Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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.

Can some one tell me that in which files:

1- The p6 stores its projects in SQL

2- the setup of P6 (layouts & filters)

are stored. I would like to keep a backup of these to enable be to restore them if P6 corrupts and has to be restored

Regards

Hi Sajid,

1. All projects has been stored in pmdb$primavera database engine. However, it depends on what database you are currently using. You will know this whenever you log in to Project Management Module, the default is PMDB Database.

2. Layouts & Filters, every project you had created has its own layouts & filters. You can find this in View --> Layout --> Open. From there, you are able to import/export the required layout and save it to your local drive or in other computer. Every layout has its own corresponding filter (if any).

If you want to backup your database, go to Start --> Programs --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> SQL Server Management Studio Express. Look for pmdb$primavera, if this your current database where you use to save your projects.


Regards,

Arnold
