You are a great resource.

Thanks & Regards,

Arnold;
I second the endorsement from Jose. Could I trouble you for the link to the WBS file? I tried replacing Activity6x with WBS (uc & lc) to no avail.
Pat yourself on the back. You are great resource even though you work in the dirt - hydrocarbons are ever so much cleaner and healthier.
You are welcome Jose.
Hey Arnold,
Thank you for your help. I Am glad Planning Planet has members like you, willing to help. Thank you again, and have a great day....

Hello Arnold Puy,

Arnold;
Any idea where I find it? Looked in POINT and only reference was to the file on the 6.1 CD. Looked at the P6.7 download files and nothing jumped out. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
Any insights into Project.xls and WBS.xls? First time I have heard of them. Activity6x.xls could have real value.
Hi Dennis,
The formerly "PMSDK" in P6x is now "Primavera P6 SDK" in P6 v7.
With regards to the following utilities:
1. Activity6x.xls
2. Dictionary6x.xls
3. PROJECT.xls
4. WBS.xls
You can still use these the same as the previous version.
Regards,
Arnold
Has anyone got Activity6x.xls and/or Dictionary6x.xls to work with P6.7? The update removes PMSDK, I believe. Is there a workaround? Thanks.
Milind,
Thank you for this. My bad, i thought it was the same feature installed in the P6.
Thanks again.
Izam i am sending you some links to get Import and export tool for P6
http://knowledgebase.primavera.com/lnattach/858_2003730124645_ImpExp.zip

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Primavera Software Development Kit (SDK) must be installed prior to running this application.
2. A valid SDK ODBC Datasource (System DSN) must be established connecting to the Current Database.
IMPORT EXPORT UTILITY TIPS
IMPORT TYPE IS DETERMINED BY THE FIRST COLUMN IN EXCEL:
All Exports created by the utility will generate a column called Action Ins/Upd/Del.
The value of this column determines the type of Import that will be applied for each row.
"I" will Import, "U" will Update and "D" will delete the data in the PMDB database.
By default, this value is set to "U".
USE THE CORRECT FILE FORMAT:
Before Importing, it is best practice to Import from an Excel file that has been
formatted by the utility. To create the correct format for Import, first create a
file by Exporting from the utility, then modify this file with the Import data.
Delete rows if necessary. Do not modify Column Headings or Range Names.
USE THE CORRECT FORMAT FOR VALUES:
Certain column data requires specific values for Importing. For example,
Activity Status can only Import 3 values: Not Started, Active, Complete.
If in doubt, use the utility to Export data from existing Projects. Data that
is generated by Export is in the correct format for Import.
SETTING RESOURCE COST AND QUANTITY:
When Importing multiple columns, data that is "linked" in the software may be re-
calculated to unexpected values. For example, Resource Assignments may have
Cost and Quantity linked or unlinked according to User Preference. Setting the
cost may re-calculate the quantity. To ensure that data is Imported correctly:
1. Limit Imports to include only columns that should be updated.
- If only the Quantity is to be updated, do not import both Quantity and Cost.
2. Insert data that observes Business Rules
- When Importing related columns, observe known formulas
- (ex. Qty * Rate = Cost)
3. Unlink the values if necessary.
- Set Cost Units Linked = N if Cost and Quantity are not related.
SETTING DATES:
Avoid setting both Planned and Actual Dates in the same Import or Update row.
Set the Status of the Activity to reflect the Dates that are to be set.
For example, set the Activity Status to Active if the Actual Start is to be
Imported, set the Activity Status to Complete if the Actual Finish is to be
Imported.
BACKUP THE DATABASE OR EXPORT YOUR PROJECT DATA TO A *.XER FILE
Changes made during Import will change the data in the Database. There is no
undo feature in the utility. It is recommended to make a backup of the project
data or conduct trial run on a copy of the Project to be modified.
Enjoy Import and Export Utility .....Unlimited

Hey Izam,
I believe Milind was talking about the FILE>IMPORT/EXPORT utility of the P6. Its not a stand alone executable file.
Milind
Is it possible for me to have it? "utility for import and Export
importExport.exe" as quote from your post below.
I can be reached via my email [email protected]
That is a great idea. Just recently I have successfully imported all data using MS SQL, basically everything. In the dictionary.xls there are columns that are read only and we have been trying to figure out how we can update those columns. My theory is those columns cant really be updated using excel but MS SQL or ACCESS.
I would like to see the ACCESS files and perhaps we can work on it.
Hi Hannes,
Thats really great! Actually, I have been working out with that but unfortunately NO success especially with Excel. I can use Activity.xls but I am not satisfied with the result.
Can you please send me a copy to my email address: [email protected] after translating.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arnold
Hi Adrianne
yes it can be linked as well to Excel as to Access. It is even quit easy. I wrote an article about it, but it is in german. Ill try to translate it this week and will post it here
Hannes
Hi Adrianne,
As far as I know, unfortunately No.
Regards,
Arnold
Thanks for the reply arnold. This is the way I am doing it but I was just wondering if by using the SDK the resource type can be changed.
I guess, those methods that you mentioned are the only ones applicable.
By the way, is there a way these can be linked to MS ACCESS? I mean, the whole database.
Thanks again.
Hi Adrianne,
There are two options to do this.
1. Using Resource --> Replace in PM Module
2. Using Excel Sheet
Considering PM Module:
If you want to change the resource type from material to labor then the best thing to do:
1. Create a new resource.
2. Resource Type "Labor".
3. Select all the activities you wanted to change the resource type.
4. Go to "Assign Resources" located at the right corner of your monitor.
5. Select the current assigned resource and select Replace".
6. Then select the newly created resource then assign.
Note: You cannot replace resource those activities already has actual.
Regards,
Arnold
I know its for P6.
Anyway, is there a way to link P6 to MS Access or Oracle?
I know nothing with MS SQL thus.
thease are for P6 not P3
sorry ..i got the activity6x.xls...
my bad.
Thanks arnold. One thing that I would like to know about those columns with READ ONLY note. I understand you cannot modify it from the excel sheet if thats the case. Is there a way to do that?
Lets say the resource type to be changed to something else like materials to labor or vice versa...
Also, is there an excel file counterpart of ACTIVITY.XLS of P3 for P6?
Thanks again.
Thx arnold
i have fond lot of thing there
including
Activity6x
project.xls
WBS.xls
:)
