How to Manage the Resource Master in Primavera Enterprise Version

We are using P6 enterprise version in our company having a central database. We had created our own unique resources and standardised across the enterprise and is Admin protected. However we often have to import some schedules sent by our consultant/client. In those schedules they have their own resources.
So when we import these schedules, it also imports the resources along with it and pollutes our resource master.
Can anyone let me know, how to manage such a situation.
Regards

We have met this issue. You have few ways to deal with it, but each has its own +ve and -ve.
1- You may create a separate "Working" db into which you can import those files and keep them there only. Your master db shall be used for maters and your own program only.
2- You may do the same for checking the resourses, vet them before importing into the final db
3- P3 and MSP importation allows you to select the node to which the resources will be located. We have created a resource node called "Imported Resources" and dumped all those resources into it. Our users don't have access to that node so those resources can only be used on the imported program and can't be assigned to any other program / activity
4- Enforce your supply chain to use the same resource list. We managed to do that for our main and subcontractors. That formed part of their contracts.

How to Load the Resource Master for Generic Resources by Department?

We are using P6 enterprise version in our company having a central database.
Q1a.) We set the Activities view > Resource Usage Spreadsheet > Select View 1) By Resource OR 2) By Role.
The result is the spreadsheet presents the Remaining Early Units by Resource OR by Role. Other spreadsheets behave the same way. Is it possible to view the total Remaining Early Units and not have it separated by Resource OR Role?
Q1b.) We would like to find out the recommended structure to load Generic Resources (ie. professional and trades such as Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Carpenter, Welder etc.) for each Department (ie. 8221, 9362, 8524 etc.) into the Resource Library. Example: we would like to load Civil Engineer once for departments 8221, 9362, 8524, load Welder once for departments 9362, 8524, etc.
We contacted Primavera Support and they pointed us to use Roles.
Thank-you for any suggestions you may have.

i think you could try to model it like this:
- define a single "mech eng" role in the role tree (not too deep or even a flat list). no dept's mentioned here. keep the role tree strictly "speciality" oriented or anyway according to their technical classification.
Role ID     Role Name
Engr     Engineer
.......Engr.SE     Structural Engineer
.......Engr.EE     Electrical Engineer
.......Engr.ME     Mechanical Engineer
- define any number of resources (either individuals, or teams or even a combination of the two) in the resuorce tree.
1 eng with a capacity of 8h/d, a fixed formation (team) regardless of the number of individuals would still have a capacity of 8h/d if they can only accomplish tasks together. if assigning a team of 5 means means faster for fixed workload or more for fixed duration then define a fixed team (again if this is the case) as a single resource with a capacity of 40h/d or simply define and assign the required number of individual eng's 8h/d max each. use activity duration type to switch between duration driving and non-driving resource usage.
e.g.
Resource ID     Resource Name     Resource Type     Default Units / Time     Max Units/Time     Primary Role     Roles
.......*ElecEng     Electrical Engineers*     Labor     20.00h/d     20.00h/d     Electrical Engineer     Electrical Engineer
..............EE1BARBW     Barb Wire, Senior Electrical Engineer     Labor     10.00h/d     10.00h/d     Electrical Engineer     Electrical Engineer, Project AQ
..............EE2BILLS     Bill Sanders, Junior Electrical Engineer     Labor     10.00h/d     10.00h/d     Electrical Engineer     Electrical Engineer, Consultant
.......*MechEng     Mechanical Engineers*     Labor     10.00h/d     0.00h/d     Mechanical Engineer     Mechanical Engineer
..............MechEng T1     mech eng team 1     Labor     8.00h/d     8.00h/d     Mechanical Engineer     Mechanical Engineer
..............MechEng T2     mech eng team 1     Labor     16.00h/d     16.00h/d     Mechanical Engineer     Mechanical Engineer
.....................MechEng T2.1     ME 2.1     Labor     8.00h/d     8.00h/d     Mechanical Engineer     Mechanical Engineer, Consultant
.....................MechEng T2.2     ME 2.2     Labor     8.00h/d     8.00h/d     Mechanical Engineer     Mechanical Engineer
- create the necessary res to role associations. one employee or team (i.e. res) can be linked to one primary qualification and several other proffesions or specialities (i.e. roles)
- when assigning to activities, if a particular individual/ team is required assign directly the res. select several activities requiring mech eng, select 1 or several mech eng's and assign them (use resource security to limit user's access to certain res nodes).
- if any res with a particular role can perform the task, assign the role. later on if you decide for a res, you can assign a particular resource through the previously assigned role. decide applicable rates and h/d between role and res.
- you can track allocation in spreadsheets and histograms by resource or role (or by activity for both). if individual res have clear capacities, for roles you can chose between custon role limits (manual) and system calculated for each role based on res having that as primary qualification (user pref)
- you can report by activity / WBS / project / portfolio (tracking)
- solve over-allocation by levelling, by switching between res for the same role, etc
- optimise duration vs. load and/or # of res/roles (and viceversa)

IDM : How to get the Resource name in Exclude Rule during Reconciliation?

Hi
Problem Statement => How to get the Resource name in Exclude Rule during Reconciliation.
Problem Description => Apparently, we use exclude rule for not consider some account during reconciliation.
I need the resource name in exculde rule during reconciliation. I tried with getResources() method which is an inbuilt method.But it gives all the resources are aviablable in the repository (IDM). I need only the current reconcilied resource name instead of fetching all the resouce.
Can any one please help how to get the resource name in exclude rule during reconciliation?
Thanks in advance for you help.
Thanks,
Chellappan

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have 50 resouces and these resouces using the same kind of exclude rules. In the exclude rule, i am using resource name to do some work. If i get the resouce name in exclude rule, then i can use the same exculde rule for 50 resources. This will minimise the rule count from 50 to 1. For that, i need resouce name.
Thanks,
Chellappan Sampath.

how to manage the memory in i pad

Use iTunes on your computer to store items that you want to save but are not needed on the iPad. Learn to sync and also learn how to do file transfers. Delete unneeded items from the iPad.
When you connect your iPad to iTunes you will see a bar describing how much of your storage space is being used on your iPad. I always suggest leaving plenty of space open for the iOS and apps to operate.

How i can download my backup data? And how to manage the data on i Cloud?

You can't download an iCloud backup, except to restore it to your device should you ever need to.
iCloud data can be managed within the apps on your iPad. Any changes to the data within the apps corresponding to the data you are syncing with iCloud will take place in iCloud. You can also manage some of this data on icloud.com from your computer.
This article explains ways to manage your iCloud storage space, should you need to reduce you iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

How to manage the host root folder?

I'm using iWeb08, and I'm on system OSX 10.5.8.
Last week I flawlessly transferred my site from Apple to another host.
My question is, to make a few simple changes to it, {mostly text and links}, do I have to load up ALL the files again to the ftp host? I don't know how to manage the root folder yet and I don't want to clutter the folder or cause the site to malfunction.
Is there any useful posts on managing a hosting root folder??
Problems or thing I should know using iWeb08?
Thanks... Ghary.com

Once you get to know the file structure its possible to just upload the changed files by intelligent guesswork.
You can also look at the date on the local published files but this would be rather time consuming.
Most FTP apps have a synchronise feature to handle this for you but you need to set this up carefully and do a test run to make sure it doesn't wipe out essential files on the server.
If you do a lot of updates and you want to get your web pages downloading faster, an optimizer will do all the thinking for you. These screenshots are of one of Ton Brand's Optimizers - HTML Optimizer Plus
On the first pass all the files are optimized and uploaded...
After that, Smart Handling is turned on and only the changed files are processed...
The original folder is 10.1 MB and the Optimized one is 7.7 MB. That's without optimizing the PNG images. The finished site downloads fast. It needs to since its designed to work on mobile devices.

How to manage the ATE_SEARCH_IDX-index in Ask the expert-application?

I'm currently looking at the Ask the expert(=Tom Kyte) application and I cannot figure out how to manage the Oracle Text-index "ATE_SEARCH_IDX" ON "ATE_SUBMITTED_QUESTIONS" ("ANSWER")
INDEXTYPE IS "CTXSYS"."CONTEXT".
In the Readme-file can be read:
"To customize search functionality, view the Oracle Text Index installation
script. You can change the interval that the index is synched and change
the fields that are used in the search."
I don't see the Oracle Text Index installation-script.
Can anyone give me the contents of the script or come up with an alternative?
Thanks,
Jan Willem

Thank you, Marco. I found it.
Still, the reason why I was looking for it was the fact that I asked myself a question, answered it and then tried to Search for it. I couldn't find my own question (and answer).
The only way I found to make it work was to manually rebuild the index on the answer-column in ATE_SUBMITTED_QUESTIONS. But I'm sure there's another way, because these are not the kind of things you'd like a customer (or myself) to do on a regular basis.
Can you give me another way to synchronize this index preferably managed from inside the database?

How to manage the Credit Control for Customer Consignment Process?

2. maintained consignment credit limit in Z table
3. logic for detemining status written in sales order save userexit.
4. while calcualting the values, system need to check open sonsignment order of customer/ open deliveries/ stocks at customer place MSKU table. and calculate value with MBEW/KONV ect.
5. if value is less than Z table then status AUTO, which do not need release, if value is greater than Z table put status LOCK means credit block need to release from new T.code.
Hope you get some idea
