Hi guys

I'm useing P6 R8.1 standalone version, and have serveral projects imported in the software. Now I want to import another new project, but one tip showed up some time after the importing process started, stating the request have exceed the maximum capacity of datebase (Code:PRMDB-0398-8).

I checked my datebase, and the 4GB almost used up. I tried to delete some project from P6, while there was no much change to the used percentage of datebase.

Any advise how can this problem be solved?

Thanks.

Hi, Zoltan

this is like eating an Elephant you have to delete info in chunks

step #1

you have to delete a few activites first then you can delete a group of activities.

Then you can delete the projects that you no longer need

Step #2

create an additional database
