    Scan for references tool does not work on Microstation J files

    Product(s): ProjectWise Explorer Client
    Version(s): 08.11.11.559
    Area: Integration - DGN Platform
    Subarea: Scan for References and Links
    Original Author: Dana Guthrie, Bentley Technical Support Group

    Problem Description

    User has MSJ files in ProjectWise and when he runs the scan for reference tool the references do not resolve because MicroStation V8i used by the scanref tool, opens the Msj files read only.

    Steps to Resolve

    1. In MicroStation on the system you will run scanref, open MicroStation, go to workspace configuration

    2. Find the variable ms_openv7 and choose edit, change the value to 3

    3. This will tell MicroStation V8i to open v7 files read write so that when the scanref tool runs the MSJ files will open read\write and process correctly.
