Bentley Map User not integrating with Projectwise

I used Bentley Geospatial Administrator to create a user and feature definitions.  Everytime I have exported the user workspace on somebody's elses computer his or her connection with projectwise stops working in Microstation, Power InRoads, and Bentley Map. They can open dgn files with the user and everything will work properly but they cannot access projectwise any more.  Has anybody else run into this bug?

  • We figured out that we have to wait a couple days for our network to reboot for the projectwise configuration to work correctly again. Jerry- I may have confused you by using the word user instead of custom user workspace. All of my coworkers had multiple custom user workspaces on their computer that they had used with projectwise for years prior to me adding a custom user workspace for a new Bentley Map project to their computer. My question was whether I needed to do anything special in Geospatial to allow my user workspace to work with Projectwise. We all have Projectwise Select Series 4 which is the only version that can work with Bentley Map.
  • The settings need to be done in ProjectWise and not in Bentley Geospatial. Once the project and its users workspaces has been added via ProjectWise Administrator (on server) , then you must assign the appropriate managed workspaces to the folder. All file under the folder must open with the assigned user workspace. I do not know this procedure in details and I hope someone will have some inputs about it since I am looking to make it works on my side.

    I hope that helps a little.

    This is a test

  • As Seb has eluded to., the GSA does not interact with ProjectWise natively to maintain a managed workspace. This includes any updates, revisions ,etc. that you make on either the ProjectWise OR GSA side. If you make changes to the GSA you must update the workspace in PW again. Typically I recommend a unmanaged (or classical) workspace for Map and not a managed workspace.
