Hello Niek and Dieter,



Thanks to you. I should get new projects from MSP soon. I will take care my collegue prepares the import correctly (quality of the original plannings), as we are both aware of this pb now.



Have a nice day / Grüss aus Frankreich.

Thanks Niek

When I upgraded to P5 it was SP2, so I wasn’t aware of this bug - good luck!

Bonjour Patricia,



This is a known bug which is fixed in V5 SP3, but that doesn’t solve the problem for pre-SP2 imports.



The way I solved this in the past was to create a new project and move the branches (imported from MSP) underneath the new top node.



The next step is change the EV setting in the top node and have all children inherit this setting. After that the behavior should be OK.



Hope this helps,



Niek.

So you need the support of your IT. The information which troubles you is in the table "PROJWBS". IT may check if this table has some errors. Oracle should be able to repair it.

To import MSP is not that easy. Because most of the MSP-projects have errors created by not well-trained users, I always check them to correct before the import in MSP. As MSP doesn’t know codes (just the WBS), user-defined are used instead. This I check as well. With Primavera import options you can import those UDF into appropriate Primavera-UDF.



Kind regards from Germany et bonne journée.

Hallo Dieter,



I ran "Check project integrety" yesterday on one project that has the pb. The result didn’t give me any information on this topic. GGgggrrrr !

And regarding the second part of your question : as I do not import files from MSP myself, I ignore the process. I think it’s Oracle, but not sure.



Have a nice day.

I just checked for my projects - ok. As far as I know, these values are taken from the default project. Did you check it? Maybe you’ll run "check project integrity".

Was it MS SQL-Server or Oracle?

Good luck!
