To view files stored in a ProjectWise repository (also known as a datasource), you need to set up a connection to the repository.
NOTE: Before making a connection, make sure CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is configured on your Web Services Gateway server (WSG). Follow these instructions to learn more and configure CORS:
- From the Manage Connections page, click New Connection.
- In the Create New Connection dialog that opens, enter a name for your connection in the Connection Name field.
- From the Repository Type dropdown, select the type of repository to which you want to connect. Additional fields display in the Create New Connection dialog.
- In the Server Url field, type in the server URL provided by Bentley Web Services Gateway. Check with your IT administrator for this URL.
- Click Get Datasource to connect to the server and get a list of available repositories.
- From the Datasource dropdown, select the desired repository.
- Enter your Username and Password in the appropriate fields.
- From the Work Area dropdown, select the desired Work Area.
- If you wish, you can provide a Description.
- Click Connect and the connection is created and the name and description of the connection display in the Manage Connections list.
When you create a connection, the name of the connection displays in the left pane of the ProjectWise Web Connections. To view this, go back to the Work Area by selecting ProjectWise Web Connections at the top left. The ProjectWise Web Connections page displays. To open the repository to which you have connected, select the name of the connection in the left pane.
