Supported Persistence Modes
- DGNP (relational database)
- Spatial short transaction - temporary workspaces created by Bentley Map for each session, all modifications posted to the live workspace at the end of the session or the data is lost
- Spatial long transaction - workspaces created by Bentley Expert Designer for Communications can be stored for prolonged periods of time until they are merged to the live workspace at the end of the project
