Question

I want to pull a specific report. either from the p6 tool reporting or directly from the database.
Using Primavera p6 version 7.
All the Role names and capacity / demand time for each role over a timespan where the role is assigned to an activity, and the activity project, grouped by project.
Can someone help ?
thanks for any help

Answer 1

I check TRSRCSUM and it appears that the spread data is saved in a field called spread_data. It appears to be some type of pipe delimited data.
At this point if I had this problem, I would use the spread services -- ReadPorjectRoleSpread operation via either the integration or web services to get role spread information.
To use the raw information in the TRSRCSUM, you will need to figure out how to the spread the total_qty based on your selected window of dates against each of the assignments for activities that falls within you requested window.
I took a crack at a simple spread based on calculating a multiplier for the target_qty base on the number of days within a given requested selection window for each of the assignments that fall within the window.
Best guess, not sure it is completely correct and not pretty (the target window is in year 2009 because my P6V7 database is an old PUBDB demo database).
So in this example, I am looking for a 19 day window for roles on activities that fall in that window and then using the calculated multiplier to scale the total_qty base for the given window.
Again not sure if this is completely correct and I would recommend using the API spread service which will give you the correct answer but it was an interesting problem to look at.
