Some common ProjectWise Explorer command line task
Open PWC with specific data source and single sign on (SSO) | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 |
Or, open PWC with specific data source and user credentials | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -u admin -p admin |
Then select a specific folder ID and show the folder properties | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -v 187 |
Or, select a specific folder name relative to the "Documents" root | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -u admin -p admin -vn RMH\PRT\ |
Then select a specific document name | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -u admin -p admin -vn RMH\PRT\ -in WS2.dgn |
Then check out that document | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -u admin -p admin -vn RMH\PRT\ -in WS2.dgn -c 30512 |
Or, check out that document without showing a splash screen | pwc -d TSG-PW8117133S.bentley.com:pw8117133 -u admin -p admin -vn RMH\PRT\ -in WS2.dgn -c 30512 -ns |

NOTES:
- Each command line executed will open a new ProjectWise Explorer session and process only each unique argument/switch once. E.g. Currently you cannot execute two commands (-c) for one given session of ProjectWise Explorer.
- If you do not provide your user name (-u) and password (-p), your Windows single sign on (SSO) credentials will be used.
- When specifying a folder name (-fn) you must include a trailing backslash in the folder name. e.g. RMH\PRT\
- Checking in a document may require additional comments to be provided. This feature can be disabled if needed by your ProjectWise administrator. There are a number of settings located in the ProjectWise administrator user settings for Audit Trail entries for comments.
- When specifying a full path (-fp) to a folder you should not provide a trailing backslash.
- When specifying a full path and document name (-fp) the document name will be selected (hilighted). When specifying a full path, command ids (-c) do not execute. TR#348889 has been filed to address this.
