Setting up ProjectWise integration for Standalone

In Standalone, ProjectWise integration is enabled using an xml file. The default xml file is located at the following locations:

Before you may interact with ProjectWise from inside the WaterGEMS 2024 application, you must integrate it to workwith ProjectWise. This step varies depending on the platform under which youwish to integrate. Until you set up this ProjectWise integration the fileprompts in the application will not allow interaction with ProjectWisedatasources.

For the Standalone platform, you must edit theProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml file using a text editor. The file islocated in the All User documents directory(C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<ProductName>)

Find the line that sets the PWDIR variable:

PWDIR=""

and change it so that it refers to the directory where asupported version of the ProjectWise Explorer is installed, such as:

PWDIR="C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\"

For the MicroStation platform, you must enable the ProjectWise iDesktop integration for Microstation when installing the ProjectWise Explorer client software. You can also Change the ProjectWiseExplorer installation to enable this from the Windows Control Panel.

The ArcGIS platform will automatically detect an installed ProjectWise Explorer, but to interact with ProjectWise in ArcGIS you must usethe explicit ProjectWise menu commands.
