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.

Hi there,
I will be giving another training session on PM5 in a few weeks, and I would like to prepare the whole EPS/OBS/... structure on my own PC before copy/paste-ing it on the trainees machines; I cannot use a network.
Is it possible to export the EPS/OBS structure from Project Management, do I have to MM instead, or copy/paste the MSDE database?
I cannot find anything satisfying in the pdf manuals shipped with the software.
Thanks to all
Alexandre

Unfortunately you cannot copy/paste, export/import EPS and OBS between the databases, or you cannot import them using methodology database.

For training purpose, I suggest you to prepare the database, then copy whole database to the trainers’ computers.

Hope this helps,

I move my database (PMDB) from laptop to desktop quite regularly. I use the backup and restore functions in Windows to do this. I found out about this when upgrading to latest pack so the explanation is given in the upgrade to SP4 I believe.

Fo training purposes this is ideal as you can copy your clean version to each user on your training course.
