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.

Hi Sinan,

First, delete those errors then go back to log in. Put your USERNAME and PASSWORD then click the arrow down button of PRIMAVERA SDK then thats the time to UPDATE PROJECT LIST then Select Project button.

If this will not be successful, remove your SDK to ODBC and you have two options either Add again and check if it will go through or install otherwise.

Cheers,
JEFF

Dear Jeff,

I would like to inform you that my problem has been solved, the problem was that when I tried to configure SDK I was using "pmsdk$primavera" and I should use "pmdb$primavera"

Thank you Rodel for your solution
and thank you Jeff for trying to help me in this regard

Hi Sinan,

I don’t have the answer either why SDK is not configurable wherein all the steps and parameters were followed correctly. As I told you, the only solution i got before was when i formatted my PC. I think there’s a file causing this error that needed to be corrected. Perhaps some of our members here has the right solution not formatting a PC. But for others, the solution from other forums that i gave you, worked correctly.

Cheers,
JEFF

Dear Rodel,

Sinan,
What database are you using? Oracle or SQL? the configuration is different from 2 database. Can you also check on ODBC if Primavera SDK is installed? (Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Data Sources (ODBC)-> Double click and under System DSN you should found Primavera SDK Primavera Software Development Kit as shown below:
P6 SDK
When you double click it will show as below:
P6 SDK ODBC
If you be able to see those then SDK was installed correctly and should be able to configure SDK database.

Best Regards,
Rodel

Hi Sinan,

First you have to go to your control panel=>Administrative Tools=>Data Sources(ODBC)....Click ODBC then click the TAb System DSN=>Add...then look for Software Development Kit...click it then Finish.

Your SDK will be shown then Configure it....put ODBC Name Primavera SDK..then OK.

Sinan,
The cause of error while installing P6 client is the original source installed to you machine is from C: drive as mention on installation error. To fixed this un-install P6 client and reinstall using P6CD1 or copy P6 CD1 to C: Drive (C:\Primavera P6.1\ directory) or alternatively ask your IT and he might do something when they install Primavera on your PC. (I suspect that P6 was installed remotely and your IT copy P6 CD1 to your c: drive first and installed).

Hi Duy,


I sent you already the Excel files you requested to start your SDK exercise. Under the Zip File you will find;

1. Activity
2. Dictionary
3. WBS

I hope you can start your SDK exercise soon. Just follow the very simple exercise and apply it to your future program/schedule. Enjoy!

Hi Sinan,

As what you have said, "Unable to locate file C:\Primavera P6.1\Primavera 6.1.msi", it means that your file in that folder is missing. Secure another copy and try to re-install again.

Tell me if you installed already and I will send you the Excel Files for SDK.

Hi Sinan,

when you run SETUP...choose modify then you will find the option for SDK...choose SDK only and follow instructions to complete your installation.

perhaps your file is moved to other directory or otherwise it was corrupted. Check exactly the location of your installation files.

JEFF

Dear Jeff,

I inserted CD-1 to installed SDK but unfortunately I got this message:

"Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk.
Please check that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path.
Unable to locate file C:\Primavera P6.1\Primavera 6.1.msi."

Can you explain to we what does it mean?
