Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

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.

Hello,

I have for the last 2 days tried to import some files with the batch utility found under the P3 CD.

I have read all of the manuals I could find. and looked at the examples but still cant get this thing to work.

this works.

PROJ L3V4 GENERATE GOKSU
GENERATE ALL L3V4 INTO D:\P3\Batch\BACH.OUT
PROJ L3V4 END

but this does not.

PROJ L3V4 TITLE DATA GOKSU

WBST 1 CONTRACT 1
WBST 11 CONSTRUCTION & COMMISSIONING
WBST 1101 CONSTRUCTION (UTILITY) PHASE-I
WBST 110101 PHASE-I UTILITY (UTIL)
WBST 11010101 CIVIL
WBST 1101010101 Civil Work for PR
WBST 1101010102 Civil Work for Equipment Foundation
WBST 1101010103 Civil Work for Building & Shelters
WBST 1101010104 Civil Works for U/G Pipes
RETURN
PROJ L3V4 END

Why?
I am trying to update the WBS dictionary.
I dont get any errors in the gen.out or P3.out files.

similarly this does not work too.

PROJ L3V4 UPDATE GOKSU

ACTVAONC1K0720 Utlt:Complete Civil Works 40
ACTVAONC1L0230 Utlt:Complete Steel Structure Work 40
ACTVAONC1M0090 Utlt:Access for Elect Space Pit(PSS-400/FAR3) 40

PROJ L3V4 END

why????

I am going nuts.

The best way to learn and use P3 batch program is using the p3input file stored under p3out directory.For example if you want to add wbs or activties do the function or operation on a project and you would see p3input file generating a file with this functions.use it and edit with your real input data and run prmbatch program.It should work.

thanks,

Rajeev

I appreciate your frustration, it took me quite some time to master Batch.

Every line has to have exactly the correct number of spaces etc, but it does work. I usually export a sample and then import.

I do find the spreadsheet from Primavera easier to use and very quick, it is found under Solution ID: 200252492644.

I guess you are going to send me the activity.xls files.
I have that file already thank you.

I would like to use the batch program to input large quantities of data as I think it is faster.

I dont know about Ra.

I also guess disabling the visual update of the activity.xls macros while running will considerably speed up the code.

still, Batch does not work!

What am I missing? what is wrong in the files in the first post of this thread?

why would a batch file import not work? another obscure P3 quirck?

graaaaa. help! its flustrating and starting to eat a great deal of my time.
