Praveen, You must have access to a valid ProjectWise Oracle Connector client license to use that functionality from within Bentley Map.

Kirmo, This behavior is caused by the fact that the "Connect to Database" dialog was cancelled w/o providing RDBMS login credentials. Since you are connecting to your RDBMS using a db= keyin you should be able to add MS_GEOXFM_DISALLOW_INFERRED_DBCONNECTION…

Artur, In general we believe having the ability to perform Oracle Spatial data maintenance using the power and flexibility of the MicroStation platform provides Bentley Map with a number of advantages over other more strict GIS type products including…

Krister, Thank you for your input and we will take your recommedation for an improved message under consideration. Regarding the use of a configuration variable to change the short transaction behavior, unfortunately long transaction support is only…

Jiri, For you adhoc connection (e.g. without a schema) code, you will need to add the following highlighted lines to the connectAdhoc method: public void connectAdhoc(string userName, string password, string serviceName) { GDI.GDIExplorerOracleImportsNode…

...not familiar with that particular error, but at this time I would recommend the use of Visual Studio 2005 Edition when developing applications for the Bentley Map V8 i (SELECTseries 1) platform. Also when adding/replacing references to accomodate your…

...no, for Oracle Spatial (e.g. SDO_GEOMETRY) interoperability, the Bentley Map V8 XM Edition 08.09.04 release supports Oracle 9i and 10g databases. The Bentley Map V8i 08.11.05 release supports Oracle 9i, 10g and 11g database instances with the use of…

Krister, In the Bentley Geospatial Administrator, when registering your Oracle Spatial layers, if you do not assign a sequence generator to the layer you have effectively defined a "read only" layer (e.g. users can query geometries but cannot post…

Rob, I've not heard of that particular scenario, and you're correct, after the post operation the feature instances should be locked once again, preventing modification in the local design file cache. What version of Bentley Map are you using?

Jurek, The IN_DB parameter defines the connection information used to establish a MicroStation database server connection. There is no requirement that the same user exists in both Oracle and SQL Server, or have the same grants etc... Is…

Praveen, You must have the following minimum requirements... Oracle 10.2.0.3 or higher with version enabled tables. Access to a valid ProjectWise Connector for Oracle client license. ...to enable versioning and conflict resolution…

Jakob, A few questions. Do both views refer to the same base table? Is each view defined in such a way as to guarantee that all rows returned contain the same geometry type? For the AFL_BROEND feature class, what is the layer_gtype parameter…

Krister, I've posted a complete example here which includes a sample COM server written in C# which demonstrates one approach to calling the Bentley Map Interoperability managed API methods from VBA. The following sample VBA form should give you some…

Holger, At this time the ability to perform a DBMS_WM.RefreshWorkspace call from the Bentley Map Interoperability user interface is not supported, but is being considered for inclusion in a future release based upon overall customer demand. Could you…

Greetings Veeresh, Have you any custom code involved or are you only using standard Interoperability functionality? Could you provide the exception.log that was generated?

...will also add that Bentley Map supports the use of Oracle oriented points described here to persist the rotation of the feature instance.

Jiri, For the following compound geometry... SHAPE(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------…

Rob, Using the provided schema, I was able to perform the following: Open schema.xml in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator, modifying a few paths to accomodate my local Bentley Map installation. Exported workspace. Created new work…

Gerald, In Bentley Map today, there does not exist any user level type command that strips intelligence and linkages from an XFM native feature instance. There are however some ways to achieve this result using the Bentley Map API using C or C++ native…

Veeresh, First regarding the use of composite primary keys for annotation, you're correct that capability used to work. However when the ability to support arbitrary-depth features in Bentley Map was added for Oracle Spatial persistence, subfeatures…

Stefan, As mentioned, the Bentley Map V8 i (SELECTseries 2) 08.11.07 release provides the new Interoperability API services, documented in the ...\Bentley \Documentation\GeoDataInterchangeAPI.chm help file. The " gdi connect " keyin is also new to…
