MicroStation SS3 is out; Bentley Map SS3 is out -- any idea when Bentley Water SS3 will be out?
Without Bentley Water SS3 being out, can I upgrade the basic MicroStation on my computer to SS3 from SS2 without causing problems?
I second what Martin has said about MicroStation SELECTseries3. But I would like to add that there is an issue under investigation with upgrading Bentley Map to SELECTseries3 in that scenario. If you can hold off longer on the Map upgrade, please do until we can get you more information.
Is there any progress on upgrading to Bentley Map SS3?
Can someone advise me on the best way to upgrade to BM SS2?
Also is there any known issues with upgrading the Bentley Map component to SS2 when you connect to Oracle?
Thanks
I started this thread last year and as I don't monitor these forums on an ongoing basis I missed the follow-up discussion because it took a while for it to get started.
Late in 2012 after our Bentley Corporate Account Manager -Utilities responded that Water (SS2) would work on MicroStation (SS3) I tried to do so. It did not work and after contacting Bentley Water tech support I ended up removing MicroStation (SS3) and reinstalling SS2 versions.
Is this concept of installing Bentley Map(SS3) on top of MicroStation(SS3) and installing B-Water(SS2) on top of that an accepted and certificated Bentley Systems procedure? The Bentley Water tech support never mentioned it as an option.
So what is happening with Bentley Water? It has not been upgraded to SS3 status; are there any plans to do so?
I have yet to see or hear about "Bentley Utilities Designer" -- I don't see anything on the Bentley website.

Hello Brian,
A preview of Bentley Utilities Designer is posted in SELECT Downloads under the Download Category "Beta and Work in Progress". The product is in Certification and Beta 2 will follow in February. The final release is in Q1 2013.
If you require more information, I can contact you directly.
Thanks for your inquiry and regards,
Alfredo
Thank you for the information about Bentley Utiltiies Designer.
Still wondering about B-Water. and running it on top of MicroStation SS3:

Hi Brian,
I appologize for not being clear. There is no current plan to upgrade Bentley Water since Bentley Utilities Designer replaces Bentley Water and a number of other products.
Certification tells me that Bentley Water V8i Ss2 will work with MicroStation V8i Ss3, but it has issues with Bentley Map V8i Ss3.
To run Bentley Water V8i Ss2 with MicroStation V8i Ss3:
please uninstall in the following order,
1. Bentley Water V8i Ss2
2. MicroStation V8i Ss2
and re-install in the following order,
1. MicroStation V8i Ss3
2. Bentley Water V8i Ss2
Thanks,
Alfredo,
Thank your for your response.
Bentley has so many products, sometimes it just seems hard to find out what is happening with the product lines. And hard to find out what combinations work or what upgrade (and/or reinstall) sequence to use.
Again, thank you..
