Primavera 8.2 tool bars missing

I also just lost my toolbar as well as the menu's on both sides of the screen,  I can only get into the Activities screen and can't even open another project. I'm working on P6.8.3, standalone

I also have lost my toolbar in primavera p-6 oracle 8.3 version

how can i fix it

Hello Zoltan,

Thanks for appearing. I have been trying to solve this issue for last few months now and almost at the point of re-installing.

I could not login into the database using 'admuser' as you mentioned. However, i can login to database using 'admprm$pm'. When i run the query, i get the following error;

failed to parse SQL query:

ORA-00920: invalid relational operator

I have attached screenshots of the query. Also, I noticed that the 'User_data' field is greyed out. Does that mean i cannot alter it?

Thanks for any help guys. If i can fix it within this week, it would be great. Otherwise an entire reinstallation is the only way i suppose.

glad I could help

I was having the same problem, but for my admin user, menu bar and all the tool bars were missing and the only window open was the "Activities" window. 

I ran the script Zoltan Palffy provided and that corrected the problem.

THANK YOU!

This issue because of corrupt data in your user preference table, hence connect in to the database using admuser and run this below query will help you to delete the corrupted user data.



Update userdata set user_data = null where topic_name = 'pm_settings' and user_id in (select user_id from users where user_name = '<username>');



note : <username> is the user's login id for Primavera



Login to Project Management will recreate the user preference

Hi Darren,

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I have the same issue and it seems to be a problem with no apparent solution but to uninstall and loose all data.

That is nothing compared to what happened to me; I slipped while using my mouse and turned off everything, including the menu area.  It gives you a very clean window with absolutely no way to activate anything. 

The secret to solving your problem is to right-click the mouse on the menu area (or at the very top just before the Window’s Handle area if missing the menu.)  Then click on the items you want turned back on.  Good luck!
