One Configuration

Introduction

One Configuration is about the ability to use the same Configuration/Workspace/Workset with multiple PowerPlatform products.  

This will primarily by accomplished by the use of "Product Group" subfolders  under each of  the standards (Organization, Workspace, and WorkSet).

New Variables

New variables and include statements have been added to the msconfig.cfg file:

_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME
_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME

These variable will be predefined by the products.  Examples of _USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME:

• Building
• Civil
• Plant
• Structural

The _USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME will also be predefined by the product.

New Include Statements

New Include statement have also been added to the msconfig.cfg that correspond with the new variables.

Organization:

%if exists ($(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/)
     _USTN_ORGANIZATION_GROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/
     %include $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION_GROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level Organization
     %if exists ($(_USTN_ORGANIZATION_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/)
          _USTN_ORGANIZATION_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_ORGANIZATION_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/
          %include $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level Organization
     %endif
%endif

WorkSpace:

%if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/)
     _USTN_WORKSPACE_GROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/
     %include $(_USTN_WORKSPACE_GROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level WorkSpace
     %if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSPACE_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/)
          _USTN_WORKSPACE_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_WORKSPACE_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/
     %include $(_USTN_WORKSPACE_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level WorkSpace
     %endif
%endif

WorkSet:

%if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSETSTANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/)
     _USTN_WORKSET_GROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_WORKSETSTANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_GROUPNAME)/
     %include $(_USTN_WORKSET_GROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level WorkSet
     %if exists ($(_USTN_WORKSET_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/)
          _USTN_WORKSET_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS=$(_USTN_WORKSET_GROUP_STANDARDS)$(_USTN_PRODUCT_ONE_SUBGROUPNAME)/
     %include $(_USTN_WORKSET_SUBGROUP_STANDARDS)*.cfg level WorkSet
     %endif
%endif

At each configuration level, these statements occur after the "common" standards include statement,  allowing a the processing of configurations that are common to all products be read and then the supplemental reading of product specific configurations.
