BL1 not showing correct dates - sorted Now

Morning all, 

I've recently had installed a newer (17.3) version of P6.  I've got a copy of a submission from last month which I'm comparing to a submission this week.  However for some reason the dates aren't coming through correctly.

I've assigned the old one as BL1 and as there is no change in a LOE activity date I'd expect it to show the same but for some reason it's showing a date a year out.   Other dates are out too and I cannot understand why it's not all as some are fine.

Any advice folks?

Thanks

Date Range filter - Not showing full 13d

Hello Again!

 

I have another P6 question......We have set up a filter for 2 week look ahead and it works.  However, instead of using the high value of DD+2W, we changed it to DD +13d (due to projects having different data dates).  The problem is, we are not getting all the activities - example, if our filter for 13 days went to Oct 1 from the data date, we are only getting up to Sep 29.  My question is - does P6 calculate differently when using weeks instead of days?

 

Thanks!

H.

SS+Lag plus FF+Lag

I think we cannot have an activity with 2 relationships with the same successor activity(we need to decide the best logic) but my supervisor says we can have both SS+lag and FF+lag for one successor ! How can it be possible? it should be either SS+lag or FF+lag with the same successor. Do you agree or I'm wrong?

SQlite DB Any Way to Extract Projects?

I am in version 15.2 using a SQLlite DB and I keep getting the error code:

Exception EAccessViolation in module PM.exe at 0000000001E1C9A1.

TCVirtualTable.RefreshAppend: TASKACTV: Access violation at address 

00000000221C9A1 in module 'PM.eve' Read of address 

000000000000000.

I have searched everywhere to solve this error and cannot find a solution.  If anyone has answers or a way to get my projects out of the DB file, it would be appreciated.

Monthly Duration Not Giving Fixed Monthly Hours

T
troon sigma 👤 Member for 6 years 2 months

Hi guys,

I have the following settings:

1. In Calendar, monthly hours are 150

2. Duration Format (in User Preferences) is set to Months.

Now, when i enter activity duration to 1 month,  I see 150 monthly hours, which is fine.  But when i put 2 months duration, i get 166 hours in first month and 134 and second month. (although the total is 300, which is fine)

Similarly, if i put 3 month or 4 month duration, i am not getting fixed 150 hours for each month.

P6 Breaks Page while Printing to pdf

R
Richard A 👤 Member for 11 years 11 months

I am currently working on a project that turns out to be around 800 pages when 'optimize height by row content' option is checked.

I have to do this because the Client wants to see all activities, start dates, finish dates,original durations, free float, total float, successors and predecessors.

Any better logic report reports other than what is in P6?

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month

Any better logic report reports other than what is in P6?  I have used this software for a long time, it seems odd the report writer is so antiquated and that there is not a default report that can be filtered on a code that simply lists the pred and succ activity name etc.  Yes, it can be made - but how is there not a default one for 11 x 17 paper which is about the best way to keep it readable.  Are there any 3rd party tools for this?

WBS Summary Activites Moving with Data Date

N
Nathan Siva 👤 Member for 12 years 1 month

Hi Experts,

 

I'm Facing an issue, In my schedule, even though some of the WBS summary activities are already started, they are moving with the data date of the schedule.

Every time when I'm changing the data date, WBS summary activites moving forward with the data dates and then I have to revise back to previous dates of WBS Summary.

Kindly advise.
