During datasource creation, the Applications datasource node in ProjectWise Administrator is automatically populated with the applications defined in the delivered APPINFO.XML file. This file contains a general "Autodesk Revit" application, which is sufficient for organizations who are only using one version of Revit. If you are upgrading an existing datasource that has no Revit application in the datasource, and your organization is only using one version of Revit, then all you need to do is use the DMSCONV.EXE utility to import the APPINFO.XML file, which adds the general "Autodesk Revit" application.

If your organization is using more than one version of Revit, then you will need to add a one Revit application to the datasource for each version of Revit your users are using. To make this easy, ProjectWise Design Integration Server delivers a file called REVITVERSIONS.APPINFO.XML that contains an application definition for each Revit application and version supported in the current version of ProjectWise. You can import the contents of this file using the DMSCONV.EXE utility, either after creating or upgrading a datasource. You can either import the REVITVERSIONS.APPINFO.XML file as delivered and delete the unused applications later through ProjectWise Administrator, or you can edit the REVITVERSIONS.APPINFO.XML file as needed before importing it, to comment out or delete the application definitions you do not want to import.

Use one of the first two procedures below if you want to use the DMSCONV.EXE utility to import the necessary Revit applications defined in one of the delivered XML files, or use the last two procedures below if you want to manually add the necessary Revit applications using ProjectWise Administrator.
