Creating a PWDI Work Area Connection
|
After creating a Design project in Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, the user is presented with a toolbar to interact with several features. At the bottom of the toolbar is the Administration section. Selecting this opens a secondary panel with further options. Select "Document settings" to continue. |
The Document settings panel shows the existing document connections and their options for the project. By default, the ProjectWise web "Documents" connection is shown as Primary.
|
To create another connection to an existing PWDI Work Area, click on the "New connection" button. Give your new connection a name and copy/paste the URL of the target instance's Web Service Gateway (WSG). Then click on the "Get datasource" button. | |
| From the Datasource drop-down list, select the PWDI instance you wish to connect to. Then check "Use Bentley IMS authentication", select a Work Area from the resulting drop-down list and optionally type a description. |
The remaining options are for use with PW Drive, and the PW user sync service. Information on these options and how to use them can be found here; PW Drive and here; PW User Sync
Click the "Connect" button when finished.
This connection will now show up when selecting source files for iModel population & synchronization.
