Meridian vaults into one enterprise repository. Data can also be synchronized to multiple remote Meridian Explorer repositories to provide an improved user experience with local

data centers.

The primary differences between the Meridian Enterprise Data Library and the Meridian Explorer repository are highlighted in the following table.

Meridian Engineering Data Library Meridian Explorer Repository

Free of charge Requires server license

Repository not configurable Repository configurable

One BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise vault Supports multiple BlueCielo Meridian

Enterprise vaults

Metadata resides in the repository, files remain in the vault

Metadata resides in the repository, files in vault or repository, renditions in

repository optional (requires BlueCielo Publisher)

With the support of projects in the Meridian Explorer 2012 release, it has become possible to provide data that has been released for construction to the shop floor and

construction sites. The Feedback page allows the viewers to comment on the design data for quick

update, ensuring project progress and shortened project lead times.

Asset information like tags, functional locations, and

equipment linked to engineering content can be included to provide an asset-centric view on the

engineering content both during the construction phase as well as during operations and maintenance.

This requires extension of the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise environment with the Asset Management

Module (see above). With an asset-centric Meridian Explorer repository, integration is possible with

maintenance and facility management systems like

IBM Maximo, SAP PM, INFOR (Datastream), FAMIS, and many others.

Meridian Explorer 2013 is not yet available. Some enhancements have been made in

service packs 1 to 4. These service packs have made deployment easier and include improvements to working with the Feedback page. In the latest service pack, support

for the Dutch language is included as well as the latest CAD application versions.

3.4 Email Manager

The Email Manager provides automated importing of

email messages to a vault via configurable rule sets. Email messages and their attachments can be

automatically categorized and stored in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise vault.

The Email Manager is compatible with all email

servers that support the common IMAP protocol, for

example, Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes.

3.5 FDA Module

The FDA Module adds configurable FDA 21 CFR Part 11 technical controls to the already-

powerful technical document management system of BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise. To manage good manufacturing practices (GMP)-controlled engineering documents, the

module provides features related to:

� Enhanced authenticated access control � Event audit trail and reporting

� Electronic signature support for document & project workflows � Electronic signatures can be manifested on Adobe PDF document

renditions � Document workflow status email notification and subscription

� Rendition watermarking

In the 2013 release, only small enhancements have been added, for example, in handling renditions, for which we refer to the release notes.

3.6 Global Collaboration Framework

The Global Collaboration Framework allows geographically-separated engineering teams

to establish the seamless exchange of content and global workflow to enable global engineering processes while at the same time retaining their own local working

environments and processes in BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise. The Global Collaboration Framework can also be used to collaborate with external engineering teams,

streamlining outsourcing processes.

The latest version of the Global Collaboration Framework is 2012 SP2. This service pack provides small enhancements and is compatible with BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2013.

3.7 Transmittal Management Module

For customers working on complex projects involving suppliers and/or customers, the

Transmittal Management Module offers full control and tracking of what is sent to whom and what is received from whom, as well as when and how it was sent or received. The

module fully integrates with BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise, enabling projects to be executed up to 20% more efficiently and full control over project deliverables can be

proven. Since we are improving our solution offering through the Project Portal (see below) we have only made small enhancements to the Transmittal Management Module

to align it with this release.

2 1

2 1


3.8 Project Portal

The Project Portal helps companies to execute industrial asset projects with an external

network of suppliers, contractors, authorities, and customers. The portal enables project collaboration and document control for asset data managed in BlueCielo Meridian

Enterprise and new asset data produced during the industrial projects. From standard operational change projects to massive new capital projects, the Project Portal

contributes to lowering project costs and improving data quality.

The Project Portal tightly integrates with BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise allowing direct

collaboration with external parties who have no direct access to the company’s internal network. The portal supports transmittal management and mass data upload as well as

metadata validation during upload. More information about the key capabilities can be found on our website.

3.9 BlueCielo Publisher

BlueCielo Publisher offers the capability to render documents from various source

content management systems and to publish them into the same or another destination system. In the destination system, metadata can be published along with the file

(optionally rendered to a different format). If the properties in the destination system have different names, the properties can be mapped to the property names of the

source system.

We have enhanced the integration with BlueCielo Publisher by providing an extension to

the configuration that turns publishing into a service of the vault.
