Unable to see datasources on Windows 10
Product(s): | ProjectWise Administrator | ||
Version(s): | 08.11.11.590 | ||
Area: | ProjectWise Administrator | ||
Subarea: | Application Configurations | ||
Original Author: | Dana Guthrie, Bentley Technical Support Group |
Background
I am unable to see the datasources from my windows 10 workstation using ProjectWise Administrator SS4 08.11.11.590
Solution
ProjectWise Administrator and ProjectWise Explorer SS4 version(s) are not supported on Windows 10 operating system.
To be able to see the ProjectWise datasources on a SS4 08.11.11.590 server:
- Uninstall all ProjectWise SS4 software from the client machine (Explorer and Admin)
- Install the ProjectWise Connect Edition 10.00.01.67 version of both the Explorer and Admin.
- When you launch ProjectWise Admin connect edition and login to an older (SS4) datasource, you will be prompted with a message:
- "The server you are connecting to is running a different version of ProjectWise. ProjectWise Administrator only supports connections to the Matching version of ProjectWise Integration Server. If you proceed, full administrative capabilities may not be available." This just means that any new capabilities that may be in the connect edition will not work with older datasource.
- Click okay to the message.
Note: You cannot mix versions of ProjectWise on a single machine. In other words you can not have PWE SS4 installed with PW admin Connect edition. Explorer and Admin must be of the same version.

Utilizing Templates in ProjectWise Deliverables Management
Quite often PWDM users need to send packages to the same distribution list, or use a different default schedule and don't want to reenter the information each time. This process will show how to utilize drafts as a template to have the information pre populated.
note: this example is based on using the Portal, however the same process can be following when using the ProjectWise Deliverables Management Connector for ProjectWise Explorer
Create New Transmittal
Enter subject to clearly define the use of the template and any other information that might be used for most of the future transmittals (Purpose, Comments, Cover Letter)
Select the Recipients tab and Click “Add Recipients” Select the recipients that will be normally be receiving this type of package, and change the “Acknowledge” and “Response” settings per user as necessary
4. Click “Save Draft”
5. Any internal participant to the project will now be able to log in, and browse to the Drafts page, and use any of the created templates to initiate a New Transmittal
6. Clicking the “Use as a template” button will start a new transmittal with all the information saved in the draft (General, Recipients, Documents, Scheduling)
7. Change/add any details as needed and issue transmittal

Incorrect sizes generated when creating iCS for PDF renditions
Product(s): | Bentley i-model Composition Server | ||
Version(s): | 08.11.11.590 | ||
Environment: | N\A | ||
Area: | N/A | ||
Subarea: | N\A |
Problem Description
When I submit a PDF Rendition, the size of the pdf is incorrect. It does not correspond to the paper size set in the settings file being used in the Source File Presentation in PW Admin.
Steps to Resolve
- An invalid printer was set in the IP.CFG file on the iCS for PDF server. Setting the IP_DCS_RENDITION_PRINTER variable to the default settings of "ProjectWise Dynamic Composition Server" corrected the problem.
- IP.CFG is located in the following directory on the iCS for PDF server: C:\Program Files (x86)\ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer\config

Folder descriptions displaying instead of name?
Original Question: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Martin Aitken
I (and others) have folder description being displayed in the tree view instead of the names.
I have been told to untick the "Display Descriptions" box in the Setting tab but I do not have that option available. This is the view I have had since getting access to PW so I haven't changed anything myself.
Can someone advise please?
Thanks
Verified Answer: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Jeff Burrill
It appears that your account isn't granted the option to "Allow user to change settings" in the User Interface node (where the setting "Display descriptions" resides), which is why it does not appear in the node list. In fact, with the exception of Document List, it looks like your account is not permitted to make changes to any of the other settings nodes.
If you are an administrator you can make the change in ProjectWise Administrator. If not, you'll need to talk to your ProjectWise admin person to get the setting changed.
Question: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Martin AitkenThanks Jeff, I have contacted the administrator to see if they can do this for me
Question: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by JRODLook under your User options, settings tab, User Interface then look for "Display Descriptions" if it is checked you will see Descriptions instead of file or Project names.
