This has been a collaborative effort involving Bentley UK colleagues Brenden Roche, Bogdan Wasylkiw and Jakub Wachocki. Thank you for your input and feedback guys.
I've designed this configuration to use as much of the delivered workspace as possible. By only redirecting the _USTN_SITE variable, the local system folder is used, there is no need to modify the USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT variable as I have not changed it. Note that neither mslocal.cfg or msdir.cfg are modified.
I would recommend leaving the system folder local. There is no need to touch it so use the local folder location. During installation the local workspace location is written to the msdir.cfg file with the variable _USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT=C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\\WorkSpace/. You can then set _USTN_SYSTEMROOT=$(_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT)system/. This will allow you to upgrade without having to worry about redirecting variables and dealing with a networked system folder.
Hi Marc, really great effort and document, that many of us were looking/hoping for. But I have a question.
On first sight it seems that the Workspace/System folder on the network is used, and not the local Workspace/System folder, is this correct? Because I thought it was best practice to redirect the variable for the systemroot back to your local installation? Could you give me some insight/clarification on this? thanks
