    All files are getting downloaded when one file is opened

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): N\A
      Environment: N\A
      Area: ProjectWise Integration
      Subarea: Application Configurations

    Problem

    When I am trying to open one file in AECOsim Building Designer using ProjectWise Explorer, all the files in that folder are getting downloaded to my local system. There are no dependencies among the files and the deployment was also done using a deployment guide.

    Solution

    ProjectWise works on a technology called the Delta File Transfer. This means, whenever a file is checked in or out, not the whole workspace or the project gets downloaded from or uploaded to the server. Only the changes get synchronized. That suggests, if the files are not there in the local system, it is going to be downloaded for the first time and whenever there is a “Delta” in those files or the folder.

    To stop downloading the irrelevant files, the particular configuration variable that makes those files get downloaded should be added to the Exclude from Copy Out list. In this case the variables to be added are TF_DRAWINGS and MS_RFDIR.

    The following image shows where the Exclude from Copy Out list can be found in ProjectWise Administrator.

     

    The following image shows the list after the two variables are added.

    NOTE: In some cases you might need to add GCDIR_DESIGN_FILES into this list as well if the above two does not seem to stop downloading the files.
