Oracle Primavera - PM6

Primavera PM.exe issue

Posted Mon, 2023-01-30 03:01 by Alex Lyaschenko

After an attempt to import XER to Primavera, the system crashed and doesn’t work even after the computer restarted. Is it Release 22.12 problem (I have this version installed) or a common P6 issue? Is it the only option to fix it via reinstallation or there is a work around?

Metrics - DCMA, JCI, Tender, NEC - which most common, best for city, state general projects?

Posted Mon, 2023-01-30 00:57 by John Reeves

Just wondering, it is not like any are required.  I know nothing about them, except I would not want to have to have all green circles (acceptable) if I was making a schedule, decent reference but just that.

Difference in Progress - Stand alone and Server

Posted Tue, 2023-01-24 08:52 by Dennis Van Niekerk

Morning All,

We are currently experiencing a difference between the P6 Server and Stand alone reported Progress on both the Planned and Actaul percentages complete. We have checked that all the Admin Settings and Settings under user preferances are the same.

Has anybody experienced this issue before or know of a solution to get the progress aligned on both the server and stand alone. In terms of the dates we do not have any issues as the Overall and detail task start and finish dates are the same.

Activity Network Diagram

Hello Everyone,

 

Just a very quick question this time,.......Do any of you use the Activity Network Diagram function? I have looked at it many times and just do not understand what use or benefit it is.

 

When and Why would it be used?

 

Regards,

Negative Float

Posted Tue, 2023-01-17 19:48 by Abbas Rajabpour
Hi everyone We all know that having a negative float means there is a constraint and it affects the EV calculations of LOE activities. In our company there are two finisg milestones 1- plan completion date 2- contract completuon date At the begining of the project they are the same and we have a constraint on the second one to be fixed and showing the delays by those negative float. My boss says this is the best way to show the delays. Any thoughts and alternatives on that?

Importing into P6 using Microsoft Excel

Posted Tue, 2023-01-17 16:29 by John Reeves

I have been using P6 a long time but only import actuals and changes using MS Excel occassionally.  I have forgotten the "little things", - it is not importanting all of the data - what are the common mistakes? - Do I have to put a U somewhere or include some account code or something, possibly some things cannot be updated?  I do not know what I am forgetting.

P6 XML Import Technical Issue

Posted Tue, 2023-01-17 15:42 by Ross Coulman

Hi,

I have a P6 XML file generated from 3rd party software. The XML file imports into P6 v19 fine, which has an Oracle database.

 

Trying to import onto other instances of P6 fails e.g. V16.1, v22.1 even Oracle cloud.

 

I think there is an XML tag missing or maybe mandatory data missing. The thing in common seems to be when fail, uses SQL Server or SQLLite database.

Technique for Computing Estimate to Complete (ETC) not working

Posted Wed, 2023-01-11 21:46 by Steven Montgomery

Hello,

I am using Primavera P6 R22.12 but I had the same problem in P6 R19.12.

I am trying to compute ETC using a PF = 1/CPI, but P6 does not recognize my CPI.

My CPI for the project is 0.94, BAC $4,000 and EV $1,300. Using the techinque where PF = 1/CPI the ETC should be $2,700/0.94 computing to $2,872 but as displayed in the below screen shot P6 computes ETC = $2,700.

Any input?
