Contract Management Ver. 13 & Sample Projects

Our office finished testing and migrating from Ver. 11 to Ver. 13 recently w/ our existing projects. How difficult is it to bring over the "Sample Projects" database from Primavera?

you can create a new demo database which contains the same sample projects with the dbsetup.bat utility.

Link Contract Manager and Project Management

Hi all.
I follow userguide and some
solution in Knowledgebase to link Contract Manager 12.1
and Project Management 6.2, but it doesn't succeed. In Contract manager, when I right click on project
-> Project Setting -> Schedule. The
"schedule" option is gray out. I can not select
"Primavera".
Is there anyone try to
link these modules ? Please help me.
 Regards

First check if Contract Manager Service has access to
the server that contains P6 database. 
If there is a connection, try to make
sure you are using good credentials (make sure that
you get the <servername>
<instancename> username/password
correct).
... post more
details, how its set up, etc...
 good luck ;]

Project Manager and Contract Manager

Dear Sirs,
We have Primavera 5.0
and we are looking for a document control program. I know
that Primavera use Contract Manager to organize the
documents and be able to share information with the
Project Manager. I would like to know the experience that
you have to respect.
Thanks. Mauricio

You may want to read the customer success stories on
the Primavera website. For example, here is one that
mentions using both P5 and Contract Manager:

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management

We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very much

Hi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

Question on Contract Manager Adminstrator roles

I have a question on IT roles around contract manager. What do people typically see as far as contract manager IT administrator roles ?
We are deploying contract manager to a user base of about 500 users and perhaps 100 concurrent users (eventually). Right now we have a small production deployment for 3-4 construction projects.
We are trying to figure out how to structure the contract manager admin role. One idea we have is to establish a 1st level of support, provisioning users and possibly setting up new projects. I could be involved in a 2nd level of support, dealing with more infrastructure problems, such as defining new security templates, configuring document attachment storage, troubleshooting problems with the server or with letters. We’d structure it this way so that the day-to-day work of dealing with users would fall to the 1st level of support and the more backend problems would fall to me. I have some other projects I’m involved in so the day-to-day dealing with CM users would not be as much of a burden on me.
My boss is concerned about clear cut roles. If his group is responsible for an enterprise system (contract manager) then only members of his team (me) have the power to do things like modify the configuration of CM, start/stop the server, reboot the machine. Other IT team members, not a member of his team (1st level support person) could have admin privileges to deal with user/project provisioning only. 1st level support person wouldn’t have full administrator privileges. Is this technically possible? Does the security model of CM support such a division of labor?
What else have people seen that works as far as roles? Is having just one person take on both user/project provisioning and the rest of the admin tasks doable? If a single person is managing contract manager, is this a part-time load or a full-time load? Recall that I’m slated to be involved in other projects such as UCM in general, I/PM (Oracle Imaging and Process Management), possibly some integration projects too.
Are there any guidelines for best practices around admin roles?
If anyone has any experience/opinions on Primavera P6 roles I’d like to hear about them also.

Yes, the arrangement you describe with you being the 2nd level support (server level functions) and another person being 1st level (user admin, etc) is certainly technically possible. You would have full admin rights to the server on which CM resides, and the 1st level person would only require access to the CM Admin web-based interface through an ID and password. From what you describe, that person would not need physical access to the server at all in order to handle the user account management.
Now, based on the number of users which you descibe, it really sounds like a full time job for at least two people. These numbers will vary based on how much the CM app will be customized and integrated with other systems. Beyond the IT support you describe, there will be a need to have "super-user" level users that can handle the application level requests such as how do I add a new contact, what value do I put in that field, etc.
Although it's becoming more common, 500 users is still a large implementation in the PCM world. I've seen organizations with up to 10 IT type people involved with implementations of that scale, but maybe not all full time.

How can we share knowledge such as sample projects and OPA standards?

Is there a place for the community to share things? For instance, we have been working on OPA standards, etc. It might be nice for other people to be able to comment on or reuse what we have created.
We also have example projects we are creating to prove concepts. As an example, we created a project to demonstrate temporal reasoning. This project answers questions such as "How do we make corrections to mistakes put into production for rate tables or temporal rules?" "How are general additions, subtractions, and modifications of rules handled when the rules are temporal?" "How do you unit test temporal rules to make sure they will not break at some point in the future?"
These questions were not easy to answer, so it would be nice to share our solutions and see what the community thinks.

Is the rule exchange down? http://www.ruleexchange.com/
I had time today and wanted to upload a sample "OPA Standards and Guidelines" document for the group's feedback... It is a rough draft, but feedback would help improve the quality of our work.
If I can manage it, I also wanted to upload a sample project that explains and demos temporal reasoning as we understand it. In light of some recent conversations on date usage, it seemed appropriate.

Email in Contract Manager 12

Has any one started to use the email import in Contract
Manager 12?
If so are you creating
a new email address for the project or using a Project
Members email?
If you are using a
Project email how are you handling the size limits? 
Have you found any other issues with the
email import?
Thanks Anthony

I belive there is not many users utilizing email
sync.
I was testing it birefly,
and I regret to see that sender address is not
assigned to user account so in fact user A can send
e-mails appearing as sent by person B. 
I would not use this functionality in
production env until Exchange 2k7 is supported and
security issues solved.
 What size limits are you reffering to?

Problem with Oracle Analytic Workspace Manager ver 10.1.0.4

Hi,
I am running Oracle Analytic Workspace Manager ver 10.1.0.4. When I tried getting connected to Analytical workspace I get the following error. Any help could be appreciated.

There are posts on the OLAP forum covering this problem. Anthony Waite from the OLAP Product Management team has provided the following information:
e new, default Model View in AWM 10.1.0.4.0 is based upon the OLAP Analytic Workspace API (a.k.a. AW/XML). Just to recap and further clarify my earlier post, you must pass the following requirements in order to use it:
1) Be sure to be using the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle Database 10g.
SQL> select banner from v$version where banner like 'Oracle%';
You should see Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition.
2) Be sure to have the Data Warehouse database configuration or the OLAP Option enabled.
SQL> select parameter, value from v$option where parameter='OLAP';
You should see OLAP TRUE.
3) Be sure that the RDBMS 10.1.0.4 patch set has been completely installed. Users often miss the required Post-Installation Steps such as running catpatch.sql.
SQL> select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;
You should see VALID and 10.1.0.4.0 for the OLAP components.
4) The Oracle Database must have the compatibility mode of 10.1 to use the Model View as it relies on the unique features found in Oracle Database 10g.
SQL> select name, value, description from v$parameter where name ='compatible';
You should see 10.1, not 9.2 or earlier.
5) Please refer to the patchnote.htm that is bundled with 10.1.0.4.0 patch set. Only you are aware of what type of database configuration you have. You will want to pay close attention to "7.2.1.3 Set the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and JAVA_POOL_SIZE Initialization Parameters" and "7.2.2 Upgrade the Release 10.1 Database".
Basically, I believe you have missed these required steps after installing the 10.1.0.4.0 patch set from the OUI: (pasted from the patchnote.htm)
For the full discussion please refer to this link:

We consider the upgrading to SRM 7 end we need to know if in this VER' the Contracts present the item price when you using condition in item line.
Thanks
Isiaki

Hi
the price has more than one prices and you have to click see conditions and see
orSRM tables;-
1)       Take the GUID from CRMD_ORDERADM_I table
2)       And input that GUID to /1CN/CBPSAP016 table
ECC tables: -
1)       A016 (Input GOA number and item number)
2)       You will get KNUMH numbers
3)       Enter KNUMH numbers in KONP table
4)       You wil get all the pricing condition details

Contract Manager v 11 problems

Our company purchased Primavera Contract Manager 11.0 a few years ago and never really used it.
If possible I'm trying to get this running as a test server to make sure we can use it for our projects before upgrading to the current version.
I'm installing on Windows XP SP3 and I'm getting a lot of errors.
During installation I received this error.
The populateGroups utility failed.
Rerun this utility after this setup is finished.
I can get to the local login web page but after entering the login info this comes up:
The application's digital signature has an error. Do you want to run the application?
I hit OK.
The application requires and earlier version of Java. Do you want to continue?
DetectPluginApplet
I hit OK.
But it never logs in. It just stays on this login page.
When trying to use database wizard to update databases or creat new one I get the error:
Database Server Error: Named Pipes Provider: Could not oepn a connection to SQL Server [53].
So is there any hope of getting this running or do we have to spend $1K to be able to use this? The boss already spent $2500 so we would like to use
Thank you for any advice.
budgen

Thank you very much.
First off the maintenance support was let go in 2008. We'll have to purchase all those years and 2011 which cost about $1K which we'll do. I just want to get logged into the Application and show the boss what's possible first. I hope v.13 isnt' this difficult but I know I'm learning.
Yes the populategroups utility now works without error.
That EXPADMIN takes me a step further but after trying that login the message below shows up on the login page.
"Cannot open database(s) EXPADMIN, CMDEMO, EXPADMIN, because it was created with a previous release. Please convert the database(s) to version 11.1 or contact your Contract Manager administrator."
I thought I did that already but apparantly not.
Updating the databases to 11.1 isn't very straight forward. Using the CA.exe is rather difficult. I get the error : "Database Server Error: Named Pipes PRovider: Could not open a connection to SQL server [53]."
The CM service is stopped.
Where do I get the Instance Name of the EXPADMIN? It's not in the InstallParameters.log as the others are.
Here's the installParameters.log if that helps:
Contract Manager Database Server:
Database Vendor          - Microsoft SQL Server
Group database name     - cmdemo
Computer Name          - BARRY
Port Number          - Will be obtained during the install

Error in compiling Photoshop CC 2014 sample project

Hi,
I am trying to compile SDK sample project "outbound". but it is showing errors, as "Parse Issue: Unknown type name 'DialogPtr' " in DialogUtilities.h .
DialogUtilities.h file is in "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:photoshopsdk:pluginsdk:samplecode:common:includes".
even if I add this path in project settings it still shows the errors.
how can I make this work?
I am using Photoshop CC 2014 and Xcode version is 4.6.3 (4H1503)
If you have any idea regarding project settings then please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Priyanka.

Are you using the CC 2014 release of the SDK?
The DialogUtilities.h for mac do not work. They are the old Carbon API's. See the Dissolve example for an Objective-C UI.
I would comment out the DialogUtilities.h include and other associated headers for Carbon UI. Some Carbon calls still work that are unrelated to UI.

You probably need to post this over in the InDesign SDK forum, but I'm not sure that's even the right place. Can you explain in plain language what this "project" is?

How assign a "Project Manager" for a new project?

Hello,
I need to know about the "Project Manager" in a new project.
Does the "Resource Manager" build the team and assign a "Project Manager"?

It totally depends on your organization process.
Normally PMO creates project, build team,assign resources to tasks, then while save and publish the projec assign Project manager as owner for the project plan.
If you have Resource manager in your organization then he can build the team for the project publish it then PMO or project manager can assign the resource to the task then save and publish the plan.
IF project manager has idea about resources then he can also build the team and assign resource to the task.
Note :- once PMO or resource manager build the team and publish the project then Project owner need to open the project plan add new field in the plan STATUS MANAGER and select his name for all task for which he will give the approval to the actual of the
task send by resources.
By default who ever will create project act as STATUS MANAGER for all the task.
