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.

I haven’t read the full thread in detail, but the following caught my eye: " . . . he has to open 60 page to update all activities."

If "update" is really what is meant, then it is possible that there is a misunderstanding between "publishing" and other functionality that is designed to allow updating of data. So we may all be going off on a tangent. Primavera web publishing is for purpose of reporting only.

hi Tamer,

what you do is, ask your IT help desk to install you a local web server.

tell him to install you "IIS" on your local computer.
iis is a built in web server from win XP.

- then when you export the file, put it in the iis web folders. (your it help desk will know this).

- and test it out by opening up your Inter browser and type in your computer name.
(your it help desk should know this too).

this got nothing to do with p3e, just your normal windows web browser.

Install IIS (webserver)
on your local computer.

if you are not sure how, ask your IT help desk.

then export your report into this webserver.



- or get a pc and turn it on 24x7 and use that as a mini web server, export your p3e project html files into there.
(install IIS on this box as well of course).

give your engineer the pc name so they can access it.

--- if you got no idea what i just says above.

please let me know,
so i can explain more details.

When you publish the document there will be many files. You are asked to give a name to the document, let’s say you call it PROJECT. The system will generate a single HTML file called PROJECT and then many other PNG files called PROJECT_?_! where ? is a letter and ! is a number. In order to view the output you have to download all the files into a folder (I would suggest using a new one for this) and double click on the html file, which will open the whole document. I don’t think you can do it from Outlook directly, certainly you can’t from Exchange.

Alternatively you could use the Excel export/import facilities available with Primavera 5, which might be easier?

Tamer, do you mean you want to print the Gantt Chart for the whole project on one page to a PDF file so that you can send it via Outlook? If so, it sounds as though the problem you are experiencing is connected to the page setup. How big is the project, both duration and number of activities?

If what you are trying to do is zip up a Project Web Site and then open it, you have to double click on the html file called index to open the linked pages.

from pull down menu, select Tool -> Publish, a window prompt and it guide through the setting. Finish by click the button "Publish"
Finish the whole process, the web page will prompt.

Before send any information through OLK, ZIP the whole specified folder and send it.

In your first post, you mentioned that you can get the pictures and explorer. I assume you have no problem to create these files.

When creating these files, one of the step ask for the location of explorer, make it c: and finish the prompted steps.

Then in window explorer, you select the explorer file and folder with same name, ZIP into one file by right click. Send the ZIPPED file by outlook.

Dear Tamer,

There is relationship between Explorer and pictures. When you view the code of exploer, you will find the link.

When you copy the Explore and pictures in other location, the links will be updated auto (but not 100% work, subject to network setting)

That’s why I like to publish on to C: drive root directory, both backup and restore make it same location to avoid the auto update.

Alex’s suggest is an alternative and it function also.

Firstly, you have to check whether you have the myPrimavera license bundle with your P5

if you do - good news because myPrimavera is a every useful platform to share information.

Once the license issue resolve you should have the program assoicated with myPrimavera, tomcat and collabration server

Set up the myPrimavera server where link with your existing full client database.

Set up user access to myPrimavera

Issue them with the project components that you would like them to update, follow and manage

Set up some basic update timetable monthly. Then you can have a fully progressed schedule @ the end of the cycle.

It is a timely excises but for long run, it improve transparence, visibility, ownership of project plan... It is a great tools

BTW the user manual do have the step by step procedure to set up myPrimavera

HTH

use myPrimavera

That way the engineer not only can see the schedule but they can also update the progress.

Dear Mr. / mktse
Thank you for your replay
First I try your way but in vain
Look :-
I done in primavera enterprises and I done publish with this way
File --- print preview --- publish
All project divided to pages & each page will be in 1 photo
EX:- there are project 20 pages when I make publish it will be
( 20 photos + 1 explorer )
When I want to sent this project for filed engineer by Outlook it will be
20 photos + 1 file explorer
Note : ( has not primavera in his pc )
No problem in photo it is open with easy way but I have to open 20 photos one by one
Main problem in ( explorer file )
Explorer file appears all project ( appear 20 pages in 1 photo )
But I feel there are contact between this 20 photos and explorer file
That mean I should open photo to appear in explorer
Or
Could you please tell me steps in details
Waiting your sooner replay
Thank you

Publish the pages onto your own local harddisk root directory. Then ZIP the icon and all separate pages into one ZIP file and sent to others through outlook.

When he received the file and Unzip it onto his own local harddisk root directory, the display will same as yours.
