    Hi,

    I have excel workbook containing hyperlinks of documents. All my documents are store in Projectwise. When I open my excel workbook and click the hyperlinks it open the documents from projectwise.

    But when I upload same workbook into SharePoint and open it in Excel web app. and click on any of my hyperlink it does not work. Could you please help me in resolution of this issue.

     

    Thanks,

    Atul

      The ProjectWise links use a proprietary ProjectWise protocol (PW://server:datasource/...) and I suspect that the ability to launch into ProjectWise Explorer is dependant on the installation of the i-Desktop integration for the application you are using to view the document.

      In this case you are using a Web browser (I assume this is IE) and will require a (pluggable) protocol handler for ProjectWise to be registered to handle the PW: protocol. Such a pluggable protocol handler may or may not exist already (Bentley or someone else in the community may be able to answer that question) and it may only be applicable for internet explorer.

      See this link about registering Protocol handlers.

      Hi David,

      I checked for pluggable PW protocol in my registry and it is already present. I can browse the PW:/ url in internet explorer. But I am trying for opening same "PW:/ url" as a hyperlink from "Microsoft Excel Web App", and this is not working for me.

      Regards,
