ProjectWise Full Text Search leveraging Microsoft Search Service Express not working
We outgrew the limits of the Windows Index service with a datasource hitting 10 Million documents in early October, and we've lost the ability to use full text search since. Going on just under two months now without a critical feature.
I understand in some cases the Windows index service continues to work fine at this size; however, in our case, we tried restores along with a variety of other attempts to allow the index to rebuild but could not get it to come back online.
The alternative approach is to use the Microsoft Search Service Express (MSSE) a 2010 product that runs on Server 2008. Working with the support team, we have been able to get this product installed and have re-indexed our full catalog of 10 Million documents. Additionally we've confirmed from the logs and visually its indexing new documents but is still not properly tied to ProjectWise and we're waiting for assistance from development now. Full text returns 0 results currently.
ProjectWise development - do you follow these forums? I'm hoping you do, and I'm trying reaching out to you directly and publicly. Full text search is something I feel is a key component to ProjectWise and in our environment it is currently not working.
Please connect with the support team and help us bring this feature back online. Full text is dead in the water for us, and our two month anniversary of the loss of full text search for us will occur on Jan 11th (when we submitted the SR for it having failed).

CORS and WSG Configuration
In order to have a successful connection to ProjectWise Work Area connections.
Bentley Web Services Gateway (WSG) needs to be configured with CORS configuration.
First off what is CORS? CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. To make it simple it's when a.com
Is making a request to b.com to request resources such as image files, icons, etc…
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn532203.aspx
These are the steps to take to configure CORS:
- Navigate to the Site in which you deployed WSG
- Open web.config in notepad
- Look for the following AccessControlAllowOrigin and change the value to "*.bentley.com"
<!--Comma separated domains that are allowed to initiate cross-origin requests using CORS. You can specify fully qualified domain URL
(e.g. value="http://www.example.com"), subdomain (e.g. *.example.com) or empty value to deny any cross-origin access. "*" value can be used to
allow cross-origin access to all domains but it is not recommended due to security concerns -->
<add key="AccessControlAllowOrigin" value=""/>
*Please note "*" value can be used to allow cross-origin access to all domains but it is not recommended due to security concerns -->
For accessing ProjectWise Share work area connection add https://projectshareportal.bentley.com
<add key="AccessControlAllowOrigin" value="https://projectshareportal.bentley.com"/>
Version 2.6+ WSG Installation wizard allows configurable option for CORS in the Installer.

ProjectWise Share Licensing Model
When we invite an external party in as part of a share, I assume usage here consumes a passport? What is the licensing model here, that is, who is responsible for costs if the external does OR does not already have a Bentley account? Also, how will we see this usage reported in our usage reports? Thanks
Trouble getting started
I seem to be having trouble getting started with this feature. We are using a Bentley-hosted design integration server. I was able to set up the connected project and associate it with my work area. This gives me access to Share for that project. I am trying to add a connection to the work area, but when I add the URL of our hosted server it tells me that the URL is invalid. Is there something special that I need to ask Bentley to enable to get this to work? Does this only work with a certain server version? Any guidance that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
ProjectWise Share to Local Computer
I've heard that ProjectWise Share to the local drive is something that will be coming out soon, similar to other cloud storage services such as OneDrive, BOX or DropBox, and I was hoping I could beta this service as it would be extremely helpful in certain cases where applications don't have true integration with PW Explorer. If this is available for beta, can you send me instructions for setting it up? If it isnt available, is there a time table for when it will be available?
Thanks
Sharing from PW Datasource to local drive and back
After our initial review of migration from ProjectWise Sync Service to ProjectWise Share, we identified a critical need to be able to setup a share for content from within a PW datasource (connected project) to a local drive / local server, and vice versa from a local server into PW. Please can this be on the immediate roadmap?

9 - Exclusive Editing of Documents
Coming Soon
1 - Getting Started
Before you can access ProjectWise Share, you must first sign in and open your project. Once you are signed in, connect to a SharePoint Site Library to download or review the files in the library.
