Lets the administrator configure a ProjectWise
datasource to integrate with
OpenUtilities Substation
.
Accessed from the Backstage:
- File >
Settings > Configuration > ProjectWise Configuration
This is an administrator function and is only required
when connecting to a new datasource. Once the datasource has been configured,
the button is disabled for the standard user.
Note: You must be logged
into the datasource for the
Configure button to become enabled.
Note: The
Substation_Env.aam and
Substation_ClassSchema.xml
are two files in the ProjectWise folder that contain the ProjectWise
environment and class schema settings that are configured with ProjectWise when
the administrator clicks the
Configure button. The administrator could
customize these files either by modifying these them prior to using the
Configure button or using the
ProjectWise Administrator tool.
When the administrator initially creates the datasource in
ProjectWise, the following Project Permissions
must be enabled to allow the user to integrate
OpenUtilities Substation
projects with the
ProjectWise environment.
- Allow user to change
project permissions
- Allow user to create
projects and to upgrade folders to projects
- Allow user to change
project types and project properties
- Allow user to delete
projects
- For the project
administrator to be able to configure the datasource, he must have a version of
ProjectWise Administrator installed on his
machine with full administrative rights.
When you select the
Configure button, the following dialog appears:
Here, the Administrator of the
ProjectWise datasource must log in.
There are two types of Authentication options which are
available from the drop down:
After the administrator logs in, the toggles in the
Configure section of the dialog will become enabled if the item is able to be
configured. If the toggle does not become enabled, then the item is already
configured in the datasource and does not need to be configured again.

ProjectWise Explorer with any of these
attributes.

Configure Component Indexing

This will configure component indexing in the
datasource, if possible. Here are the requirements:
- The
OpenUtilities Substation
project database and
ProjectWise datasource database must both
be the same type of database, either Oracle or SQL Server.
- Both databases must
be hosted by the same database server.
- The user account
that
ProjectWise uses to log into its database
must be granted read access to the
OpenUtilities Substation
database tables, otherwise it will not be able to read
Substation data.
