Promis.e Configuration Files
Overview
The information below provides an overview of the specific configuration files that are used to configure the software. It explains the configuration hierarchy and identifies the location of key configuration files and what application configuration variables are set within those files.
Configuration Hierarchy
Configuration Files
After a default installation of the software, Promis.e deploys a workspace entitled, "Promis.e ANSI-IEEE Example" and "Promis.e IEC Example." The Promis.e Configuration Variables are defined in configuration files named, "Promis.e.cfg" which are located at the Workspace and WorkSet levels of the configuration hierarchy.
WorkSpace Configuration File
The application Workspace configuration file is found here:
...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Promise ANSI-IEEE Example\Standards\Promise\Promise.cfg
...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Promise IEC Example\Standards\Promise\Promise.cfg

For details on the purpose of each of these variables please refer to the Configuration Variables topic.
WorkSet Configuration File
The application WorkSet configuration file is found here:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<product_name><product_version>\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Promise ANSI-IEEE Example.cfg
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<product_name><product_version>\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Promise ANSI-IEEE Example.cfg
The default WorkSet configuration files provided with the software do not set any Promis.e specific variables since they are set at the WorkSpace level.
To override any configuration settings at the WorkSpace level, you may specify Promis.e configuration variables in this file and set the desired values for them. Refer to the Configuration Variables topic for a list of variables.
