CONNECTED project creation

I am looking to both 'Enable ProjectWise Drive' and turn on 'Sync Work Area Participants' as part of our new CONNECTED project creation process. I am looking for Powershell options. Has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks

Dave

Does Set-PWWorkAreaConnectionUserSync not work for you? It's possible it doesn't as we are getting varying reports of success. It worked at the time I did this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/YoEtJg0yjO…

Agree. Would be useful for you to file a ticket. Don't mention PowerShell, but just ask, "How do you recommend that we automate the process of enabling UserSync and Drive, non-interactively, in our newly…

Hi Dave. I just reviewed this, along with the video and this does the trick. Thanks so much for posting this.

What I have found is the Set-PWWorkAreaConnectionUserSync must be run after the Add-PWConnectedProject is run. A delay does not work, I need to run the script, get the CONNECTED project created, then run this UserSync after. Running it all in the same script does not work.

Correct. Connected project must exist to do anything.

Hi Dave. I have more odd behaviour with this and wondered if you have seen the same. I have ProjectWise Drive installed so that when I create the connected project the ProjectWise Drive is enabled by default. When I run this usersync it typically fails. I then go to the project and when I first look at it the configuration of the connection the Participants are Not Synced, ProjectWise Drive is not enabled. I refresh the page and ProjectWise Drive will then show the green check mark. I rerun the UserSync and it works! I refresh the page and it now shows as synced, ProjectWise Drive has the green check mark.

This is the message when running -verbose at the end of the process on one project. Based on this I know the UserSync didn't do anything.

'VERBOSE: Response status code: OK
VERBOSE: From ProjectWise Web Connections service:
[]'

I go to the project, refresh the page, make sure Drive is checked off, rerun the usersync and I get this. And I know this works based on the data that comes in after the Web Connections service line.

VERBOSE: From ProjectWise Web Connections service:
[{"id":"dff4ad6472f17f936a5a95fdb807f052991c9b8..........etc etc etc

This does not make any sense to me.

Any thoughts?

Those APIs are kind of in flux and I also see inconsistent behavior. Make sure you are using latest version so that you get the proper OIDC token.
