working with # configurations

Hi Rik, sorry just seen this...I'm not certain of the answer, one thing to check is:

The information contained in the Mange Configuration utility is stored in the user preferences in the configuration.xml file. Is this file present on both A: and B; instances of your preferences?

Or:

The _USTN_LAST_ACTIVE_CONFIGURATION variable is stored in cache.ucf, also in the prefs folder. Is this file present on both A: and B; instances of your preferences?

The info in this blog may help: Configuration Tips - Manage Configuration Utility

Hi Mark,

I have found the "configuration.xml" file
it is written and located: C:\Users\rro\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenBuildingsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs
we relocate our user prefs to be stored for each user/machine in the configuration directory (see above) A: or B: the file is not found in the prefs directory on A: nor B:

can I simply copy the "configuration.xml" into the prefs on A: and B:
also I never have heard from the _USTN_LAST_ACTIVE_CONFIGURATION variable, when is this created, and where is this stored?

in the personal.ufc on the %appdata%   I have found: _USTN_LAST_ACCESS_CONFIGURATION = A:/Connect/Configuration/
but my configurations are not mentioned to be saved on the C: drive
they should be something as: RRO.ucf in the "A:\Connect\Configuration\Organization\Users\RRO\SIGNUM011\prefs" directory - that is the place where the RRO.UPF is situated (RRO= my username)

regards Rik

Hi Rik,

Yes, you can simply copy configuration.xml into the prefs on A and B.

To relocate preferences including the UCF you first need to modify the behaviour of _USTN_USERCFG, I have covered this in CONNECT Edition - Configuration Tips : User Preferences in OneDrive or Other Locations. I think that will enable to to achieve what you are after.
