Hi!
I am using ABD SS6 with PW Managed Workspace.
We have a dataset for our company things (Dataset_BURKEN) in the "DatasetExtensions" folder and mostly use only its content: levels, parts, cells, catalogs and catalog items, etc. We wanted it to be totally separate from the regional dataset we use.
My problem is that SS6's dataset filter sees only the regional dataset as "Company" which is not good, because when I create a new item, I can only choose target XMLs from the regional dataset. As I know the BB_COMPANY_DATASET_FILTER variable handles this. I changed it to Dataset_BURKEN, and later also set it to see both datasets, but ABD still only reads the regional.
For placing items from the catalogs, everything works well.
Currnetly only I have SS6, everybody else use SS5. The workspace was set up with SS5 a year ago and we haven't done the SS6 integration yet. Can it be the cause?

ABD SS6 - Adding Company Dataset Folders contains advice about setting up separate company dataset folders for non-ProjectWise installations. Unfortunately I have not tested this in ProjectWise myself so can't offer immediate guidance on implementing this in a ProjectWise environment, but hopefully this suggests a start point.

Company Filter (BB_DATASET_COMPANY_FILTER) and Project filter (BB_DATASET_PROJECT_FILTER) work fine outside but are useless within PWise SS4 , for some reason...
The variables, with the correct values in the configuration dialog, have zero effect on "company" as a filter in the datagroup catalog, which remains stuck on the UK dataset...
Further, in the Catalog item manager, the "Company" lists data from the UK dataset while the "Project" lists items from the Company dataset bundled with items from the Project Dataset...
Yet if I attempt at selecting a Library source file from the UK dataset/datagroupcatalogs folder, I get an error message "Invalid Library Folder!"
Generally, giving any value to these variables changes zero - the catalog item manager and the add item filters will always display UK dataset and Company+ Project data for the company and project filters respectively... At least in PWise SS4. Should we re-post/re-direct this to the ProjectWise forum?

Hi Steve,
1 - This variable is set to 0 in both cases. 2 - Yes.
