Question:

How can I have my WorkSet in a different location from my WorkSpace? As delivered, the WorkSet is a child of the WorkSpace, but I want it in a different folder structure.

Answer:

It is possible to store WorkSet (project) folders at a different location than the WorkSpace. CAUTION - Make sure this is really what is desired before implementing this option because it may cause additional administrative effort each time a new WorkSpace or WorkSet is created. This optional setup should only be considered if you have a requirement to isolate the project files (the WorkSet) from the WorkSpace.

1. Create a new folder at the desired location for the WorkSets.

2. Create a new folder in the WorkSets folder for EACH WorkSpace. The folders must be the same name as the WorkSpace.

3. MOVE the existing files and folders from the /WorkSpaces/{WorkSpace name}/WorkSets/ folder to the new /WorkSets/{WorkSpace name}/ folders created in step 3b. Do not copy the WorkSets folder itself, just the contents (files and sub folders).
   1. 
4. Define location of the WorkSets folder by setting the MY_WORKSET_LOCATION variable either with an environment variable or by editing the WorkSpaceSetup.cfg file. For example: MY_WORKSET_LOCATION = E:/Project WorkSets/
   1. 

There is an alternative setup where WorkSets are not stored by WorkSpace. They are still children of a WorkSpace, but are not organized that way in the folder structure. To make this work you will need to make a change to the WorkSpaceSetup.cfg file. Uncomment the _USTN_WORKSETSROOT=$(MY_WORKSET_LOCATION)/ line and comment out the line above it. When using this setup, skip step 2 in the above process. The disadvantage to this setup is that all WorkSets appear no matter which WorkSpace is selected. However, since the proper WorkSpace and WorkSet are branded into a file, they will correctly be opened even if a file from a non active WorkSpace is selected.
