Introduction
Bentley Communication products are a comprehensive solution for designing,
documenting, and maintaining outside plant and inside building networks. They
accommodate all the requisite fiber, copper and coax architectures, including FTTx,
HFC, ADSL in a geospatial solution that provides for detailed engineering calculations
performed interactively during the design process. Bentley Communication products
include capabilities for land base development, strand mapping, and duct management
to complete the geospatial engineering solution.
Software Prerequisites
Server
Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server (Supports
32-bit versions of the above Operating Systems running on 64-bit processors)
Database: Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0), Oracle Database 10g
Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
Workstation
Operating Systems: Windows XP, Windows Vista (Supports 32-bit versions of
the above Operating Systems running on 64-bit processors)
Database: Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Client (11.1.0.6.0), Oracle Database
10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.3)
Bentley software: MicroStation V8i, Bentley Geospatial Server v8i (needed only
if using long transaction mode in Spatial persistence mode)
What’s new
Persistence modes
The Bentley Communications line of product can be run using a DGN
persistence mode or a Spatial persistence mode. The DGN persistence mode
works by saving all the graphical information in DGN files and non graphical
information in an Oracle database while the Spatial persistence mode saves the
graphical and non graphical information in Oracle Locator.
Bentley Map
Bentley Coax, Copper, Fiber and Inside Plant now include Bentley Map. This
Comprehensive GIS for Mapping and Infrastructure application provides
numerous functionalities such as spatial analysis, map generation, print
preparation, multiple map projection support, coordinate conversion and
interoperability with different data and drawing sources.
Bentley Coax, Copper, Fiber and Inside Plant concurrent usage
In Spatial persistence mode, a design session starts by creating a DGN file and
by extracting the type of feature needed for the desired area. From that point on,
placing the pole and strand on the map, routing fiber span, designing coaxial
network or connecting ports together with jumpers inside a hub or headend can
be executed seamlessly in the same session.
In DGN persistence mode, file extension can be applied to the DGN files created
to hold specific portion of the design graphical drawing as it was done in previous
version, but nothing prevents the user to create a DGN file and store fiber,
copper, strand and inside plant feature in the same file since all the different
module command are now available within the same working session.
MSLink ranges
File MSLink block ranges are no longer use. A block range per project is
required.
Features
Feature name is now used instead of Level to characterize communication
graphical element.
Annotations
Bentley Communications annotation feature are now intelligent and uses the
MicroStation text style capability to increase the functionality.
Mapping Tool
The existing mapping tool has been completely remodeled to use the XFM
placement method. The mapping functionalities are now easily customizable with
the Geospatial Administrator application provided with Bentley Map.
Custom Attributes
A revise custom attribute scheme has been added to the product to facilitate
adding user defined fields to specific features.
Single Sign_On
Bentley Communication product now offers the Single Sign-On option to connect
to Oracle using Microsoft user authentication and authorization.
Import/Export application
A revise Import/Export application has been included in the product to import and
export DGN XFM files to external users.

Validation tools
1. Start a Microstation V8.5 session.
2. From the MicroStation main menu, select Utilities > MDL Applications.
3. Browse to the datavld.ma under the
BentleyComm\ConversionUtilities\V85-ValidateTools folder and click
Open. The Data Validation tool bar displays.
13. If you have any copper files, open a copper map (.cop) and run the
same procedure.
1. Connect to the V8.5 Oracle user and determine the Max mslink value
used in the project.
Example: Select max(maxmslink) from mapindex;
If you have multiple dgn, fbr, dsn, cop, isp files you will want to merge your
files together by using either the MicroStation merge functionality or the
merge-LayerExtract macro. The merged file should be less than 100mb.
Note: All files should be correctly position and have a MicroStation
coordinate system assigned.
1. From the Microstation Manager dialog box, select File > Merge.
Any merged file larger than 100mb should use instead GWPC-merge-
LayerExtract macro. The following steps are used in GeoWeb Publisher but
can be applied on your merged files that are larger than 100mb. This macro
can be found under the BentleyComm\ConversionUtilities\Spatial\AsNeeded
folder
1. Connect to Oracle and create a new user to import the dump file
created earlier in it. This user will contain an exact replica of the
project being converted.
2. Create new folders to hold the validated and merged DGN files
created earlier.
3. Edit the following lines in the CommsDGN2SDO batch file located
under the BentleyComm\ \Convert2Spatial\Spatial folder
• SET SQL_DIR=F:\Bentley Comms XM\85toXM\SQL\ (SQL
folder location)
• SET dgn2sdo="C:\Program
Files\Bentley\GeospatialExtension\bin\dgn2sdo.exe"
(dgn2sdo command location)
• SET myinfiberdir=F:\CommsTown\FBR\*.fbr (Fiber files
location)
• SET myincoaxdir=F:\ CommsTown \DSN1\*.dsn (Coax files
location)
• SET myinstranddir=F:\ CommsTown \DGN\v1-1.dgn (Strand
files location)
• SET myinCopperdir=F:\ CommsTown \COP\*.cop (Copper
files location)
• SET myoutdir=F:\Bentley Comms XM\85toXM\data\ (Data
output folder)
4. Verify for each feature if the IN_LEVEL is set correctly. Specifically,
verify that the amplifier, amplifierblock, tap, tapendoflineblock and
terminatorendoflineblocks are on different levels.
5. Run the CommsDGN2SDO batch file with your Oracle user name and
password from a command prompt.
Usage: CommsDGN2SDO <user>/<password>@<connectstring>
6. Once the conversion is completed, connect to the Oracle user and
take note of the last sequence number used for numbering the
feature’s XFM_ID column. This number will be used later when
creating the sequence on the new Spatial database.
7. Open the Output folder and verify that every feature was created by
verifying that a .DAT file exist in every feature folder. A .DAT file
containing a single value with an mslink equal to 1 should be deleted.
1. Create a new Oracle user to be used for the Comms spatial. (see
Error! Reference source not found.).
2. Import the dump file with Oracle Imp of the original 8.5 database
under this user. Instructions for import are in the Oracle 10g user’s
guide.
One way of locating the extents is by opening the file under the folder
Convert2Spatial\Spatial\Data and locating the feature that
encompasses the entire project area. For example, if you know that
the fiberspan feature covers the largest extent of the project, open the
FiberSpan folder and locate the file
SpatialIndexCreate_FiberSpan.SQL3. There will be a file under each
feature folder that starts out with SpatialIndexCreate_. Open the file
with WordPad or Notepad. Locate the values.
Use the Replace all command from the Edit menu of WordPad or
Notepad and change all coordinate for each feature. There are
several places in the BentleyComm-Destination-
SpatialDataBase.SQL1A file where the coordinates will need to be
changed. In the above example the coordinates would change as
follows:
You will need to create cell using replacement texts to replace your existing
entered data field cells that were used in the 8.5 version of Bentley Comms.
10. Select Convert > Duct Resource and Convert > ISP Resource to
update the database tables.
Note: Running these steps may take a few minutes. A message
displays that the convert resource completed.
