CProject integration with MS Project

Hi,
Bascially can we upload MPP file directly to cProjects, if so what are the settings that we need to do.Do you have any documents which provide this information.
Normally i heard that MPP files gets converted into XML and this file is generally upload and direct upload from MPP file is not supported, is this correct.
Regards,
Srikanth ( [email protected])

Hi Rehman,
Thanks for your response, i will wait for your documents.
I have following questions and here is the business scenario.
customer download cProjects to MSProject.
now if he uploads same MSProject to cProject , it will result in simulation version
can we bypass this simulation version and update directly to operational version.
is it possible to provide your contact number to discuss this requirement.

Cproject Integration with BW ( Querys )

Hi gurus,
In Cproject i could get detailed information of a particular project by the status Report, but as i mentioned it´s only for a particular project.
I´m testing with BW integration but i´m dealing with some problems.
When i execute a standard querys eg. 0CPR_C01_Q0006, i get incomplete information because the phase and the task of every proyect are with '000000000000000000000' (empty), but the project name / description / responsible resource appears.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks for all.
Regards,
Diego

Hi Diego,
I am interested in BW integration with cProjects. But as of now i dont have much understanding on how it is working. Can you explain the way it is working. I am not able to find anything related to this. What is the transaction code to view/execute the queries available.

MSP Integration with Oracle Projects

Hi Dina,
Does the integration between MSP and Oracle Projects work without any issues in R 12.1.3? We've tried using it in the past with R 12.0.6 but have to say the experience was not good. It used to work at times and fail on other times. Most of the times the first time import from MSP to Oracle Project used to work but subsequent changes to the WBS used to give issues while trying to import into Oracle Projects (even though the link to the Oracle Project existed in MSP).
One of our new customers (Construction Company) wants to create the WBS in MSP (Microsoft Project ver 2003 or 2007) and then import it into Oracle Projects to track progress, effort and cost. Any changes to the WBS (which happens frequently) will be done in MSP and imported back into Oracle Projects. Does the above mentioned requirement work consistently in R 12.1.3? Please let us know.
Thanks
Regards,
Sri

The MSP integration requirements that you describe should work in the latest versions of 11i e.g. (FP.M RUP4) as well as R12.1.3.
My experience is that providing all scheduling is done in MSP then the integration functionality works well.
The recommended process flow for MSP integration is:-
•     Oracle Projects: A project manager creates a project in Oracle Projects from a project template containing information for deliverables, work breakdown structures, and resource assignments
•     MSP: The unscheduled resource and workplan data is downloaded to Microsoft Project for scheduling
•     MSP: The project is scheduled in Microsoft Project based on task assignments, task dependencies, task constraints, and other attributes
•     MSP: The scheduled workplan data is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publishing
•     Oracle Projects: The project workplan is published in Oracle Projects
•     Oracle Projects: After the workplan is published, the project is accessible to all team members working on the project. Team members work on their assignments and report their progress in Oracle Projects
•     Oracle Projects: The team members' progress on the tasks is collected for updating the project plan
•     Oracle Projects: The project plan is updated with the team members' progress
•     MSP: The project is now unscheduled. The unscheduled project plan is downloaded to Microsoft Project for rescheduling
•     MSP: The project plan is rescheduled in Microsoft Project and the task information is updated
•     Oracle Projects: The rescheduled workplan is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publication

CProjects integration with R/3 HR issue

Dear All,
We are replicating the HR details to cProjects (CRM) system.
The replication was happening fine and while the employees(resources) getting replicated to the cProjects system, a Business Partner (BP) number will get generated automatically for each and every employee.
All of a sudden, we have got an issue.
While the details are getting replicated to the cProjects system, but the BP number is not getting generated, the BP number is blank.
FYI: We have not done any changes to the cProjects system recently.
Will really appreciate your clues.
Thanks,
Vijay Anand

Hi,
We did all these settings. Just now we found out issue behind this.
In r/3 table PA0000 employees with the status 0-withdrawn are not downloaded to crm. In this table status of the employee should be active, then only it will download employees to crm.
Now the issue is client asking us to download employees who quit the organization. Please suggest if we need to add any filter to download employees who already quit the organization to crm.
Becuse there are some relationships existed for these employees earlier. When we try to download relationships from r/3 all bdocs are comming to crm and sitting in queues. Showing error. If we can download the employees who left the organization our issue with relationships also got solved.

Madhu.

Integration with Microsoft project

Hi
I am trying to create a ECC project from MSP(using OPENPS). However one of the field in SAP is mandatory at project definition(ex Company code). But I cant see the same field in MSP hence system does not create any project and showing a message enter the Company Code.
I created a column in microsoft project as "Company code" but it did'nt work. Please suggest how to create project in this case.
Thanks & Regards
Aby

Hi,
OPENPS can not handle different company codes. It takes company code mentioned in the project profile.
You can try different project profiles for each company code.
You can also make the company code field as input field and then make changes manually after uploading from OPENPS. Can make a BDC or LSMW for this also.
Try MPS tool, but it is not free tool, it works on top of OPENPS so you still need OPENPS installed on your system but MPS gives many more options to work with; download its free version and test if it can fulfill your requirement.

Incorrect Duration while integrating MSP with Oracle Projects (OP)

Please help with regard to the below mentioned issue:
1. Created a WBS in MSP file. (Task T1.1 Duration = 5d in MSP)
2. Created a project from MSP. The structure used is a partially shared structure.
3. The duration received in OP is not the same as that in MSP. (Task T1.1 Duration = 7d in OP)
4. Entered progress for the project in OP.
5. Received the workplan (WBS) from OP into the same MSP file, the duration was neither 5d nor 7d but 1.67 d.(Task T1.1 Duration = 1.67d in MSP)
The calendar used in MSP is a standard calendar 5 days * 8 hrs. Which calendar in OP is being used for calculating the duration? I've defined a schedule calendar that is attached to the project template in Additional Information. The schedule calendar is 6 days * 8 hrs.
Regards,
Sahoo

The Scheduled Start and/or Finish dates in Oracle Projects are not used by MSP to schedule a project if task level Scheduling Options have been populated in Oracle Projects. Constraint Type/Date, Scheduled Duration and Slack fields are used to schedule the project in MSP, not the Scheduled Dates.
To review the Scheduling Options for a task:-
Projects: Delivery -> Search Projects [Find project and open it]
Go to the Workplan tab
Update the current working version of the workplan
Update a task (using the pencil icon) in the workplan
In the Task Details page, select the Schedule sub-tab
Expand the Options section at the bottom of the page
To sumamrise, if you schedule a project in MSP then you should continue to use MSP for all scheduling activity on that project. Updates to the scheduled dates in Oracle Projects will be ignored when the plan is downloaded to MSP. MSP will build the plan based on the following fields:-
Constraint Type
Constraint Date
Free Slack
Total Slack
Task Type (Schedule task type, not to be confused with Oracle task type)
Scheduled Duration (not to be confused with the difference between the Scheduled Start and Finish dates in Oracle Projects)
Actual Duration
Remaining Duration
Effort Driven Flag
Level Assignments Flag
This is all not documented very well in the Oracle Projects manuals, and comes as a surprise to most users. Some useful additional reading can be found on MOS:-
Integration with Microsoft Project, Volume 1: Best Practices [ID 987752.1]
Integration with Microsoft Project, Volume 2: Implementation Recommendations for Project Process [ID 1166372.1]

MS Project Integration with cProjects

Dear All,
We are testing the MS Project Integration with cProjects 4.0. We have 1 query.
While importing the Project from MS Project to cProjects if changes are done then it creates the new project in cProject system.
Is it the standard MS Project Integration functionality ? We want the system to update the cProject only for the changes after Import is done. Can we get this ?
Thanks & Regards
Ashish Kulkarni

The system will create a new project only if you have cleared the Project ID field (in MS project).
Else (if you do not change the Project ID field), the system creates a simulation with the standard system provided simulation for the project.
Once you have the simulation ready (in cProjects), you are supposed to reconcile the operational project (main project in cProjects) with this simulated copy to bring the updates/changes into effect.
Hope this helps...

Project systems integration with portal (EP)

Dear all,
I have to integrate the projects systems module with Portal.(EP)
In portal transactional I views can be used to create projects which can be store in the R/3.
Now the issue is to create projects with out using Transactional I views. This should be a simple entry through portal, where in the user keys in the key fields and there by the project is created and scheduled.
For this I have tried with using business packages given by SAP to integrate with portal.
Now the issue is I can display the projects that are created in R/3 through portal and display the necessary fileds required for viewing (I views). Now the main problem is to create the project using these business packages so that the same get updated in the R/3.
But business packages do not have the option of creating the project. I am using the business packages for projects 50.3.1
Has any body come across this type of issue which has to be integrated with portal and subsequent creation of projects through portal
If any body has done this in any other way please kindly share on this.
Experts please throw some pointers on this.
Regards.
Vara Prasad

Hi Aman,
You may try creating transaction iViews of the desired PS Transaction.
For more help you can take help of your Portal Administrator.
Else, see if this link may help:

Change Management integration with Project Administration

Hi,
Could someone help me understand the integration of Change Management and Project Administration within Solution Manager, pls? I would be very grateful for a sample process to demonstrate the complete workflow. Eg.
1) Support Messages is created
2) Change Request is created from Support Message
3) A project is created for the Change Request
4) ??? What about the blueprint, configuration, testing, learning features? How do they integrate with CHARM?
x) at the end, how does the project created for the Change Request integrate with the project that documents the business process? I mean, if the actual processes of an R/3 system are documented in a SolMan project, and a Change Request is processed, how do I modify the general project with the change project?
This is absolutely not clear either in the on-line help or in the book "SAP Solution Manager"
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hi,
> 1) Support Messages is created

I am not quite clear what exactly is your requirement here. Change Request Management and Project management are different in their ways. You can handle the documenation tasks through your project management and ChaRM is used for the changes.

PS Integration with PP with respect to Make to order projects

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that our customer is having only Make to order projects ,In this aspect Is there any Integration with PP.
Thanks In Advance.
Regards
Madan

Hi,
Please search the forum there are various threads releated to this topic.
There are various ways doing this.
Attach a finished material to the activity in cj20n and then run MRP .System will create Planned Orders/PRs on the basis of Material type whether the material is meant for internal Production or for prourment.
So in your case after MRP,a planned order will be created and then you convert to a Production Order.
Issue the raw materials to the production order and confirm the operations and a finished product will be produced and then you issue to your project.

How to work in RH9 when project is integrated with TFS and TFS server is down

My RoboHelp 9 project is integrated with TFS/Visual Studio. The server went down yesterday and won't be back up until late today.
If I open the project locally (rather than from Version Control), how do I eventually get the latest files (those that I've worked on locally) into Version Control?
Thank you.

Hi,
I use the following method:
1.       Open the project and disconnect from source control.
2.       Modify any files you need. Be aware that when you add/rename/remove/move files, the RoboHelp control files are modified too. (.apj and .fpj)
3.       When TFS is up, check out the files using team explorer. Do NOT overwrite local files. (Make a backup first.)
4.       Using TFS, check in all modified files. Do NOT check in the XPJ file. If you do, the project will lose its connection with source control.
5.       Thrash the local project.
6.       Get the latest version from the server.
Be aware that this requires that you know what you’re doing. Especially when control files are modified. When you only modify the content of existing topics and check the existing topic in, you should be fine.
Greet,
Willam
