Dear Kestutis Mitkus,
The problem originates when I try to connect a server (which I create in SQL server) with projectwise administrator, since the connection fails and it does not allow me to create a datasource. Without said datasource I cannot enter projectwise explorer. It is important to mention that I only want to work on my computer and do not want to connect to other computers on this server, also my computer has regional settings other than English, specifically Peru.
Because of this, I am wondering if there is a way to work with Bentley Facilities Space Planner and OpenBuildings but without Projectwise Explorer?
And if it is not possible, I would be grateful if you could provide me with information on the steps to be able to create a server correctly so that it connects with ProjectWise Administrator and be able to generate a datasource to use ProjectWise Explorer with Bentley Facilities Space Planner?
Thanks in advance.
Hello Dennis,
Unfortunately, but Facilities Space Planner can't work without ProjectWise and OBD or Mstn.
How to create PW datasource with steps how to register new Server is in this link:docs.bentley.com/.../GUID-0A86D606-E051-D19D-39D7-78357783D9DD.html
Short instruction is:
on Server machine
BFSP has a default Office data model configuration, which can help while creating and prepearing your own model.
In order to import this model, you should have installed all Facilities Adminitrator tools, in which you will find Setup and Validation tool. This tool will alow in prepearing datasoure for BFSP and will help to import standard Office space model configuration. You can find information about this tool in below link:
communities.bentley.com/.../where-is-the-setup-and-validation-tool-in-connect-edition
We can help you out with whole this procedure of prepearing BFSP environment. Just create a service request. We can arrange live meeting and then we can do all this together. This way we can show you more then how to set it up.

Hello Kestutis,
Point number 3 you mention "PW integration service" what are you referring to? I understand that it must be some ProjectWise service but I don't know exactly what service you are referring to and how to run this.
Helo Jean,
When you install PW Integration Server it is adding new Local Service on your server, but it is not always starting it. So we always check if it is running.
You can create a Service Help Request and then my ProjectWise coleagues will call you and during live meeting they will help you to prepeare your ProjectWise datasource. Then we can continue to configure it for Bentley Facilities.
In below link you can find guide how simple it is to create this Service request.https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/w/wiki/54904/creating-a-new-service-request-technical-support
