New Primavera 17.12.1 set-up with SQL 2014

Hi all,

I am installing Primavera PPM V17.12.1 with SQL 2014 Express database on our company server.

Q1: Is this a workable longterm solution. Will the Express SQL DB be able to handle a large program of projects over the long term? 

Q2: Any specific issues users have found in setting this up?

Q3: Bandwidth requirements?

Thank you for any relevant responses.

Morné

P6 || Duration changes post calendar change

S
Safwan H. 👤 Member for 10 years 11 months

Hi all,

 

Apologies if this has been posted - I did try and look for a similar example. I'm trying to understand why my durations are changing when I change from a normal 5d week calendar (8hrs per day) to a 5d week calendar with non-working days throughout (<5d week calendar).

No changes of hours for each day or changes to the activities themselves. To try and illustrate the issue;

1. Activity A - 5d - on a normal calendar (commencing Monday and completing Friday)

Hierarchical coding structure

I have set up a hierarchical project code so I can group geographically rather tahn use the cost driven WBS. However when I pull up the project code as a column I can't populate it.

When I select the blank field I expect to be abe to see the structure, as with the wbs but it is blank. All filters are off.

What am I doing wrong?

Resource Shifts

A
adab azeez 👤 Member for 9 years 11 months

Greetings to everyone.
I am creating a 24 hour Shutdown schedule.Now I Resources are being assigned. There are two working shiftsin this Shutdown first shift- 7Am to 7pm and second shift 7Pm to 7 am.
My question is Is it necessary to create two shifts for each resource, when the price per unit is same?

May be, I would be asked to put 12 manpower in day and 8 in night so how to assign resource in this case ? Can anyone guide please ? Regretfully I am not good when it comes to use resources in P6.
Thank you to everyone.

A "Late Finish" Calculated from Free Float?

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a form of a "Late Finish" that would be calculated as the latest date an activity can finish without affecting the start date of any of its successor activities? (i.e. Latest Finish where Free Float = 0)

I have fabrication and long lead activities that I do not want to drive any of my construction activities, and would like to give "drop dead" dates to our fabricators.

D
David Craig 👤 Member for 7 years 11 months

Hi Guys,

 

Have any of you had an issue with gantt charts not showing up on page layout and prints?

 

I can't see gantt charts on the page layout any more. Im not aware of any changes I have made that may have caused this change.

 

I have tried going to Page Setup - Options - Toggled the Gantt Chart button on then off but this doesnt seem to work either.

 

This is become very frustrating now.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

 

David
