The usage notes in ProjectWiseWSGConnector states:

  • The FeatureReader can access ProjectWise directly (without using the ProjectWiseWSGConnector), however, a local copy of the dataset will not be created.

 

But how is this done?

 

Thanks in advance.

Here's how:

imageNotice that the "Format" setting in the FeatureReader refers to the format of the file you're reading out of ProjectWise.

Thank you David, I really dont know how I missed that one.

Is it possible to use a wildcard when reading from ProjectWise?

If you need to list the contents in a ProjectWise folder, you could try with a FeatureReader using the Directory and File Pathnames reader:

At some point I suspect it might be better to simply use the ProjectWiseWSGConnector, however.

Thank you, I'll try it.
