I am going through my debug file, and I'm still sorting out configuration variables.
In msconfig.cfg I see:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Include the workset configuration file if _USTN_WORKSETNAME defined. # _USTN_WORKSETNAME can be set by (in order of priority): # 1) -ww command line option. # 2) operating system environment variable. # 3) configuration variable. #---------------------------------------------------------------------- %level System %if defined (_USTN_WORKSETNAME) && exists ($(_USTN_WORKSETSROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME).cfg) _USTN_WORKSETCFG = $(_USTN_WORKSETSROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME).cfg %endif #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # iF _USTN_WORKSETCFG is not defined. # check if active configuration has "NoWorkSet.cfg" # if active configuration contains "NoWorkSet.cfg" define it to _USTN_WORKSETCFG # else # define _USTN_WORKSETCFG with the "NoWorkSet.cfg" present in the delivered configuration #---------------------------------------------------------------------- %if !defined (_USTN_WORKSETCFG) % if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT)NoWorkSpace/NoWorkSet.cfg) _USTN_WORKSETCFG : $(_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT)NoWorkSpace/NoWorkSet.cfg % else _USTN_WORKSETCFG : $(_USTN_INSTALLED_CONFIGURATION)WorkSpaces/NoWorkSpace/NoWorkSet.cfg % endif _USTN_HAVEWORKSET = 0 %else _USTN_HAVEWORKSET = 1 %endif %if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSETCFG)) % include $(_USTN_WORKSETCFG) level WorkSet %endif
In my debug file, I see this:
(System): _USTN_WORKSETCFG=$(_USTN_WORKSETSROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME).cfg [M:\Bentley\ORD\Configuration\Worksets\.cfg]
This is very obviously not a viable workset cfg file. This faulty definition is confirmed in the summary of values at the bottom of the debug
_USTN_WORKSETCFG : System = M:\Bentley\ORD\Configuration\Worksets\.cfg : Application = (null) : Organization = (null) : WorkSpace = (null) : WorkSet = (null) : Role = (null) : User = (null)
but back to the debug itself, directly following the definition of _USTN_WORKSETCFG, I see:
Processing macro file [M:\Bentley\ORD\Configuration\Worksets\21-XX_KyTest.cfg]
Which is indeed the proper workset configuration. _USTN_WORKSETNAME is indeed correctly defined at the user level
I also see several other "workset" variables defined in msconfig, but not adapting to any variables defined later in the process.
I feel very confused. Can someone help me understand whether variables that may not exist when msconfig.cfg is run can be defined later, and revise the variable as defined, or if I just need to explicitly define them all "at level" as I go through.
I had thought I might be able to use a pared down workset cfg by "predefining" a number of variables based on _USTN_WORKSETNAME and _USTN_WORKSETROOT, but I wonder if that variable is defined too late for the bulk of my definitions.
