ProjectWise Implementation

Upgrading to ProjectWise 2023

ProjectWise 2023 introduced changes to database schema for users, identities, and Workflow Rules Engine. In some cases data will have to be modified to support the new schema. All data modification will be reported as warnings in DMSCONV logs. The following changes may happen:

  1. Duplicate User Names are Renamed: In ProjectWise versions prior to 2023, it was allowed to have users with the same user name provided that they had different user login type. In ProjectWise 2023, all user names must be unique because users are separate from their authentication method. If there are two users with the same name, then DMSCONV will rename users by adding "u<user_no>_" at the beginning of the user name in order to make them unique.
  2. Incorrect WRE Rules are Deleted: ProjectWise 2023 requires Workflows and States used in WRE configuration to exist in the datasource. Any rules definitions referencing states or workflows that do not exist will be removed. Note that this removal should not affect end user functionality, because these rules cannot be invoked from an invalid configuration.

ProjectWise 2023 database installs a set of standard stored procedures to support ISO19650 configurations. These procedures may also be used for general attribute configuration tasks.
