Upgrading your OpenCities Map Project
The format of the MicroStation CONNECT Edition workspace has changed from the V8i Workspace. Bentley Geospatial Administrator takes these changes into account, therefore if you are working with a basic OpenCities Map project, no changes need to be made in your project workspaces.
To make your Bentley Map V8i project work with OpenCities Map CONNECT Edition:
- Open your schema file with Bentley Geospatial Administrator CONNECT Edition
- Export the project into the defined workspace
- Recreate any project start icons.
Upgrading OpenCities Map Applications
The OpenCities Map API has not changed so minimal changes need to be made to your geospatial applications that use the Map API. Regardless you will have to recompile your applications for OpenCities Map CONNECT Edition.
In addition, MicroStation has made many changes between the V8i and CONNECT editions. Below are a number of resources to help you move your applications to the CONNECT platform.
Keep in mind that Bentley Geospatial Administrator takes into account the new workset/workspace configuration changes so unless your application uses custom workspace settings then these should generally be left alone.
