Import Relationships

S
sam dsoza 👤 Member for 20 years

I want to import realtionships from a P6 file 1 (correct relationships) in to a different P6 file 2 (incorrect relationships).

Doing it manually is possible but highly time consuming as I may have to touch 700+ activities.

Importing relationship data from correct P6 file in to incorrect one should be POSSIBLE but I have not set up the import file in a while so not sure whats the best route.

Any pointers in this direction will be appreciated. If there is a post which has already addressed this then please point me over as I could not find a topic addressing my needs

Unable to copy P6 Schedule

R
Ron Liu 👤 Member for 9 years 4 months

Hello,

I have a schedule in P6 EPS that cannot be copied or make reflection. I can copy or make reflection of other schedules. I check all the settings of that particular schedule but they are the same as other schedules. Does anyone know why or experience it before?

My P6 version is 15.2.13.

Thank you.

Convert Microsoft Project to WORKING .xer File

Hello All,

I am trying to import a microsoft project file to Primavera P6 version 7.0.

I have done this in the following order:

1. open project file using asta and then save as an xer file (it opens fine is Asta with all logic and WBS correct)

2. import to P6 in the normal imort method for an xer file however the import loses some links and activities are no longer in their correct WBS. All the activities, links and WBS are present but the activities are no longer in the correct WBS, all are under one new WBS that the import seems to have created
