Primavera Vs MS Project with Projects R12

I am looking to find out whether people recommend Primavera or Microsoft Project for integration with Projects R12, and why they recommend it.
I do not know which of the two to choose. It is a company of 150 staff with complex engineering projects and manufacturing.
Thanks,
Matt

I would recommend use Primavera for project management and Oracle projects for Costing and Billing.
1. Primavera is userfriendly compare to oracle project management.
2. Primavera allows scheduling.
3. Easy Resource management functionalities
But primavera has a very limited integration with Oracle Project through AIA PIP. You may need to build custom integarations based on your need.
Thanks

Need help with Project Pro

Hi,
I recently purchased few licenses for Project pro from office 365 (online version). When I log in to office 365 and go to my apps I can not see Project Pro app there? Where it might be?
Also when I create a project with desktop app, where is the option to sync that project to server? The license already included with
Project Online and Project server Sync.
Any Help solving my issues will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Please see this
article for starting a project with Project Pro for Project Online.
Don't forget to use in Project Pro the email adress used for creating your O365 account.

Need tech help creating project with PE11, Windows 7

I still need help creating a slideshow set to music for DVD playback at my 50th high school reunion.
Video Media = 700 still images in .jpg or .tff format. Pixel sizes range from 200x200 to over 3000x4000.
I first created this project using PE's presets and original image sizes. Images added to PE were more blurred than originals & images burned to DVD were even more blurred so I asked for advice.
Last week several people in the forum tried to help. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions but would still appreciate further advice.
Forum experts said to restart my project with project settings changed to DV 720x480...and to resize my images to 1000x750 pixels. Then today in a PE11 chat session, I was told something different: use project settings changed to DVD 720p 30 and resize only larger images down to 1280 x 720 (leave smaller images alone).
So what project settings and resizing should I use for better image clarity? How do I change project settings? By clicking on "new" under "file" >change project settings >DVD 720p 30 or something else?

Up-rezzing small Still Images, regardless of the program and the Scaling algorithm used, can lead to a diminished quality. As Steve says, pixels are created, where none existed. I try to stay away from up-rezzing, whenever possible, due to that diminished qualtiy.
If I have to work with very small Images, I often use another workflow, and a different asethetic choice. When faced with the prospect of using small Images, I will create a background of some sort (many options here), and then use that small Image at its original size, "framed" within that background - no Scaling involved, but obviously, that small Image will not fill the screen. The viewer usually has fewer problems with the small Image, than one that is larger, but has started to fall apart, due to the up-rezzing.
One "trick" that I use is to use that small Image AS the background, but alter it greatly, probably dropping its contrast and upping its brightness, and even adding a Blur to it, then do a PiP (Picture in Picture) of the Image at its original size. I might even create a "picture frame" in Photoshop, to really set that small Image apart from the background. That is but one of dozens of such possible treatments, and one is only limited by their imagination.
Another possible treatment would be to do a "photo wall" with several of the small Images in say a 3 x 2 matrix of PiP's. Sort of like a Contact Sheet.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable to open/edit project in project professional form PWA(project server 2010)

i have been working perfectly and opening my projects with project professional from PWA
All of a sudden,i get this error: no permission to read enterprise global file when trying to edit my projects in project professional from the PWA
i have also tried opening the project from project professional directly and it says (you do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action)
please what is the cause of this issue and what can i do to resolve it?

Hello kehinde,
The cause of this problem is somebody changed something.
To resolve, I would clear out the cache to see if that resolves anything.
Then, I would reboot system and see if that resolves.
If still no go, then I would look into security settings, and start doing some detective work. I keep a version of project server in a separate instance, that is completely out of the box, so I can have a reference point for settings.
If still not solution, then I would resave the global file settings.
Cheers!

it happens even if I start a project with project professional.
I'm the admin user.
what's the problem?
Thanks.

CU means cumulative updates, which are intermediate bug fix packages between SP. The latest CU for Project 2013 was release on September 12th. See reference

Can you try to reproduce the bug with

Issues on Copying the Project without Project Stock Checked

Hi,
When I copy the operative project (with project stock unchecked and components assigned to the activity in this project) to create a new project, I checked the project stock in the master data of the new project. Although the new component assigned after the creation of the new porject is project stock, the component copied from the operative project is still not project stock.
Is there any walkaround or solution to make the copied component to become a project stock?
Thanks,
Ting

What was the item category of materials of the old project which you used to copy?

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/

OTL with Projects and Payroll Integration - Actual Costing

How does the costing work when we have the OTL integrated with Projects and Payroll? (R12.2.4 functionality - Actual Costing)

As explosion process is based on elements, it only applies to payroll. You can use this functionality with Projects and Payroll Timecard Layout, but project will get the non exploded hours.

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

How do I create a NetBeans project with multiple JavaFX (FXML) dialogs?

I'm very new to Java and JavaFX, so forgive what is probably a question asked a thousand times, but I can't seem to find the answer.
I come from a Visual Studio (C# with WPF) background. I'm used to creating a Solution then adding a Project for each dialog/window that gets included in the Solution. Each dialog/window is a class derived from Window, and I simply create an instance of that class when I need to use the dialog.
What I need to do is have a main window (stage) that contains two lists of participants (a red team and a blue team).
Then I need a separate dialog for entering the information for the participant. So when a button on the main stage is pressed ("Add Red Participant"), I want to open the ParticipantDialog. When the "OK" or "Close" button on the Participant dialog is clicked, I want the dialog to be able to return a participant object to the main stage.
Then the main stage adds that participant to the appropriate list.
What I've gathered so far is that I will be creating an FXML file for the Participant dialog (and I assume an associated controller). Then when the "Add" button is pressed, I will call an FXMLLoader to load that FXML dialog. Something like this:
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("ParticipantDialog.fxml"));
Scene scene = (Scene)fxmlLoader.load();
final Stage participantDialog = new Stage();
participantDialog.setScene(scene);
First question is: is that correct so far? Am I at least on the right track?
Next question is: how or where do I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans? Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over, or is there a way to make the files within the parent project? And if I make the participant dialog in a separate project, what's the easiest way to access it from my main stage?
I feel like I'm missing something simple here because this seems a lot harder than it should be.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

> is that correct so far?
Yes the sample code you have is fine to launch a new dialog when your Add button is pressed .
> I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans?
You can edit FXML text in NetBeans, but I think that is kind of tedious.
You might want to create the FXML using SceneBuilder.
You can use SceneBuilder in NetBeans.
You may want to get it working without FXML first.
For example, use the JavaFX scene graph API, then convert your program to use FXML once you are more comfortable with the JavaFX system.
The piecemeal approach cuts down on the amount of learning you need to do at one time.
> Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over.
No.
Just use a single NetBeans project.
You will have separate FXML files for your main stage and your participant dialog, but they will both be placed in the same NetBeans project.
> is there a way to make the files within the parent project?
In NetBeans 7.3.1, do the following:
File | New Project | JavaFX | JavaFX FXML Application
This will create a sample project with a sample fxml file.
Modify the sample project files to get what you want, changing the sample fxml to your main stage fxml and adding a new participant fxml to the same directory.

How do I use iCloud to collaborate on a GarageBand project with a remotely located musician?

How do I use iCloud to collaborate on a GarageBand project with a remotely located musician? He is in Valencia, Spain, I am in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We'd like to be able to work on the same GarageBand document together, laying down tracks, etc.
Is there a tutorial I should look at?

Are you using GarageBand on a Mac or on an iPad?
With iCloud you can store your GarageBand projects in iCloud, so you can work on the same project on all your iPads, iPods, iPhones, and transfer it from your iDevices to your Mac. But you cannot use iCloud to share a project between people with different AppleIDs.
To send GarageBand projects back and forth, compress the the ":band" files and mail them, if they are small enough or put them in a Dropbox or other cloud storage and mail the link.
