Redirect Connect to our server

I think I got Microstation Connect to redirect to my server.  I modified the C:\ProgramData\Bentley\CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaceSetup.cfg file to point to

my server which contains the file structure:
K:\WWE Configuration\
K:\WWE Configuration\Organization\
K:\WWE Configuration\WorkSpaces\

It all seems to be working fine.  Just curious why I would not put the WorkSpaceSetup.cfg file on my server under K:\WWE Configuration\     

and each local machine just put another redirect file, ie  ServerRedirect.cfg  that contained the simple line: %include K:/WWE Configuration/*.cfg

I tried this second method and it didn't work. It just reverted back to the local area when I tried to create a new WorkSpace.  Is the mslocal or msdir stopping this?
Putting a small .cfg file on each computer is the simple way we did it with V8i and it worked perfectly.     I have no problem putting the WorkSpaceSetup.cfg on each machine if that what it takes.  

We are just starting to migrate over and I want to get this working.   Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi,
    Sorry we have not replied to this earlier.
    Putting a modified WorkSpaceSetup.cfg on each machine is currently our recommended approach.
    Early next year in CONNECT Edition Update 4 we will add another file in the Configuration folder, ConfigurationSetUp.cfg (which will be read first), that will allow you to define a new variable, _USTN_USER_CONFIGURATION, to direct the local machine to a networked configuration.
    The Early Access Program release for AECOsim Building Designer includes this update if you would like to try it out.
