Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

the information in link is correct they way that you have it but there is an exception.

In P6 15.2.3, Primavera has added a checksum to the XER and XML files to “identify whether the XML/XER has been modified externally”. So if you change it the check sum feature makes the file unusable. 

However, in P6 15.2.5, they have removed the checksum because it created more issues than it resolved
