Hi,
now we all are working from home (covid) I have some problems for some users.
for the most of all users, every thing is working well (but slow) on the VPN (dataset and files are on the business-server)
preferences for all users are stored on the server: _USTN_USERNAME = $(USERNAME)_USTN_HOMEROOT = $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)USERS/$(USERNAME)/$(computername)/_USTN_HOMEPREFS = $(_USTN_HOMEROOT)prefs/_USTN_PREFNAMEBASE = $(_USTN_HOMEPREFS)$(USERNAME)
eg: B:\Connect\Configuration\Organization\Users\rbe\SIGNUM042\prefs\RBE.upf
so we have a user directory, organized per user, and then per machine (a user works on different machines and settings are different)
when a particular user starts OBD, the wrong settings are readOBD reads from: C:\Users\rbe\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenBuildingsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs\Personal.ucfso: the wrong directory, and wrong fileOBD starts in installed modus, but after this it goes further and goes to the server datasetafter adjusting settings - and save settings - the settings are saved to the wright directory unther the wright name:B:\Connect\Configuration\Organization\Users\rbe\SIGNUM042\prefs\RBE.upf
but after restarting OBD, OBD is NOT reading this file but the initial personal.upfso: none of the new settings is loaded.
how to prevent OBD reading "personal.upf" (if server can be found - on an active VPN connection) and loading in first startup-steps the right "RBE.upf" on the server because these settings are not re-written during startup process like other variables are there some switches I can attach to the program start shortcut ("C:\Program Files\Bentley\AECOsim CONNECT Edition\OpenBuildingsDesigner\OpenBuildingsDesigner.exe") ? or how to fix this
Hi Rik,
These notes might help to resolve this, your case is not identical but controlling _USTN_USERCFG in a similar way to the OneDrive suggestion might be the solution:
