    Configuration Variables - Bentley Substation v10.03+

    Product(s): Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition
    Version(s): 10.03+
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Installation_Configuration
    Subarea: N/A

    In the CONNECT Edition, the software utilizes the native Power Platform configuration system to locate the dataset, connect to the project database, and specify various default settings.

    Note: Power Platform is the MicroStation core application that underlies the CONNECT Edition product.

    New configuration variables have been introduced that can be set in any configuration file to configure the software. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive list of the application specific variables that are used to configure the software and explain their purpose.

    Bentley Substation Configuration Variables

    Application variables are prefixed with “ELEC_” to set them apart from the standard Power Platform variables.

    The following table provides a complete list of the application specific variables and defines what if any dialog boxes within the software can set their values:
