Working with WMS - Are there any Special Configuration Variables?

The code goes thru the layer wininet, the same as Internet Expllorer. In Raster Manager you would do File > New > WMS. You would enter the URL and then set the map layers you want to add and do a Save or Save and Attach.   This will create a .XWMS which contains the URL and map layer information. When you attach the .XWMS file in Raster Manager you would do File > Attach > WMS. The raster image will reside on your WMS server and will be displayed in Raster Manager. When you do zooms and pans raster manager goes out to your WMS server and reads the data and displays it

We have a .XWMS file already created by a client. I want to place this file on the network so others can use it. My question is, does microstation locate this file to find the wms server and if somehow, it cannot find the .xwms file, the raster files are not found?
Or is the information from the .xwms file stored in the DGN file and as long as the Internet is available and the client's wms server is working, the raster files are always found?

The .XWMS file will show being attached in Raster Manager. When your DGN file is opened it will read the .XWMS file that shows in Raster Manager and will use the URL in the .XWMS file to point to the WMS Server where the image resides. If the URL that is used cannot connect to the WMS Server then you will see a camera symbol with a red slash across it. If the .XWMS file cannot be found that shows in Raster Manager then the .XWMS file line will show RED.

So as I understand this, as long as we place the .xmws file in a folder pointed to by MS_RFDIR, and the WMS server and files are still correct and available, the raster manager will load all the images and files.
