Copying a project and network structure

Dear experts,
I have a problem in copying the project.
I am using Investment management. After approval of the project I'm activating the measure at the time of activating the WBSE there is an option of copying the operative project or std. project, when I mention the operative project in copy filed and save, the project structure upto WBSE levels are copying. Upto this it is fine.
The networks are not copying by this method. I'm trying to create a network with reference network. Its copying that particular network along with the relationships within the same network.
But my problem is we are using PS for R&D projects and all the projects are having similar structure, so i want to copy the whole project structure mainly the relationships of other networks also.
I tried using CJ2D, here I can only cerate a new project without investment management. Here when i create a project with reference to another project the system copies everything like all level WBSE and Network activities with all relationships I mentioned in the earlier networks. Actually this is the requirement I'm looking at. But I'm not able to get this done when I'm using investment management.
Can anyone please help me in sorting out this issue.
My major problem is R&D project contains so many activities and with lot of relationships within the network and also with other network activates. And we will be having nearly 100 projects per year and creating the same kind of networks every time is a very huge task.
Please some one through lights on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Elza,
Thanks for your inputs, really helpful.
I follwed like this, activated the project deifinition in appropriate request saved it. Then in CJ20N I opened the project and in template area I have opened the operative project's level 1 WBSE element and dragged the same to the new project definition, system copied everything from the operative proejct structure all WBSE and the network activities with the relationships as such.
But I have one more doubt. What happens to the link between the Appropriation Request and the Project? Like when I used to activate the proejct definition and create a project from appropriation request there is link between the approriation request ans the project and copies the planned values to the project, and also controls the budget values w.r.t the project.
But what happens in this case? how the link is established and the budget is controlled? Can you please clarify this also?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Praveen.

Custom project and build structure

Howdy,
I have a directory structure that is slightly different than what is created by the default project by Studio Creator. Is there a way to create a new project that uses my directory hiearchy instead of using the default structure? Also, is it possible to use my ant build file instead of the included one?
thanks
Sam

Hi,
The Ant Settings node enables you to specify the location and properties of Ant used in the IDE.
You can view and change Ant Settings by choosing Tools > Options > Advanced radio button, and then choosing Building > Ant Settings.

IMovie quits while copying projects and events to an external HD. Any ideas?

Here is my problem: i was running out of disk space and wanted to move my projects and events to a new, external WD hard drive. I followed to normal procedure and moved the projects within iMovie 11 to the new (meanwhile connected and displayed) WD drive. I selected to copy both, projects and events to this drive and iMovie started copying. After a while the prog crashed. Does anyone have an idea what else I can do? Is this a bug of iMovie?

I found the solution and just want to share with you...
1. I closed iMovie
2. I renamed my existing root folder projects and events by adding a '_' at the beginning of the folder name.
3. I copied all my content (projects and events) within the finder and not as normally recommended within iMovie from the internal to the new external hard drive.
4. When starting iMovie again the newly copied folder are recognized and it takes a while (depending of the amount of clips and projects) until iMovie is available after this start.
5. The events and projects are now shown in the new external harddrive and all files are accesible. Also all clips from the events are correctly linked in the projects.
I have tried this way since the normal decribed routine did not work on my iMac (iMovie crashed every time).

Imovie crashing when copying Projects and Events to external

This is driving me crazy. Imovie keeps crashing when I try and copy some of my projects and events to the external from within iMovie. I can copy the project and event files separately as a work-around, but it's taking me forever. These are very short movies, less than 3 minutes, and the original footage is from a Kodak zi6. I've already copied more than 40, and all went well. Now it keeps crashing.
Why can't I just copy from the Finder. It would be a LOT faster. I'd like to keep the projects/ events linked so that I can edit in the future, if necessary.
External: Firewire, Guid Partition Table, and Mac OS extended (journaled). Lots of free room on both drives.

Copy SDK project folders

I've been making copies of some of the example programs and modifying them for
different learning exercises. I make a duplicate of the whole folder then rename it.
But when I launch the program in the iPhone simulator it keeps the old program name and just rewrites the old one. I tried renaming the app target name and that didn't fix the problem. I tried renaming the executable file name and that didn't solve this either.
Anyone know what's the best way to copy a project and have a completely different project to show up in the simulator?
Thanks

There's no support in Xcode for changing the name of a project, so a complete change is time consuming. As you'll see, the project name gets into places you never wanted to know about.
Here's a procedure I posted last year for a complete make over: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8616624&#8616624].
My procedure is intended to cover every detail since I needed to change the name of an app that was already in the store. I don't think you'll need to cover all those bases just to rename your test projects. I'd recommend doing the whole procedure one time just to see that it works, then decide which changes don't matter to you.

Transferring projects and events to new external drive

I have been using a 2 TB external hard drive to create both personal and commercial videos using iMovie '11. Due to space limitations on the 2 TB drive, I now want to transfer the commercial video projects and events to a new 1 TB external hard drive. I started by copying one project (and associated events). I then copied a second project that uses clips from the same events as the first project. As a result, I now have two copies of the events--one copy associated with project 1 and a second copy associated with project 2. Consequently, the 1 TB hard drive is filling up fast with twice as many events as I originally had before starting the transfer process. I also have a third related commercial project that I want to transfer to the new drive, but I'm afraid I'm going to fill up the drive sooner than I expected with a third set of events. Ugh!
In effect, I want to move multiple related projects that use clips from the same events from one drive to another without losing associativity and without creating extraneous events. I would appreciate any help.

Hi
Yes there are somer IMPORTANT steps to take and not to take.
• DO NOT - Move or alter any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects on Desktop/Finder.
If You do - iMovie get's confused and it might not allways be repairably.
• DO
The external hard disk
MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX(DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO !
SHOULD BE - a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly
Moving Events and Projects - ARE DONE in the iMovie Program/Application and in resp. window
Just drag from one hard disk HERE to the other one and new iMovie Proj/Event folders will
be created and iMovie will find them.
AND - answer the choise if You want a full Move or a Copy made.
(Event's window can be changed to view Yearly - or - Yearly per hard disk connected
top right hand corner of window - click small hard disk symbol.)

Everytime I go to save my movie or export it a message comes up saying I dont have enough room and to close my project and reopen it, will I lose all of my work if I do what it says? how do I resolve this?

I've never have this problem before, but if you are really worried you can go to finder -> Movies -> iMovie Project.
And then you can copy that project and put it in your desktop first. If you really did lost your project, you can still put it back. It will play perfectly if your events aren't damaged

Standard network not creating project and WBS automatically

Hi,
I have a standard network with a standard WBS assignment at BOTH header and activity levels.
I created a link to a material in CN08 with this standard network.
Assembly processing has been configured.
When creating a sales order, entering the material... the network create screen appears and the system requests a WBS element.
At this point the system should have created the WBS element.
When I insert an existing active WBS element as a test..., the system message indicates that the network is already assigned to a Std WBS element.
Why is the system not using this assignment to create a project and WBS element form the standard structure?
Thanks

Hi,
As a test...
I've removed the linking of the material and standard network in CN08 - and the system now displayed a screen asking for standard network details.
I create the material and standard network link again in CN08 - and I'm back to the original issue of the network create screen appearing, but the WBS field is blank. The system is not generating the WBS.
So - the system is recognizing the link of the material entered in the sales order and the standard network via CN08. But its not using the Standard WBS used in the standard network AND CN08 setup....
Note: The Std WBS has the planning and billing indicator ticked.
Once again, when creating the sales order, I get the network create screen asking for a WBS element. If I insert an existing WBS element I get the message below. The issue is - I know the standard WBS assignment exists, why isn't the system generating a new operative WBS at this point?
An assignment to a standard WBS element already exists
Message no. CN044
Diagnosis
You have created a network by copying from a standard network. The standard network is assigned to a standard WBS.
However, at the same time, you have made your own assignments to WBS elements.
System Response
When you manually make assignments to WBS elements, the system does not necessarily take the asignments in the standard stuctures into account.
Procedure
When you call up the function replace standard WBS or when you save the network you decide whether the manually created WBS assignments or those fronm the standard structures are copied.

Copy Project and Mass Change

hi experts,
When I copy a project from another operative project with list of material (external), the plant (in the material component) tab is also copied over to the new project. Is there any way that I could change this plant assignment for each material - it is greyed out in my system.
Additional information:
1. All of these material are Non-Stock (so Plant is irrelevant)
2. Procurement type = third party procurement (PFS)
Thanks, Tony

Hi
It is not possible to change the plant while copying or with mass change function.
Alternatively you can copy all the WBS elements and activities without materials. Set a subsitiution rule to change the Plant at network level.

I want to copy video, cutaways and audio combined and use in another project. So far I can only copy the video clip or one of the other elements at a time. How do I group all of them?

I want to group my video clip with its audio and cutaway clips so that I can copy the segment and move it to another project. So far I can only move one element at a time. How can I group all the elements?

You can select multiple objects in the timeline in the usual Mac way - hold down the shift key while you click on the objects then copy, select other project, position playhead where you want to insert then paste.

How to download and upload long text for project, WBS , Network,

Hi all,
I have two isssues.
1) I am extracting Projects, WBS , Network , Network activity and network activity element from a SAP 4.7 system using bapi's
BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAIL
BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO
BAPI_BUS2054_GETDATA
I am able to get all the details except long text. I want to know how do i extract the long text other than getting it manually by using select_text and Read_text Function module, is there any bapi to achieve this.
The reason why i am not using Function modules Read_text and Write_text is, object name( TDNAME ) value stored in STXH table for project, wbs and network are the project, wbs and network itself so i dont have any issues with this but the TDname value for activity and activity element are completely different ( Routing number and counter is stored respectively ) which i am not getting as the part of the bapi(BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO) output.
2) I have to upload the extracted Project and it sub object data to ECC 6.0 system , i am able to achieve this by using BAPI's BAPI_PROJECTDET_CREATE, BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. I am not able to load the longtext for the same, is there any way to load the long text .
All help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

I don't think there is any BAPI to do it.
We are doing it by read_text & edit_text . required fields for text name can be fetched by following select
if not e_activity[] is initial.
    select aaufnr aaufpl baplzl bobjnr b~vornr
      into corresponding fields of table t_longtext
      from afko
        as a
    left join afvc
        as b
        on aaufpl = baufpl
       for all entries in e_activity
       where a~aufnr = e_activity-network
       and a~aufnr is not null.
endif.
      txtname = wa_longtext-objnr.
      replace c_nv in txtname with sy-mandt.

How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

Project and Checklist templates - Copy

Hi,
We are on PPM5.0.
Is it possible to copy project and/or checklist templates from one client/system to another? We are not carrying out any client or system copy.
We have a significant number of projects and checklist templates in a training client. These templates are now required to be created in the Quality client (another system). Creating them all over again would be a big effort and we are looking at ways (direct or indirect) of copying the existing templates into the new client/system.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Deepak,
Have you considered exporting to MS Project and Importing into QA client? Disadvantages are you will need to do this for each project and when importing you will have first import (as a simulation) into an operational project and then create a template out of the operational project.
PPM5.0 also has a data import utility (tcode DPR_DX_PROJECT), however, exporting the data into a spreadsheet may be a challenge.

Lashan

Copy iMovie events and projects to SD card

I have my iMovie events and projects folders on and SD card, and I can copy it to the Movies folder, but I can't copy iMovie events and projects to the SD card, it just shows a white cross:
Is there any way to copy those folders to the SD card?

Hi
a. NEVER do this via DeskTop - Has to be done in iMovie'08 or 09
b. external hard disk - HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT WORK
(FireWire - is of *Great Value* - though USB/USB2 performs badly)
c. In iMovie'09 You can movie iMovie Projects and iMovie Events
(in iMovie'08 only iMovie Events - most important - takes most space)
d. In Events window in iMovie - top right hand corner - Here You see a small
sign eg a hard disk.
By clicking on this - material in window will change from Year view to hard disk
view
Now drag one folder eg 2010 to the other hard disk
iMovie will now ask You if You want a Copy or a full Move
e. In iMovie'09 - same logic goes for moving of Projects

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences
