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".

Compare Oracle Project Management and Primavera

Hi All,
We are using Primavera today and it is not integrated to Oracle.
We are also currently implementing Oracle Projects Management (R12.1.3) and trying to evaluate if Primavera can be replaced by Projects Management. Based upon my little experience with Primavera - I see some advantages of Primavera over Projects Management e.g.
a. Primavera is more user friendly than Oracle Projects Management.
Primavera: easy to create workplan; configurable views; generate reports with gantt charts
b. Primavera has scheduling engine to derive schedules based upon dates/duration/logic while Project Managment does not have it.
c. Gantt charts are better in Primavera than Oracle Projects Management.
Has anyone also done similar kind of analysis and evaluated the need of Primavera integration with Oracle Projects Management? I would appreciate if you can share your inputs.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
I have used both the product. For project management i would suggest to use primavera for the same reason u mentioned.
the only disadvanage in primavera is it is not integrated with ERP.
Now oracle provide a AIA PIP integration package to integrate Primavera with oracle Projects(Limited integration). Use primaver for Project managment and oracle for Project Costing and Billing

Oracle Project Analytics - Project Manager Security Implementation

Has anyone implemented a security scenario for Project Managers, such that they can only see the information associated to their projects when using EBS as the source? If so,
- How did you identify the relationship between project managers and their projects? Did you use an initialization block and pull this information in from EBS?
- Where did you define the security/filtering configuration so that they were limited on what they could see?
- Did you create a custom responsibility for 'Project Managers' and have them access a set of Project Manager dashboard/reports that followed the Project Manager security model?
Thanks in advance.

Please note that I have posted this same question/thread in the BI Apps forum. I didn't want to duplicate effort, but I know different users may only come to this forum. The link to the original thread is below:
BI Apps Forum Thread
Oracle Project Analytics - Project Manager Security Implementation

Coolmesh84,
Thanks for the great info and reply. This makes complete sense to me, but I just want to make sure I am clear on a couple points:
+1. Use an initialization box to filter the user's emp id+
You mean use an init block to pull the users employee id and store it in a session variable correct? The session variable will then be used later as part of the filter criteria.
*2. and add a filter to the required dimension table in business layer to filter based on the project_manager_id column for the project manager group.+*
To implement the step above, would you follow theses steps:
1. Go to Manage->Security
2. Under Groups, select the group planned to be utilized for this filter (in this case I double clicked the Project Manager group).
3. I then Click permissions button for this group
4. Go to the Filters tab of the window that pops up
5. Add a filter, go to BMM tab and select the Project dimension and then define a filter for Proj Mgr Id = nqsession.employeeid
+3. Ideally you should be able to use the OOTB project manager group for this security.+
This is a good point, but a few more questions here - There are a number of Project related groups (see below) in the out of box Oracle BI Apps RPD and all of them essentially roll up to the super group 'Operating Unit Org-based Security'. Is there a best practice or preferred approach for utilizing these groups as they related to Oracle EBS v12? Is there any good documentation out there to see what the intended use and setup is for these groups? Do all of these groups relate back to an EBS Responsibility? I have read through the OBIA Security Configuration document and basically all it says is to enable the operating unit org initilization block and thats all .. not really all that helpful.
Thanks again - k

Difference between Oracle Projects (EBS) and Oracle Primavera

What is the difference between Oracle Projects (EBS) or Oracle Primavera? what is Oracle’s direction on Project portfolio management solution.

Yes it is. The Oracle database wasn't initially designed to be ANSI compliant. As you correctly state the ANSI standards weren't around when it was initially designed, so the statement is perfectly correct. ;)Ok, in one sense it may be correct but it is a completely misleading statement. Not sure why you think it's misleading.Because there was no ANSI standard, so making it sound like a design choice The Oracle database wasn't initially designed to be ANSI compliant. would suggest to most readers that there was a standard to be compliant to.
Like saying Ford originally did not design their cars to incorporate safety features such as ABS, seat belts and air bags.
The OP asked "why oracle is having different syntaxes for joins than ANSI syntaxes ?" and the answer is that Oracle wasn't initially designed with ANSI compliance, so it has it's old non-ANSI syntax,As shown above, the old syntax was ANSI compliant at the time and to call it non-ANSI is either incorrect or misleading dependent on your point of view.
and since ANSI syntax became the standard it now supports that. And since ANSI switched to a new standard, Oracle had to implement the new standard as well as the previous ANSI standard would be more accurate in my opinion.
Nothing misleading as far as I'm aware in that.I find the whole discussion about ANSI and Oracle's supposed non-compliance, reads like it was Oracle's choice to deviate from the standards, when it was ANSI's bullheaded decisions to pointlessly change standards that left Oracle and other vendors out of compliance, and that was a decision made solely by ANSI.
This is probably the reason ANSI no longer produces SQL standards, the endless syntax fiddling would eventually have made forward left under outer joins a reality.

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 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.

Primavera P6 Analytics and Primavera Integration API

Hi,
I am running the runetl.sh script, and getting an error. Here's the excerpt:

Oracle Projects WBS and Construction Industry Projects

Hi, I would like to hear from anyone who can share example Work Breakdown Structures for Construction projects (e.g. high-rise commercial buildings, etc).
We currently have a process where we manipulate a Bill of Quantities in a spreadsheet and upload that in a summarized format (as a series of Trade Packages,etc) to Oracle. There is then a process to create the WBS and the Budget.
My query is around whether anyone has an alternative WBS-style for projects in a construction-oriented company. Because our WBS is based on Trades, it can get extremely long and unwiedly. Example below:
0.TP0430 Concrete Supply & Place
0.TP0431 Precast Concrete
0.TP0610 Reo Supply
0.TP0620 Reo Fixing
etc, etc.
thanks,
Mike.

Hi
When your invoice method is WORK (Time & Materials) you must run the process GDR (PRC: Generate Draft Revenue) before you run the process GDI (PRC: Generate Draft Invoice). That is because only the GDR process is calculating the billing amount and creates the RDL (Revenue Expenditure Line) for the Expenditure Items. Later on the GDI process select all un-invoiced RDLs and group them into the invoice lines.
When your invoice method is based on Events then GDI picks all un-invoiced events. It is not required that events will be included already in a draft revenue. Therefore, in that case the order you run the GDI & GDR processes does not matter.

Project Management for Primavera Integration

Dear All,
I hope someone completed primavera and 11i integration successfully using AIA PIP. can anyone clear that where Oracle Project management is required or an optional one to integrate with primavera , only oracle project costing and billing module is enough.
Barathidasan

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.

Enable Project Analytics Integration with Financial Subject Areas

Guys, i know there are a few of us out there that are or have done PA implementation with Oracle Finance.
I went through the docs and found how to steps for "You can enable Oracle Financial Analytics for EBS to use dimension tables in Oracle Project Analytics."
Please see below the link to the docs
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14223_01/bia.796/e14216/anyimp_configfinance.htm#CHDCCCAJ
However, i did not see this option for the "Financials - General Ledger" subject area. I end up manually adding the option "Enable Project Dimensions" by click on the <add / remove> option for the Configuration Tags tab under the "Financials - General Ledger" subject area.
Can someone confirm that they faced the same "issue"? What action did they take? I have in the past run the loads without making this selection for all the Oracle Finance and it seemed to still bring the link between the Oracle Finance and PA.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,

General ledger facts have no link to project dimensions, i.e there is no analysis of GL data from project dimensions. Thats why you dont see it in the GL subject area. If you added it yourself and turned it on, it probably has no effect.

Project analytics issues

Hi,
1.Is there a way to get the resource time charged to project in oracle project analytics?
2.Is there a way to see the project plan (integration with ms project or project server) in oracle project analytics?. What options here?
3.Is there a way to get skills matrix in Project Analytics
Please do needful and urgently
Thanks

Project Analytics application

Hi All,
Am trying to implement/configure the 'Oracle Business Intelligence Applications' and specifically interested in 'Project Analytics' package. Can anyone please tell me whether I need to be using Data-Warehousing techniques, as the release notes only specifies 'Configuration Guide for Informatica users' ?
Can anyone please pass on a good reference for me to proceed.
Thanks,
Karthic

Hi Karthic, the document you specifies is the correct guide for the configuration for OBIA. Follow the steps enumerated in the charpter 3 "Configuring Common Areas and Dimensions" and Charpter 15 "Configuring Oracle Project Analytics". Then, you need to create a execution plan that contains the proper subject area to extract projects information and run it.
Hope this could help you.
Regards.

Financial/Project Analytics Load - Some of the Tasks TRUNCATE Table Fails

Oracle Business Applications 7.9.6.1 - Financial and Project Analytics
DAC Load for Project Analytics fails with most of the tasks failing at Truncate Table Tasks.
I am implementing OBIA Financial Analytics and Project Analytics, I am able to configure and run the Out of the Box Loads without any isssues for Financial Analytics. After making sure everything is fine with Fin Analytics i configured the Project Analytics and ran the Load only for the Project - ORA12.
Financial analytics : Load went through fine without any issues.
Project Analytics : Majority of the Tasks fail with 'TRUNCATE TABLE table_name' itself.
No log of Informatica Session Files are Created
No Log of Workflow logs but taskname.log.bin files are Created.
I am assuming the loads are failing because it is unable to truncate the data loaded by Financial Analytics Load and due to Foreign Key constraints,
I did the integration as per the document by unchecking in the Configuration Tags.
Do i need to run the load together, As i am unable to figure out what is happening due to the absense of the log files i.e Session, Workflow.
DAC logs are not providing much info.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks

hi
you need to create a new execution plan that contains fin & project subject area. Do not forget to build the new plan,
thx
