Resource Calendar

If I have an activity, and the calendar for that activity is on a 7 day work week calendar but there is a resource assigned to that activity that has a resource calendar that is 5 day work week, will that limit my activity to 5 days a week?

 

So if activity "A" used an excavator who's resource calendar is 5 days a week, does P3 assume you can only work on activty A 5 days a week?

 

Thanks in advance.

P3 API- Aplication programing interface

B
Ben Chow 👤 Member for 13 years 8 months

Hi all! Nice forum you all have here. To put in layman's term, can P3 be controled by a self written software via any API?? I heard of primavera integration API here

http://www.scribd.com/doc/973502/API-WhitePaper#outer_page_5

and here

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16281_01/Technical_Documentation/Integration…

 

But the links never say if it can be applied specifically to P3.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Displaying Duration In Phase Title Bar

On my project I have all the activities organized by phase.  Is there a way to automatically display the total duration of the phase in the title?  

 

For example, if I had a phase 1A, and all the activites in phase 1A would take 30 days to complete, it would display '30' days next to where it says phase 1A.

 

Thanks in advance.

Import-Export from P3 to P6 and Vice Versa

Hi Guys!

 

need your urgent help please!

I have my schedule prepared in P3. I prepared the detailed schedule in P6 by importing it. After completing the detailed schedule, I exported it back to P3 version.

As I open the P3 file of my detailed schedule, the logic/relationships is no longer working. Even if you change a relationship, it does not recalculate.

 

 

Please help me asap.

 

Thanks,

 

Ariel

I need advice plz in linking projects

 

 

Dear All valued members

Q. I have 14 small projects (similar in scope with small variation in details, scattered all over the country) which are planned in separate 14 programs but they came under one contract.

 For EOT purposes I am supposed to show all projects in one master program (Master baseline and then there will be Impacted Master baseline) to depict the EOT entitlement. can anyone suggest how to do that in Primavera v3/3.1.??
