ConstructSim Work Package Server Setup Guide

To Configure the Bookmark Publishing Engine CONFIG File

Before beginning this procedure, you need to complete a successful End-to-End Data Run on ConstructSim Executive.

Note: If there are multiple projects, it is necessary to perform the VCM download for all projects. Also, this VCM download is required if a new project is added.
  1. On the Data Processing machine, create an eB user account that does NOT have Bentley Authentication (IMS).
  2. Still on the Data Processing machine, go to Start > Bentley > ConstructSim Planner CONNECT Edition > Administrative Tools > Manage Local VCM and select Create new local VCM.
    The Create Local VCM dialog opens.
  3. In the dialog, complete these steps:
    1. In the Project configuration file field, browse for the project .xml file (usually, C:\ConstructSimData\Projects\<your project name> folder).
    2. In the VCM settings section, in the Name field, enter the name of the Local VCM and select the local SQL Server from the SQL Server drop-down.
    3. In the Project login section, enter the eB login credentials for the user and turn on Remember password.
    4. Click Create to create a local VCM.
  4. Create a folder for bookmark publishing and move to this folder the Local VCM you created in the previous step.
  5. On the Data Processing machine, navigate to C:\Program Files\Bentley\eB\Server\Engines.
  6. In the eB.Engine.WorkPackagePublish.dll.config file, find the two lines:

    <add key="VcmFolder" value="C:\BookmarksPublishing" />

    <add key="CfgFolder" value="C:\ConstructSimData\Projects" />

  7. Edit these two lines by making these changes:

    The value for VcmFolder should be the path where the Local VCM is moved.

    The value for CfgFolder should be the path where your Projects folder is located.

  8. Restart the eB Service Manager.
