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.

XER import error from P6 8.3 to P6 Professional R15.2 without error notification

Hello folks,

I have a really weird issue. While importing a XER file to Primavera P6 Professional R15.2 (the XER file obtained from an online P6 8.3 through a CITRIX RECEIVER platform) the import process starts with the loading and suddenly stops, with no error or exception window popping up.

I have no clue about the cause.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Regards,

Top

Hello Zoltan,

I already tried and also a colleague imported that same file successfuly so we ruled out that the file is corrupt.

Thanks
