    Bentley’s ProjectWise is an engineering project team collaboration system that is an integrated solution for content management, content publishing, design review, and asset lifecycle management.

    gINT supports ProjectWise in all its file open and save as operations, except for files specific to an individual user (setup.gsh, personal dictionary, etc.). This allows files used by gINT and exported from gINT to be stored in managed ProjectWise repositories instead of on a computer or network drive.

    The only requirement to use ProjectWise with gINT is a copy of ProjectWise on your system. 

    The project file (.gpj) and library file (.glb) are uploaded to ProjectWise by a simple copy.

    How to Integrate gINT with ProjectWise

     Do not open the gINT project file or library from the location in ProjectWise.  It is not necessary to open ProjectWise Explorer at all to carry out the methodology below, or when working in gINT through ProjectWise.

     For each file open or file save as operation a ProjectWise dialog will first appear.  If you wish to open a file on your computer or network, or to save to your computer or network, click the Cancel button.  The usual Windows file open or save as dialog will appear.

     When working with a ProjectWise file, you are working with a copy on your local system. The file will be saved back to ProjectWise either when the operation is completed (e.g., edit scripts) or when the program is closed (e.g, gINT project files or libraries). The reason for the difference in behavior is speed.  Depending on the location of your ProjectWise server and your connection speed, it can take a significant amount of time to save and retrieve a large project, whereas scripts are usually small. The program distinguishes between these two types of files and handles them appropriately.

    Open the gINT Project in ProjectWise:

    1. Open gINT as normal from the Start Menu on the computer. Choose File System Properties General and untick Suppress ProjectWise:

    2. Press OK.

      The ProjectWise Log In dialog will appear:

    3. Tick Use Windows Single Sign-On for authentication and Remember me (use auto-login next time).  Click Log in:

    4. Choose File Open Project. 

      The Choose A Database dialog will appear:

    5. Choose the relevant ProjectWise folder under Folder and the relevant project file (.gpj) in the Document window (link can be copied directly from ProjectWise).  Press Open.

      The gINT project is now loaded from ProjectWise.  In ProjectWise it will have a red check mark next to it to show that it is checked out.

    Open the gINT Library in ProjectWise:
    1. Open File Change Library

      The "Select gINT V8i Library" window will appear: 

    2. Choose the relevant ProjectWise folder under Folder and the relevant library file (.glb) in the Document window (link can be copied directly from ProjectWise).  Press Open.

    gINT is now ready to use as you  normally would.  

    When finished, simply close gINT.  Depending on how ProjectWise is set up for your organization, you may or may not see the Check In dialog:  

    + If you do get the Check In dialog, click the Check In button.  

    + If you do not see the dialog, then Check In will happen automatically.

    Either way, your work is hereby saved back to ProjectWise.  

    The next time you open gINT, you will only have to select the project in the Choose A Database dialog.  gINT will automatically open the library from ProjectWise.
