Administration and Usability
• Granular administration
• Group/User list management
• Simplified access control interface in preview pane
• Audit trail improvements
• Available storage area disk-space dialog
• New datasource statistics
• Removal of BRG file
• Classless inter-domain routing
• PDF file property indexing
High Latency Performance Optimizations
• Optimize a number of ProjectWise operations when used in a high latency environment– Typically reduces the number of request/response roundtrips between ProjectWise Explorer and Integration Server
• Enhanced operations include:– Document list display and folder navigation in ProjectWise Explorer and integrated dialogs in applications
– Login
– MicroStation file open
– MicroStation reference file attachment
– Titleblock update operations
High Latency Performance Examples

File Transfer Connection Sharing
• Reduce overhead when transferring lots of files
• Main benefit will be actions like managed workspaces with lots of workspaces with lots of smaller files
• 60%+ performance improvements possible
File Transfer Connection Sharing
• Time to launch MicroStation with managed workspace enabled– MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 2)
– Managed workspace with 14 CSBs and 1100 files totaling about 118 Mb
– Local network(no latency)

“Install Over” Installation Capability
• Allow 1-step upgrade of previous V8i releases
• Supports ProjectWise Explorer, Administrator, Caching Server and Gateway Service
• Avoids un-install/re-install
• Works between SELECTseries releases, but not • Works between SELECTseries releases, but not between major releases
• PW Explorer still supports side-by-side installation for major releases
• Supports automated install mechanisms (SMS, msiexec scripts, etc)
