Overview

An OpenPlant datasource (and all it's ProjectWise integrated components) requires a fair amount of configuration before it  is up and running for everyday use.  This article will discuss the standard steps for creating an "out-of-the-box" project in OpenPlant Modeler.  The information below assumes that a supported Windows Server OS is already configured as SQL Server and all OpenPlant applications are installed.  It should also be noted that this series of articles focuses on establishing a working Datasource for use in conjunction with OpenPlant Modeler ONLY.  Another article to be published at a later date will detail the additional configuration required for OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and OpenPlant Reporting.  For further information regarding steps to achieve this, please see the following articles:
