Update DMS Folder ID

Set files can also be be text files and edited with any text editor, I keep all my set files for renditions in projectwise as text files.

you have to edit the database to modify a specific dms number and I think there maybe potential issues with how it keeps track of assigning the next number.

I have a powershell script I can use to sync a file across multiple datasources, let me check.

The set files I see have a binary component to them (but they were generated using InterPlot). You can open and view them with a text editor but when you save and try to use them, they won't work. Maybe an encoding issue (using Notepad++). I will try just using them as plain ASCII text and see if that works.

If you create them with Iplot they will be binary, you can just create them with a text editor.

This is the default one i start with for projects using sheet models

model=IP_SHEETDEF_MODELS
plot_area=sheet
paper_size=22x34
full_sheet=true
maximize
center
nodisplay[iplot_all]=[construction,text_nodes,ref_boundaries,enter_data]
color_table="IP_PWP:d#######\color.tbl"
design_script="IP_PWP:d#######\ICS_designscript_bw.dscript"
ms_pen_table="IP_PWP:d#######\ICS_pentable_bw.tbl"

I just need to edit the d####### entry (I haven't yet, but i'll probably script this in PowerShell)

this is my instructions I keep with the set files so I can remember the most frequent commands I need, plus all the little rules I've found over the years (some may not be exactly correct but following them seems to minimize issues)

# Notes:
#	1. Don't put comments in these files, renditions doesn't always like them
#	2. If list only one item don't put it in [] (e.g. area_colors=4 instead of area_colors=[4])
#	3. Don't put spaces around the =
#	4. If multiple items are show below, but they aren't in [] that means pick only one
#	5. Put most names (logical names, level names, paper names, etc..) in "", required if name has a space in it
#	6. If setting an odd paper size, check with CADD Support to make sure it's available on the server
#	7. If this file is in the same projectwise folder as your color table/design script/pen table you can use the
#	   working directory this file is in for the d###### folder below.
#	8. Not all options are shown below, for more info check the InterPlot help.

This is the powershell I use to sync files from one datasource to multiple destination datasources. If I remember correctly Copy-PWDocumentsBetweenDatasources was either really slow when I was copying between multiple destinations or there was a bug stopping it from working when I tried it.

This first copies out the files from the source, then logs into each destination and uploads the file to the same location in that datasource. When I was looking at this I think it may fail if the file doesn't already exist in the destination but that should be easy to catch and work around.

$workspaceRoot = "CADDLib\Connect\Standards"

$files = @(
	'Standards.cfg'
	'Macros\Example.mvba'
)

$Source = 'intsvr:dsource1'
$Dest = @(
	'intsvr:dsource2'
	'intsvr:dsource3'
	'intsvr:dsource4'
)

Write-Host "Logging into $($Source)"
if (-not (New-PWLogin $Source -BentleyIMS)) {
	Write-Error "Login to $($Source) failed"
	Exit 1
}

Write-Host "Retrieving files from $($Source)"
$fileList = @()
ForEach ($f in $files) {
	$pwPath = Join-Path $workSpaceRoot $f
	Write-Host "Copying out $($pwPath)"
	$pwd = Get-PWDocumentsBySearch -FolderPath (Split-Path $pwPath -Parent) -FileName (Split-Path $pwPath -Leaf)
	if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($pwd)) {
		Throw "Unable to locate document $($pwPath)"
	}
	$fileList += [PSCustomObject]@{
		'PWPath' = $pwPath
		'Local'  = $pwd.CopyOut()
	}
}

Write-Host

ForEach ($d in $dest) {
	Write-Host "Updating datasource $($d)"
	if (-not (New-PWLogin $d -BentleyIMS)) {
		Write-Error "Login to $($d) failed"
		Exit 1
	}
	ForEach ($f in $fileList) {
		Write-Host "Updating File: $($f.PWPath)"
		$pwd = Get-PWDocumentsBySearch -FolderPath (Split-Path $f.pwPath -Parent) -FileName (Split-Path $f.pwPath -Leaf)
		$pwd | New-PWDocumentVersion > $null
		$pwd | Update-PWDocumentFile -NewFilePathName $f.Local -KeepExistingFileName > $null
	}
}

Thanks Kevin!
