Integration Settings in Oracle Projects

Dear All,
We are looking to integrate Oracle 11i with Primavera, The problem is we couldn't find Integration Settings* option in the Oracle project super user responsiblity. Can anyone guide me how to enable this option.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rani
The options should appear after the patches for Ebusiness suite 11.5.10.2 are applied. The below is what the documentation lists as mandatory patches
EBS 11.5.10 CU2 with the following patches:
– Patch 5644830 for Oracle Projects Rollup Patch 4 for Oracle Projects FamilyPack M (11i.PJ_PF.M).
– Patch 3485155 for 11iPJ_PF.M.
– Patch 8979063 for 11I.MRUP4 : Projects AIA Third Party Application Integration Cumulative Checkin.
– Patch 10189818 - EBS:P6:11i.MRUP4: CUMULATIVE CHECKIN FOR AIA 3.1 RELEASE ISSUES.
Specifically 8979063 provides the required options.
If you have applied the patches above then is my interpretation that something has failed.
Regards,
Esteban

Integrating SO to Oracle Projects

Hi team
Can anybody suggest if:
- we can integrate sales orders - internal and external, from OM to Oracle Projects; without using Inventory and without installing Oracle Manufacturing.
- what are the integration points and pre-reqs between OM and PA to work with or without Inventory, but without Oracle Manufacturing.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Thanks Raghavender for your reply,
I have done some testing on this since and have found that if enter a purchase order in Orcle PO uisng either Period End Accrual method or Perpetual (At Receipt Accrual method) then a commitment will be transferred to Oracle Projects. However, when the PO is receipted, only the Perpetual method will interface the accrual to Oracle Projects (and reverses the commitment) and include in actual balance there. This has been confirmed in Oracl User Guide and Oracle consulting.

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]

Hi,
The Primavera intergration works with the "Standard Intergration" of Oracle 11i & R12.1 with the version of P6, this is the statement was in by the market experts. Even I have not worked on this intergration part of primavera with Oracle. still, I can provide you some search engine links, which could help you in http://www.projectp.com/products/op3.php ; http://www.projectedconsulting.com/index.php/community/blog/2010/04/primavera-and-oracle-projects-integration/

Oracle Project Analytics and Primavera

Hello Experts,
I would like to know whether Oracle Project Analytics supports Primavera?
Thanks,
~ Ash

Project Analytics only sources data from Oracle Projects in the eBusiness Suite. So, the only way that you would get planning information from Primavera into Project Analytics out-of-the-box is if you have integrated Primavera with Oracle Projects. Oracle now have a separate Analytics product for Primavera, "Primavera P6 Analytics".

Oracle Projects integration to Primavera

Hi,
We are integrating Oracle Projects to Primavera for a construction client.
We are able to:
- Send project header and wbs information from Oracle Projects to Primavera
- Send activity and resource assignment from Primavera to Oracle
However, when we enter actual efforts and dates in Primavera, we are NOT able to interface this information back to Oracle Projects.
All setups as per 'E15794-01_PIP Integration pack.pdf' document and Project Management User Guide are done.
Has anyone done a Oracle Projects-Primavera integration, or has any clue? Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
Balaji

Hi Dean and Dina,
Thanks for your answers. Following is the missing info:
- Yes, we are using the AIA PIP
- We are using 'Workplan enabled' projects for integration with a 'Partially Shared Structure'
- In integration options, we are only integrating 'Workplan' with a 'Working Version'
- We are trying to send only progress information from P6 to Oracle Projects, not the time card info
Iniitially, when trying to send progress from P6 to Oracle Projects, we were getting the error - 'You cannot update a published version of the workplan'
However, after checking the following flags, we stopped getting any errors in AIA/middleware and still not getting any data into Oracle Projects:
Projects --> Setup --> Integration settings:
Integrate - Workplan - Send Task - Current Working Version
Integrate - Workplan - Receive Task
Workplan --> setup:
Allow Physical Percent Complete Collection
Allow Physical Percent Complete Overrides
Thanks for your help.

Oracle Project Management for P6EPPM Integration

Hello,
We are working on the integration between Oracle Primavera P6V7 and EBS 11.5.10.2. Is it mandatory to have the license for Oracle Project Management. In case it is not then can you please suggest alternative methodology
Thanks and Regards

Sachin,
Your information is really helpful, If I am not using Project Management then where to do the "Integration Related" Settings in Project Costing module to send data to primavera. Right now we have done Integration Related settings in Project Management module.

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

ORACLE PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION PACK FOR PRIMAVERA P6 & EBS

Hi,
Where can I get the software ORACLE PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION PACK FOR PRIMAVERA P6 and Oracle E-Business Suite?
Suggest me.
Regards,
Mini

It should be possible. However I will suggest you get in touch with your local sales representative for clarifying licensing policy. It may require you to purchase full license of AIA foundation pack and SOA suite.
Oracle is expected to release new PIP solution for P6 and R12. You may want to wait for that. Search the forum and you will find lot of threads with details.

Oracle Project Management and Oracle HCM integration????

Is there any benefits of Oracle Project Management for users of Oracle HCM?? Can they be integrated and how?

ERP systems were built because you could use various products like Fin, HCM, CRM, Project accounting etc seamlessly as all are built by the same provider and you will have less interface headache.
So, based on what your company's requirements, you can choose to implement one or more of the products.

I've been involved on 2 projects that included integration into Projects. On both occasions Oracle's Activity Management Gateway (AMG) was used. AMG is the open interface for Projects. We used it on one occasion with Primavera Expedition to load budgets and the WBS and on another with MS Excel to upload budget information. ODBC and AMG was used on the MS Excel project.
