    change folder environment in batch

    Offline Luc Poulin over 7 years ago

    Hi All

    I wanted to delete an environment, but i suspect i can't because it is being used by folders

    I find the folders using this specific envrionment, However I have 1000 of those folders....

    Any tool to change in batch the environment associate to a folder? or we still rely on the one by one method?

      Hi Luc,

      Greetings!!!
      Are you trying to change the Environment from one to another? Or just delete?
      It's important to know that deleting an Environment will result in deletion of all the attributes which has been created for that particular Environment.
      .........................................................................................................................

      Currently, we don't have a specific tool as you require but we do have the PWEXPT & PWIMPT Utility which you can use\try. The Utility can be found under - C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\bin. You will be able to select Multiple folders for Export\Import,
      also if you open the Exported file (.AAM Extension) in a Notepad it will give you additional information.

      I suggest you try this tool on a folder or two & update.

      Thanks

      Franky, I'm looking at this since I have a similar problem. Using both the tool seems straight forward but I'm a little confused on how to change the environment to overwrite the folder when I import. In other words do I need to modify the aam file or is there a different step?
