Hi,
this is partially funny, partially annoying situation: When trying to export V8i project from GSA CE, this message is displayed:
But how the index can be removed, when GSA does not display this node anymore?
Of course it can be solved to open the project in GSA V8i and to removed the node, but this is bad workflow, especially when GSA CE asks for approval to update the project when its opened for the first time. Does it mean the project is updated, but in fact not updated, because not supported parts are still there?
With regards,
Jan
We apologize for this, we should have caught this one before the release. It will definitely be fixed in the next release schedule in a couple of months. In the meantime, you are right, the only workaround is to use the V8i GSA to first remove the reference files index.
The workspace behavior has changed in the CONNECT environment. The first export effectively fixes this in the schema. It should also have fixed the reference file index, but obviously something goes wrong. For files without reference files index, the export correctly fixes the workspaces.
Sorry again

Hi Yves

yes, even in MicroStation a migration requires huge redesign of customers' configurations maintained for years. I guess Bentley Map will be even bigger challenge ;-)

I did, but I ended with weird error message from Bentley Map, not able to even open dialog and browse files. I guess it's because the export in V8i is done outside standard BM workspace location and customized shortcut with startup parameters (defining this specific workspace location) is used, so some manual modification will be required also in CE project.

The Bentley Map users will not have to do any work because of the redesign of CONNECT workspace. All this work is done by the GSA while re-creating your schema using the CONNECT GSA.
I need to be sure that we understand each other. The suggested workaround is to open the schema in V8i GSA to remove the reference files index and to create a new schema. But this newly created schema (without reference files index) need to be opened in CONNECT GSA and exported again to adopt the workspace to the CONNECT environment.

Unfortunately it's not true. After prepartion schema in GSA V8i and publishing project in GSA CE, BM starts (from GSA) but is not able to open dialog for browsing files. A weird error was displayed.
I am quite busy now because of project milestone, but I plan to check what is happening later.
Regards,
I will have someone running the same steps here right now. I will reply with the result as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time
