    Selective Workspace Copy purge -More effective CAD Standard Management needed

    Gary Mansager
    Offline Gary Mansager over 8 years ago

    If a file is removed from the Managed Workspace, it will still be utilized by MicroStation on client machines if it is not deleted or purged manually. This is problematic, as these "bad" files have the potential to cause standards compliance issues and can cause other issues such as project losses due to non-compliance of the CAD standard.

    We are looking for a tool that purges specific latent copies of a Managed Workspace. An automated tool to do this is preferred.

    For example, a file is removed from the Managed Workspace stored in ProjectWise. However, the current workflow of ProjectWise does not remove the latent cached copies. We need some way of effectively managing these latent copies, since we have no way of determining how many cached copies there are, and no way of knowing which machines need to purge erroneous file(s). Is there a tool or process that we can use? We are not looking for a manual workflow, but an automated fix.

      Gary and Scott, this is a known issue (defect 28061) and in the meantime, I believe there are tools created by Bentley Professional Services that might help at the least report on variables used in your MicroStation session. I am not sure of the specifics and/or availability of these tools, but your account manager should be able to help out on that side of things.

      Hi, well I just stumbled on this issue....... This could cause huge issues to say the least. The whole point of a Managed Workspace is so a CAD admin can ensure his users have the latest, and more importantly, correct set of config files! What is the status of this please?? This needs to be resolved.
