I have two datasources. The first datasource is my original that I have configured with all the applications.  The second datasource is a new datasource and I want to copy\export the applications I created in the original datasource to my new datasource

Background

To perform this task you will need to be the administrator of both datasources, know the odbc connection user name and password, and be able to run a dos command

Steps to Accomplish

Step 1 Export the applications

1. In ProjectWise Administrator, right click the applications node and choose, export application
   configurations.

2. Savethe file as an *.xml

Step 2 Import the applications using the dmsconv tool

1. On the integration server, Open a command prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\Bin

2. Type dmsconv –d ODBCdatasourceName –u databaseUsername
   –p databasePassword –nomime –appfile (path and file name to xml you created)

3. Example:  C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\Bin>dmsconv -d
   test -u sa -p password -nomime -appfile c:\apps.xml

4. Note: This command will overwrite the applications that are currently configured in the
   datasource.  This command can be used to add applications as well. 

5. Important:  This command does not set the Icons.  Icons will need to be set manually
