Workspace data does not load up

Original Author: | Bentley Technical Support Group | ||
Problem
Workspace data does not load up. When starting MicroStation without ProjectWise, MSTN starts correctly. When starting from within PW Explorer, MicroStation fails to use proper Workspace.
Solution
The problem seems to be, that PW was not able to get the PROJECTDATA path correctly, as it was defined with the normal slash in the user UCF file:
P:\workspace\project\
When we have changed the sign to backslash at the begining:
P:\workspace\project/
it started to work fine.

Steps to Accomplish
- On the ProjectWise Integration Server, browse to the PW installation directory
c:\program files (x86)\bentley\projectwise\bin (Pre-SS4 versions)
c:\program files\bentley\projectwise\bin (SS4 + higher)

Changing the Projectwise Administrator Password. What services or functions should we check that may use this account?
Question: We are planning to change the ProjectWise administrator password and want to know what services or functions should we check that may use this account. Do we need to reset the password under each of these services \ functions?
Answer: Anywhere you used the admin user account will need to have the password re-entered.
Here is a list of places that you may have used the account.
In pwadmin, User Synch service (Windows Security system), and any of the document processors (Full Text, Thumbnail, File Properties)
If you are using the web and configured single sign-on and used the admin as the delegate user, you will need to re-enter the password in that configuration gui.
If you are using Distribution \ ICS \ DCS and have jobs setup and you used the admin account as the delegate user then you will need to change the password in the OF Admin, under the Bentley ICS\DCS for PDF browser, configuration, "ProjectWise user credentials."

Problem
Last Error [50000] error loading Map definition file. Fetching Map Definition file from server failed.
User is getting above error when logging into Projectwise explorer. Once logged in the user can only see the top level folder "Documents" and nothing underneath
Solution
Users was not part of the group that could read any of the folders\files in Projectwise. Once his permissions where corrected, he could log in without the error and see the proper folders and files. User has to be able to at least read the folders and files from the
location where the Maps are defined. (You will need acces to the ProjectWise Administrator to determine where Maps are defined)
butil.dll is not designed to run windows, ustation.exe - Bad image..butil.dll
Applies To | |||
Product(s): | ProjectWise Explorer Client | ||
Version(s): | 08.11.11.111 | ||
Environment: | Windows 7 64 bit | ||
Area: | Integration - MicroStation | ||
Subarea: | N\A | ||
Original Author: | Dana Guthrie, Bentley Technical Support Group | ||
Problem
When Launching Microstation XM or SS2 on a Windows 7 box with Projectwise integration installed user gets the following errors:
DDE Server Window: ustation.exe - Bad image... butil.dll
C:\windows\system32\butil.dll is either not designed to run windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
User clicks okay and then gets an mcm.dll can not load error message....
Solution
User had uninstalled everything, cleaned directories and reinstalled
Had user copy the butil.dll file from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\bin directory to the c:\windows\system32 directory.
Also copied the butil.dll file from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\bin directory to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory, and that seemed to solve both errors.
This makes sense since XM and SS2 are still 32 bit applications.
