P6 R8 : Another Brick  In The Wall

Hi all,
I would hear from other people here what is their opinion about the Roadmap of P6.
I see that P6 R8 is moving forward to become another brick in the wall of the Fusion Middleware 11g. The substantial removal of offline client will prevent the use off site.
In the EPPM virtual summit there are some use cases, one about Bell. Apart of the emphasis, they talk referring to Primavera 5, just about a not now existing product.
Have some think about this?
Thanks

With all due respects, I am struggling to see how such a statement can be made.
R8 still has the desktop client for the diehard scheduling fans. It now includes some great analytical tools free. Where Oracle has done a significant amount of development is to upgrade the web interface to the point that fewer users need the desktop client.
I would go so far as to say the most desktop client users could update to R8 and be unable to tell the difference. For the larger enterprises, the backend tools with R8 are a significant improvement.
Right or wrong, Oracle Primavera are doing this because their customers (particularly their big customers who pay big bucks), want this technology. From my perspective, it makes perfect sense. The next “big thing” is Enterprise Portfolio Project Management (EPPM). (Yes, I know it has been the next big thing for a number of years now.) Medium and Large enterprises are desperately trying to integrate their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) stacks into the concept of “managing by projects”. Hence, all of the development to integrate Primavera into the Oracle Red Stack.
Note the tug of war between SAP and Oracle over Primavera. If SAP had won, Primavera R8 would look remarkable like it does now. (Or, perhaps not, Oracle has really thrown lots of development dollars at Primavera. Way more than I expect SAP would have.)
From the medium and large enterprise perspective, if Oracle does a convincing, full integration between Peoplesoft and Primavera, it will be a blow for SAP.

  • Can you cover up one piece of the shot with another piece of the shot?

    Hi,
    I was filming a wall when someone's hand got in the way. I didn't realize this until it came to editing...
    Is it possible to copy another piece of the wall and sit it over the hand so I don't see the hand? I think if I could do that, my troubles would be over.
    Many thanks!

    Yes, dupe your shot, use the mask tool to outline the piece you want to move. Slide it into place...

    Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document  and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

    What can I expect in the way of reception if my base station is in the house and the computer is in another building (2 exterior walls, 30-40 ft distance)??

    Depends on things like the building structure and overall building makeup inside and between these walls. It will probably be fine, but there is only one way to find out for certain.

  • My i-Pad2 won't charge after I downloaded some new stuff from i-Tunes.  A note appears on the screen "Charging is not supported with this accessory".  I have tried charging through two computers and with the wall socket plug (with another cable).  I have

    My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes.  I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables.  I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge.  Any ideas will be gratefully received.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • HT204088 I had a 1 month trial subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I do NOT wish to renew. When I go to the "subscription" screen, it shows after 1 month, another 1 month for #12.95 (I believe that's the figure.)  Will I passively be rolled to anothe

    I have an IPhone 4. Took a "trial subscription" (1 month) to the Wall Street Journal.  I don't wish to continue and, as my subscription ends on March 23rd, the notice I received was I needed to cancel the subscription. However, when I went to the IPhone site, it only showed I had a 1 month subscription & a 1 month renewal of $12.95.  Nowhere was there something that said, "Cancel."  What do I do?

    I'm not sure what you mean by the 'iPhone site' - are these the instructions that you followed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?

    I cant get my iPod touch to turn on or do anything. Can you please help i have done all i can think of and i'm about to throw it at the wall.

    Without knowing what you actually tried:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cant set up Airport Express. Trying to create a new wifi at my apartment complex that has provided wifi. I plug the ethernet into the wall in my room and I cannot connect to the wifi.. help please

    to help me set up my airport express to my public wifi at my apartment complex

    I am a bit lost if you have a public wifi why are you using ethernet into the wall.. is the ethernet just for your apartment.
    The Express can work as a wireless  bridge only to the public Wifi nothing else.. it cannot extend wireless.. so the express would need to plug into another router for you to get more than one single connection to the building.
    Also does your public wifi have a login page . .. because that will then make life much harder.

  • HT1414 I upgraded to iOS 5 and my iPad cannot be recognized by my pc, my apple laptop or any other system.  It doesn't even sync while connected to my wireless network.  also, the iPad can only charge if I turn it off and plug it to either the wall outlet

    After I upgraded to iOS 5 my pc and laptops (including the apple one) do not recognize the laptop when I connect to the USB.  The wireless function does not function either.  I cannot sync the iPad 2 anymore because of this.  Also, the only way it charges is if I lug it to the wall or pc USB and turn it off.  I was able to charge the device while it was on.  Why is this happening?  How can I fix it? If there is no fix, how can I revert back to an older iOS.  I tried using the support apple instructions but the iPad is not recognized by the pc and I cannot sync the iPad iTunes to revert back to an older iOS.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • My new charger wont work for the computer but will work in the wall charger

    So recently, the charger for my Ipod touch 5th generation broke(my puppy chewed it) so I went to get a new charger. I found that the new charger was not working when i plugged it into my computer. After i returned the charger, and got one that seemed a little better, i plugged it into my computer and found that that one also didnt work. I was extremely angry and confused about why they werent working. I was wondering if the problem was my ipod or the charger or the computer. So i plugged it into a wall charger in the wall and that did work! So now im assuming its just my computer but it has always worked before when i plugged it into my computer untill the last charger i had broke. Any idea how to fix this? Or is this unfixable?
