ProjectWise Level 3 Connector

With ProjectWise Level 3 connector, you can fully control documents using a Change Package system. The Reference Registration mode ensures that the file is always controlled by ProjectWise, even though the document changes are handled by the AssetWise Change Package system.

Note: It is assumed that the file names are unique within AssetWise and ProjectWise. It is your responsibility to ensure that all filenames are unique, otherwise duplicate instances of the filename will prevent files from being created.

The AssetWise ALIM ProjectWise Connector Level 3 connector provides full document control using the Change Package system.

The following file behaviors are specific to the Reference Registration mode:
  • Files that match the ProjectWiseNativeFileType andProjectWiseNativeDocumentCopies settings will integrate with ProjectWise
  • The physical file only resides in ProjectWise
  • The file does not need to be added to the AssetWise document prior to registering with ProjectWise
  • A file that is added to an AssetWise document after registration with ProjectWise, will automatically be moved over the ProjectWise document
  • The file can also be added to the ProjectWise document after it has been registered from AssetWise
  • Any additional files added to the AssetWise document after the first file will physically remain only in AssetWise.
Two document Topics are visible in ALIM Web:
  • Files: Includes the file stored in ProjectWise, via the AssetWise ALIM ProjectWise Connector
  • ProjectWise Locations: The hyperlink to the ProjectWise file location.
Note: Files registered with ProjectWise always reside in ProjectWise.
Important: Reference files are not supported when opening files from within AssetWise. If your file has reference files associated with it, you must open the file in ProjectWise.
