Migrating files from one laptop to another

T
Terry White 👤 Member for 22 years 4 months

Hi all

I'm liking the Oracle support who got me up and running with my old P3.1 software on my new laptop with no fuss whatsoever..

Is anyone able to explain how I can migrate my old files across please ? I've had a look at the files themselves and they seem to be fragmented into all sorts of different sub-files and so on. Is it as easy as copying a directory across ?

Primavera Contractor

T
TONY SEWELL 👤 Member for 15 years 9 months

I am using Primavaera Contractor and have a query.

 

When I add a baseline to the programme the Links change from previously showing links between actual activities (before baseline added) to showing only links between baseline items.

 

Is there a simple solution to this, as i want to show links between actual activities and with the baseline of the previous programme?

 

Thanks

 

Tony

A resources question

T
Terry White 👤 Member for 22 years 4 months

Is it possible within P3 to create an activity which uses x amount of resources to complete ?

In my industry of furniture building... 1 desk takes a fitter 15 minutes to complete. What I want to do is have an activity where P3 uses this information to calculate how much resource time is required to complete 100 desks within a set period of time.

For example, if I have to complete within 2 days using fitters who work a maximum of 8 hours a day, the answer would be 1.56 fitters, i.e. 2 per day after rounding up.
