using P6.7, the issue is this; We keep project level coding discipline because we are too big a team working on too many diverse projects to all be using global codes. Plus the bulk of our coding comes out of a prep system that overlaps its coding between projects. This works up to the point that we want to copy a project off somewhere for another use eg;
Work in a reflection
Move a project to the archive DB
create a back-up
Copy a "standard" project framework for a new job
then all project level view / filter / report reference information is lost. I am aware that this is happening because each code has a unique reference (I can see it in the SDK dumps) but for some reason P6 is not updating its internal references (ie project activity codes in project level filters and views) to maintain the crosslinks. I have considered switching to EPS level but this will not completely solve my problem and EPS is not suitable for everything (some of my codes *must* be unique to the project)
I can imagine a workround search/replace the codes in exported .plf files but oh my what a pita. maybe there is an app for that?
I can also imagine that this may have been fixed in later versions of P6 (anyone?)
some other idea that I am missing?
many thanks
