Difficult to export only select predecessor and success data - only exports them all

Posted Mon, 2025-05-05 14:34 by John Reeves

Opinion or Assistance requested:  Is there a different way to import & export to excel FILTERED pred / successor import data than to give the pred and successor a unique logic note code, then the matching activity a unique activity code.  Otherwise the problem, or bug, or tricky issue is that ALL relationships are exported - relationships DO NOT follow the activity filter export.  This makes is very difficult to import in activities with multiple users because the relationship import might over-right changes on other, non-filtered activities by others or say older select

Update WBS code and name in bulk

Posted Wed, 2025-04-09 15:50 by Hamza BENOUFIR

Hi,

I need to build a new schedule and its structure is very similar to one already established. I copied the WBS from the old project to the new one, but I will need to perform lots of modifications, notably on WBS codes and names.

Is there a way to perform this modifications in a simple and faster way other than manually in P6?

I tried exporting the XER and modifying it through the notepad+excel but it didn't work (Maybe I missed something important)

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks,

Show Resource Critical Paths

Posted Wed, 2025-03-05 18:19 by Steven Montgomery

Hello,

I have a schedule with a non-critical but resource-overallocated path through tasks A-B; and a critical path through task C, which is not resource-loaded. When I level the schedule, the path, including tasks A-B, becomes critical, and the path through task C becomes non-critical. This demonstrates that the A-B path is a resource-critical path.

MPX Import Error

Posted Fri, 2025-02-21 16:14 by Phil Bedford

Hi,

Im attempting to import an MSP file in to P6.

I have exported as an xml (after checking for blank lines and summary tasks etc) but the file doesnt open in P6.

I have converted the mpp to mpx and then tried to import - however, I get the following error:

Shared mode

Posted Thu, 2025-01-16 16:57 by Nick Jackson

Hi

Got a stange one. I'm running standalone as follows:

About: Primavera P6 Professional 24
Release: 24.12.0.51267
Platform: x64
Database Schema Version: PPMDB,2412.0000.0000.0006

PPMDBSQLite.db

Every time I schedule the shared mode warning comes up. No one else uses the database (its standalone). I don't appear to have the 'access' option which lets me choose shared or exclusive use.

I logged out and even tried re-booting.

Anyone know how I can stop this message - its not fatal but very irritating.

Posted Thu, 2025-01-09 20:41 by Cynthia Stiffler

Hello;

I am starting to add budgeted labor units to my schedule.  The activities have a duration type of "Fixed Duration and Units/Time.

I set up my resource id's and assigned them to the activities.  When I go to add the budgeted labor units of say 100 , the budgetd labor units column says 80.  When I look at the detail I see the electrician has 100 budgeted labor units.

XER Tools

Any P6 user who has to send or receive XER files, should have the latest release of XER Tools. A superb and FREE utility. It is pinned to my taskbar. Find it on GITHUB.

Performance over VPN (P6 v23.12)

Posted Tue, 2024-10-08 14:13 by Marc Timberlake

Hi all,

We've recently upgraded our P6 install to v23.12, and have one lingering snag that myself and our IT dept can't solve. I'm hoping someone else here may have had similar and managed to resolve!

 

While in office, performance is spot on - we can schedule projects fine, and importing of XERs is pretty quick.
