    How to Configuration of Workspace on Network Location

    Product(s): Promis.e CONNECT
    Version(s): 10.03.XX.XX
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Installation & Configuration
    Subarea: N/A

    Background

    During Project activities user may need to locate their WorkSpace on network location to allow multiple user to access same workspace from different location. Below are the steps to Configure Network WorkSpace for Promis.e CONNECT.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. On the local machine browse to the location “C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Promise CONNECT Edition\Configuration” and open the file WorkSpace.cfg in notepad.

    Note: Make sure that Promis.e is not running while making the below steps changes.


    2. Next modify MY_WORKSPACE_LOCATION value from existing “C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Promise CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\” to the location on network server the WorkSpace needs to be copied or created according to the requirement \\Server\Folder\WorkSpace\ e.g. \\ServerMachine\PromiseCONNECT\Configuration\WorkSpaces\.

    Note: Make a backup copy of the CFG file in case required to revert back to default settings

    3. Next remove the “#” for the lines under the line MY_WORKSPACE_LOCATION, as seen in the below image.

     

    4. Next Launch Substation and click on any Error Message that you receive, then click on Create WorkSpace and specify the name for the WorkSpace that needs to be created and check if the Folder Location is being displayed for network location and then click Ok.



     
     

    5.Close Promise and then browse to the network WorkSpace folder and open the WorkSpace.cfg file e.g.BentleySystems.cfg and paste the below details.
    Note: This step needs to be skipped if the Network Location being used is a Mapped Network Location.

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------

    _USTN_WORKSPACENAME = BentleySystems

    %if exists

    ($(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)$(_USTN_APPLICATION)/$(_USTN_APPLICATION).cfg)

    %include

    $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)$(_USTN_APPLICATION)/$(_USTN_APPLICATION).cfg level

    Workspace

    %endif

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------


    6. Next copy the Promise folder from the local machine from below location “ C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Promise CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Promise ANSI-IEEE Example\Standards “ to the network WorkSpace’s Standards folder e.g. \\ServerMachine\PromiseCONNECT\BentleySystems\Standards\.


    7. Launch Promis.e and then select the new create WorkSpace and then select Create WorkSet. And specify the name for the WorkSet.


    8. Next Click on New File to create DGN in the WorkSet and specify the DGN file name and select Save.
