Importing MS Project Tasks

Is it possible, given a path and filename of a MS Project
file (.mpp) to pull tasks and related information. Would like to
display tasks on a web page and possibly import tasks into a SQL
Server database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...
SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST.

Hi farcuss!
I've just completed a task similar to this ... with the
exception that I saved the MS Project file to an Excel spreadsheet
via VBA code. Then within Coldfusion, I displayed the XLS file via
a query. If you have yet to find a solution, let me know and I will
provide you the code.

Importing existing project to Project Online

Hello, my company recently purchased Project Online to add to our existing Office 365 environment.
From the Project Web App home page, I would like to use the Create or Import projects tile to add an existing .mpp project file that I have uploaded to my SkyDrive to Project Online, and manage this project from the Project Web app.
However, I cannot figure out how to do this or if it is even possible. The tile itself says "Create new or import from Sharepoint sites and project files.". To import an existing project you're then referred to this site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-server-help/more-ways-to-create-or-import-projects-HA102923810.aspx.
On that site the only listed ways of importing an existing project are to import a Sharepoint task list (not what I want) or by connecting your local Project Pro to Project Online and publishing the project.
Importing or uploading an existing project file directly to Project Online would seem to be a fundamental basic usage of Project Online. Do I really need to also purchase Project Professional in order to import existing project files to Project Online?
Thanks

Project Online cannot read mpp files, hence the reason for requiring Project Professional 2013 if you want to import these into Project Online - even if you only want to manage them via Project Web App from then on.
If you've not got Project 2013 Pro, you could cut and paste the existing task list from Project into a SharePoint list, and create the project from there.
The way forward will depend on the complexity of your schedules, remember that PWA does not have all of the capability of MS Project 2013

Hi
I am getting the below error while importing MS project into cProject.
Error occurred when importing from Microsoft Project
Message no. DPR_UI_BSP116
Diagnosis
When a project is imported from Microsoft Project, the system generates an XML string during internal processing. A project is then created in cProjects from this string.
The XML string contains errors because the values from Microsoft Project were transferred without verification.
Procedure for System Administration
Notify SAP or call the cProjects application with the "DebugMode=X" query string and carry out the import again.
The XML string that was generated temporarily is then validated against the cProjects XML schema. The error message from the XML parser is then displayed in the popup.
Kindly suggest, if the below steps for importing MS project is ok or not?
step 1: Create project in MS project with tasks.
step 2: Maintain maping fields of MSP in cProject configurat
step 3: Import MPP file into cProject using "Import" button.
step 4: I am getting the above error while importing the MPP file.

How to extend Project Task in the Purchase Order header?

Hi everybody,
I am facing a problem I am sure is not so hard, but I cannot find my way through it.
So, my objective is to extend the Purchase Order Header with the Project Task ID.
I created the extension field first, as below:
But I just cannot find how to populate it automatically from the data in the Project Task field.
I tried a Relation in a BO extension going through the AccountingBlockAssignement, but it seems to not be functional.
I also tried to make a Reference to the extension field and created an Event After Modify like:
this.projecttaskpo = this.ExtensionForPO.content
The Project Task PO is my reference to the extension field created in the Cloud Solution.
And the ExtensionForPO is my relation to the TaskID:
import AP.Common.GDT;
import AP.Purchasing.Global as Purchasing;
import AP.ProjectManagement.Global as ProjectManagement;
import AP.IS.CodingBlock.Global as Coding;
[Extension] businessobject AP.Purchasing.Global:PurchaseOrder {
[Relation(Coding:AccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID)]
[Label("Project ID")] element ExtensionForPO : TaskID;
node Item {
I am pretty sure this is not so hard, but I can't figure how to do it.
The Task ID is in the Line Item so I do not understand why it could be so hard to add it in the Purchase Order Header.
Moreover, when I try to make the path directly from the PurchaseOrder, like:
PurchaseOrder.Item.ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID
It returns to me that the association between Item and ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution is not a node. I know that, but it would be perfect if I could directly go from the Purchase Order BO to the Project Reference and the Project Tasks. But I cannot do that.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it is quite a recurring request from customers.
I could have a misunderstanding in the process of doing it, or even in the code as I am a pure development newbie, so I m open to all propositions.
Thank you all.
Have a nice day.
Jacques-Antoine

Jacques-Antoine,
You can't directly translate a repeating node or element (such as an Item or a Project Task from the Accounting Coding Block of an Item) to a singular node or element.
The reason is that, though your use case may have the elements assumed to be the same for all items, this isn't necessarily the case, so ByDesign won't assume that you can use that kind of logic.
The simplest approach would be to do an On-Save at the Root node of the Purchase Order along the following lines:
this.projecttaskpo = this.Item.GetLast().ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID;
i wouldn't actually recommend this code.
You'd need validations for IsInitial, IsSet, and those kinds of functions.
i'd at least use some foreach loop to check that all the accounting coding blocks were for the same task, raise warnings if they weren't, etc.

Hi
Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12. Imported a project that I had created with PE 9. Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks. But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
Any idea what can cause this?

With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing iMovie project

I've heard that I should be able to import a project form IMovie to FCE HD I'm not having much luck . I only have clipe no transitions no titles. Do I need to prep this in some way first?
When I simply import the .mov there is sporatic audio wave form and when I play it I get sonar sounding beeps before it crashes the app.
Newbie
Thanks
Leslsie

I have no experience with iMovie 6.
Regarding rendering, just press Command and R.
It will render everything usually, but under these circumstances it should only do the audio as that is all that will need rendering.

Importing web project into Workshop 9.2

Hi,
I'm trying to import an existing web project into Workshop 9.2.1 from my Subversion source. Unfortunately Workshop doesn't recognize this project as a valid web project.
I imported the code project using 'File>Import>Existing Projects' into Workspace.
Unfortunately, I get the following errors:
- "The library module reference : beehive-netui-1.0 is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
- "The library module reference : jstl is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
How do I tell Workshop that this project is indeed a web project?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Derrek

Wow.... I figured out a workaround (aka Ugly Hack). It seems that Workshop doesn't properly import Portlet projects. Here's how I got around it:
1. Checkout the code from Subversion
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\
2. Move MyComponent to a temp directory
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\ --> d:\tmp\MyComponent
3. Open Workshop and create a new Portal project and PortalEAR project of the same name as the MyComponent projects
File>New myComponentPortal
4. Copy over the src and WebContent directories in the SVN directory with the files from tmp.
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\src
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src\WebContent -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\WebContent
5. Refresh Workshop and let the spooky voodoo happen. Viola! Now I've got a running portal project with a SVN connection.

Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
-Michael

First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

Importing EDL project frame rate is always 23.98

Hi There,
I'm importing a 24 frame EDL. All of the import settings are set to 24 fps. However on import, the project frame rate is always 23.98.
I have added the number 24 to the defaulteframerate section of the preferences file, but no luck.
Anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks

Just a wild guess since I don't normally work in 24 fps... all of us NTSC-biased types accept that 23.98 (more accurately, if not absolutely precisely expressed as 23.976) is the "pull-down" frame rate that results from a telecine transfer, and is the rate that is assumed, corresponding to 29.97 or 1000/1001.
This framerate is emulated in a number of "Digital Cinema" electronic origin formats.
Absolute 24.0000 fps is a bit rare in these parts and in reality probably would only come up if one were working with a dpx image sequence properly scanned, not telecined.
Not saying that 24.000 does not exist -- I'd say that it is just as uncomfortable a fit in 25 fps-land as it is here! And Color / Final Touch has been notoriously bad with 25 fps.
good luck and merry christmas....

Importing a project from Sony Vegas

I'm trying to import a project that was initially edited in Sony Vegas to do audio and color correction in Final Cut. Apart from rendering the project out to an HDV tape, and re-importing it into Final Cut through Log and Capture, what is the best methodology so as to retain the most data for timelines, etc.
We can even go so far as to have the original hard drives, but I just can't fathom how to migrate into final cut.
Suggestions?

The back to tape method sounds good. Otherwise using flip4mac to import an intermediate AVI's is also good.
Does Vegas export EDL's ?

Importing a Project outof memory error

saichand.v

Hi Saichand,
Try increasing the HEAP size in ODIPARAMS.BAT/SH file which reside in <ODI_HOME>/oracledi/bin
set ODI_INIT_HEAP=32m
set ODI_MAX_HEAP=256m
to
set ODI_INIT_HEAP=256m
set ODI_MAX_HEAP=512m
or so.
Where M stands for MegaByte.
If the above solution wasnt work out, upgrade ur Java to 6 or so.

"file not found" error in VI Logger when running an imported VI Logger task

I'm having trouble getting all of my imported tasks to run in VI Logger.
I'm using VI Logger 2.0, with an SCXI-1100. The data acquisition tasks I import run fine. One of the VI Logger tasks I've imported runs OK, but the other one gives an error:
"Engine Error!
Error Code = 7
LabView: File not found. The file may have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the OS."
If I create a new VI Logger task, the new task works OK. And my 1st VI Logger task to be imported works OK. So I know my setup mostly works. But our company has never been able to figure out importing tasks very well, so I'm looking for help.
Question 1: What file is LabView looking for? I've checked my Export path and database path, and they are identical in both the working task and the non-working task.
Question 2: Where else might I look for the difference between the 2 VI Logger tasks? Neither task uses any weird characters in the name, both have analog input channels and calculated channels. And I've mixed and matched the data acquisition tasks with no change (the good VI Logger task will run with either data task, the bad VI Logger task won't run with either data task), so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the VI Logger task, and not the data task. I've also tried importing the 2nd task on its own, as a separate import function, but that gave the same error.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Jake

Hi Spex,
I can import the VI Logger task OK (from another PC running VI Logger 2.0), but I can't run the task. I've attached the file. The "1 channel" task runs OK. The "x-probe" task starts, takes 1 or 2 data points, then hangs for a few seconds, then pops up the "file not found" error. The data acquisition taks run OK, so I don't think they're the problem.
This file I've attached includes 2 good data tasks ("1 channel" and xprobe"), 1 good VI Logger task ("1 channel"), and my non-working VI Logger task ("x-probe", which works fine on the PC it was exported from).
I have also tried exporting the non-working VI Logger task on its own, and it still imports OK, but still doesn't run, and gives the same error.
Thanks,
Jake
