Drawing Extraction files are not getting created when using the ProjectWise Document Creation Wizard in ProjectWise Explorer (set BB_SUPPORT_PW_DCW=1) If the Document Creation Wizard is disabled, an extraction file will get created in any ProjectWise folder.
By default, BuildingDesigner_PW.cfg set in the local file BuildingDesigner_PW.cfg under the C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\config\appl folder, and includes the description:
# If set to '1', then the creation of extractions file to be the responsibility of the DEM.# If set to '0', then the creation of extraction file is defered to ProjectWise's Document Creation Wizard (DCW)
If a user has set up Workflow States in ProjectWise Administrator, the Workflow States Security privileges will override all other project or folder and document security in ProjectWise unless there are no Workflow States set up at all. Then the Project and Document privileges will prevail.Defining Workflow States will work with Drawing Extraction as long as all users are given the following access rights:Folder Read, Folder Write, File Create, File Read, File Write. With these security privileges, users can create new, and recalculate extractions with the ProjectWise Document Creation Wizard.
Workflow-based and Object-based Security.
Access control comes in two forms: workflow-based and object-based. The type of access control you use is a matter of preference, but is generally influenced by how your datasource is set up.
If your datasource is workflow driven, you can use a workflow-based approach to access control, also referred to as workflow security hierarchy. For example, workflow1 has stateA, stateB, stateC, and stateD. In ProjectWise Administrator, you can set workflow1 to only be accessible by certain users in the datasource. Then you can set which of those users have access to each state in the workflow, and what permissions each user has for folders or documents in that state (for example, read-only, read/write). When workflow1 is assigned to a folder in ProjectWise Explorer, the folder and document security you defined for workflow1 will automatically be applied to the selected folder and its documents.
If your datasource is not workflow driven, you can use an object-based approach, also referred to as object security hierarchy. In this approach, folder and/or document permissions can be set for the entire datasource in ProjectWise Administrator. Any folders, subfolders and documents in ProjectWise Explorer will inherit these permissions. At any level in ProjectWise Explorer, new permissions can be set which the lower levels inherit. As each new level is created it automatically inherits the permission set from the previous level. This permission set can then be edited and will become the object's own permission set.
The two approaches are independent and only merge when a question of access rights to a particular document or folder must be resolved. If an object has no security items defined for itself, it inherits the security items from the first object up the hierarchy that has defined items.
Inheritance situation :
Result:
a document, not in a workflow, with no items defined
Result = The document inherits security from its folder and on up the hierarchy if necessary.
a document, in a workflow, with no items defined
Result = If there is defined security in only one hierarchy then the document inherits that security. If there is defined security in both hierarchies then the following rules apply:
if a security item from either hierarchy has the permission “No Access,” this item applies
if the above is not found, the Workflow security hierarchy applies
