Latest Version Primavera P6

[Adrienne Borgman]

In our demonstration you have received a Primavera P6 XER file that has been created in version 15.1 and your version is 6.2. Your older version of Primavera P6 will not import this newer version P6 XER file. You are not without hope though.

Assuming your operating system is Microsoft Windows 7 and the file in question is saved to your desktop, right click on the XER file icon and select Open With > Choose Default Programs from the resulting menu, Figure 1.

Note the first number displayed in the first row of the file. This is the version number, which for our demonstration is 15.1. Simply change this version number to your compatible version of choice. In our demonstration we change it to version 6.2 and save the file, Figure 5.

Important Note: This technique works great with the exception of Primavera P6 15.2.3 where Oracle added a checksum to the XER and XML files to identify whether the XML/XER has been modified externally. However, in Primavera P6 15.2.5 Oracle then removed the checksum.

A simple, yet sometimes, crucial tip is to edit your XER file to change the version number to make it compatible to your installation of Primavera P6 Professional. This process will vary slightly depending on your operating system. The Microsoft Notepad works well as an editor in Windows version 7 or later. The key is to locate the XER file version number on the first row of the data file.

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

As of 2008 Primavera Systems supported long-established products - P3 and Sure-Trak - and the newer P6 version. The long-standing P3 product in its various forms was used by 25% of the heavy construction industry, its predominant customer base; the next most popular software was used by 11%.[4] Nearly 40% of general contractors with an annual revenue of $5M to $10M used Primavera P3. In comparison, the P6 version did not register in a CFMA 2008 survey of the United States construction industry. The P3 version to P6 version change is based in a move from DOS-type shortcut keys to mouse-based icons. Thus, a software application that was once very fast to use but grounded in shortcut functions (which some users found difficult to master) moved to a mouse-based application that is quick to learn but once mastered never achieves the same speed of use. The Primavera Project Planner DOS core launched in 1983[5] and the P3 Windows interface launched in 1994.[6]

In April 2013, Oracle Corporation announced the release of version 8.4 of Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management.[9] This version incorporated material from Oracle's acquisitions of Skire and Instantis in 2012.[10]

Primavera has been targeted by extortionists as a way to efficiently compromise digital business assets through fixable software security flaws, leading to a higher return in the usage of ransomware.[11] A security patch is available for most of such exploits.[12]

Primavera P6 Professional Project Management is designed for managing large, highly developed, and diverse projects. It can be used to organize projects of up to 100,000 activities and provide an unlimited number of resources and target plans. Starting in mid-2019, Oracle has committed to releasing updates for local users every December as version 19.12. Then the latest version of Primavera P6 (Cloud) was released on December 19, 2019. Furthermore, Oracle releases Primavera P6 Cloud updates monthly.

Although many of these new features are available to Oracle Primavera Cloud customers later in the year, users can take advantage of them for the first time. It is providing new features and functionality available in Primavera P6 (Enterprise Project Portfolio Management) EPPM version 19.12 right now. Let us look at some of the great features of Primavera P6 EPPM 19.12.

It has scheduling and leveling settings when exporting projects to Primavera XML format. When importing a Primavera XML file, you can use the import option or save them compared to the scheduling and leveling options.

Also, you can choose to import the project from an XML Primavera file using the exchange rate from the XML file or the exchange rate from the database. When imported using an exchange rate from an XML file, the value is converted into a calculation for the difference in exchange rates between the XML file and the database. To use the exchange rate in an XML file, you need to have the corresponding currency ID and name in the database.

You can now choose to update baselines when importing projects from the Primavera XML file. When you select the Import Current Update function at the project level, the corresponding imported baseline of the import file is updated. The project you choose to import but does not match the one you choose to update will be added to the project.

A very useful addition is the Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) site overview, activities, project allocation, and resource allocation that you can review for years and then divide into financial periods.

If the admin does not specify the financial time during the project, the Gantt chart does not show the data for the project part whose dates are not outside the available calculation period. If there are no regular accounting periods for the project, the Gantt chart shows no data.

Now it allows to import and export data in Microsoft Excel format from the Enterprise data page. Import/export of resource curves, risk portfolios, units of measurement, version codes, document lists, general codes, and basic types are implemented. Enterprise data allows you to import / export data globally in Microsoft Excel format. This includes financial resources, WBS types, and model import/export methods. Currently, available sources and tools are exported to Microsoft Excel. Under Sub-Task and Tools, you can export data to Excel and all the distributed columns in the view.

New item in the project settings, you can now lock the key tools in the Update working days in the worksheet. It is possible to allow key resources to be updated on selected working days, allowing project managers to track work schedules and how key tools can update the project start and end dates.

In Team Members Web, the Application Settings panel has the option to prevent users from entering the timeline before and after the mission start date. You will now be notified if there is a timesheet awaiting approval.

After the exit of Version 18, access to classic view pages is disabled. Each user can export any classic view they can access and import it to create a standard view. The view Migration option allows the super-user administrator to convert all classic views in the database to the default view while maintaining the scope of user views.

You can allow or restrict access to multiple sources of information. Users can list five resources to find out which resources they can use. The user can access and use all sub-resources of the selected source and the selected source. If you choose to disclose an approach based on fixed asset limits, P6 will only show the key responsibilities assigned to the resources you have. This is because you do not see the boundaries of each job, but only the resources that give you a clear view.

In the Usage chart of the Select Source and Select Role dialog boxes, use the View to use the list to determine whether the chart will show resources or features for all published projects or only for a specific project.

You can now specify start and end dates for charts used when allocating resources or roles for activities. This setting is saved with the view and can be configured on the Tasks page, Project section Tasks page, and Resource section Tasks page. Finally, according to WBS Hierarchy, WBS can share my actions and ideas within the group.

You can sort and sort data and see all WBS levels in the project portlet. You can also search, print, and load data into the portlet. When you click an action to implement, you can customize the view of the data, including adding columns to the corporate network and the Actions tab.

A new option on the My Settings display format tab will allow each user to disable report readiness alerts. Each time a user runs a report in a non-HTML format, a Report Readiness Warning appears. Users are cautioned that this report does not meet the accessibility requirements for the blind.

You can filter the activity page by using special filters and standard filters. You can also compare the start date on the activity page. You can sometimes compare dates. You can follow the two images below to get this filter function.

At the WBS level, you can see the following fields: Expected Completion, Expected Initial, Summary, Integrated Practice, Integrated WBS, Parent, Project Status, Proposed Budget, Responsible Manager, Status Observer, WBS Name, WBS Name, WBS Category, WBS Category Path. You can also filter and group most of these columns.

You can delete discussion comments on Web P6. You can unsubscribe from discussions on the Team Member Web. To delete discussion ideas on the Web P6 or Web Team Members, you must have the project-level privilege to delete discussion ideas.
