Resource Loading in P6 V.8

Hi
Is there any way to load the resources in WBS level and will be distributed to the activities based duration?

Use functionality Top Down Estimation. from Tools-- Top Down Estimation.
Thanks,

Problem installing Circuit Design Suite - "Error while initializing resource loader"

I am attempting to install v 10.0.1 of the Circuit Design Suite (Education and Student Edition). Immediately after starting the install process I get the message "Error while initializing Resource Loader!" and the installer exits. My computer meets the minimum system requirements (512 MB RAM, 20 GB free hard drive space, Windows XP, etc).
Any suggestions for how to work around this problem so I can get Multisim installed?

Hi John,
I'm not sure if you still have issues with the Multisim installer. But just in case here are some comments:
Are you using a CD to install Multisim? If yes, try copying the installer to your hard drive.
Try installing Multisim on a different machine.
Apparently the Resource Loader is related to Java, try un-reinstalling it, upgrading to the latest release, etc.
Let us know how it works,

Advanced Applet Resource Loading

Hi All,
Java 6 Resource loading works as follows with a remote resource:
* First tries to locate the resource as a system resource; then, if not found,
* Searches through the resources in archives (JAR files) already loaded in this CODEBASE; then, if not found,
* Uses CODEBASE and attempts to locate the resource (which may involve contacting a remote site).
Due to size issues of multimedia image and sound files resources need to be cached, and at the same time depending on the Applet connection speed this can be a time consuming process taking several minutes, which is an unacceptable option. I am looking for a more elequent solution than my current one which goes as following:
1. Create fully signed and indexed Jar files.
2. Start a custom classloader Applet that will attempt to launch the current task that will playback multimedia (audio, images, video). Since each Jar file is large, and contains multiple multimedia files, and the download time is long if a particular resource cannot be located in the classpath, the assumption is it is because the Jar file is downloading and has not completed, therefore to get the user moving we will make an HTTPURLConnection request to the web server for each JAR's index list, and then we download the resource directly from a web server Jar URL.
This solution will require custom caching and a bunch of other issues like versioning, and such. Any better ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

I have tried both options. Configuring the proxies didn't help. Make it to use no proxy didn't help either.
I have posted this problem before, but no one answered.
I use JWS 1.0.1.
If I don't specify proxies, the loading screen just loops. If i do, an error come up saying bad mime type returned by the server. Which is non-sense, since otherwise JWS wouldn't launch at all!

Kodo class/resource loading approach will be a problem in managed environment.

Hello,
Kodo does not work with Apache Tomcat 3 and 4 unless Kodo jars and my
persistent classes loaded by the same class loader. Kodo uses
Class.forName() and class.getResources() on class loader which loaded Kodo
classes thus it is not able to find system.prefs or package.jdo (and even if
it was able to find system.prefs how would it handle multiple system.prefs
from multiple contexts each managed by its own class loader?)
The problem as I see it is that web containers usually have container
classloader(s) and a class loader per web context. Desired configuration
would be to share Kodo classes among all contexts and implement jndi factory
to provide PersistentManagerFactory lookup in each web container
environment. According to Tomcat specs I placed Kodo jars in
$tomcat_home/lib (class loader shared among all contexts) and deployed my
persistent classes along with system.prefs and *.jdo files to my context
WEB-INF/lib directory. As a result Kodo would not find system.prefs resource
and eventually fail with error - required resource db/url could not be
loaded. I tried to place Kodo jars into together with my persistent classes
in WEB-INF/lib it did not help (this was really strange since all classes
should have been loaded by the same context class loader) The only
configuration that works is when I put Kodo and my persistent classes in
tomcat's common directory or on system class path. Which is of course not a
right way to go as context specific classes such as my persistent classes
should be shared
Without source code it is hard to figure out what is going on and how
resources get loaded, so could somebody look into it. It is quite important
for us to resolve this issue as we are planning to use Kodo with tomcat.
Also I am not sure that system.prefs is a good idea. As I mentioned when
integrated with appserver/web container environment jndi it is up to jndi
factory to create and configure PersistentManagerFactories. Different
PersistentManagerFactories will be bound to different jndi names often in
different contexts under common or separate class loaders and they should
not be in my opinion dependent on common system.prefs
I would greatly appreciate your suggestion on proper use of Kodo in web
container environment
Thank you very much in advance
Alex Roytman

I want to add that even if we put both Kodo jars and persistent classes jar
in WEB-INF/lib to be loaded by context class loader it does not work due to
following piece of code in Prefs.java:
private static synchronized void loadSystem() {
try {
Enumeration enumeration =
(com.techtrader.util.app.Prefs.class).getClassLoader().getResources("system.
prefs");
Object obj = null;
Object obj1 = null;
InputStream inputstream;
for (; enumeration.hasMoreElements(); inputstream.close()) {
URL url = (URL)enumeration.nextElement();
inputstream = url.openStream();
_cache.parse(inputstream, url.toString(), "");
catch (Exception exception) {
throw new ParseException(exception);
however if we replace it with following it will work:
private static synchronized void loadSystem() {
try {
Object obj = null;
Object obj1 = null;
URL url =
(com.techtrader.util.app.Prefs.class).getClassLoader().getResource("system.p
refs");
InputStream inputstream = url.openStream();
_cache.parse(inputstream, url.toString(), "");
inputstream.close();
catch (Exception exception) {
throw new ParseException(exception);

MS Project Professional 2007 resource loaded .mpp file published to EPM server but resources can't see their tasks in PWA

Hi all:
I'm using MS Project Professional 2007 and I created the schedule as an .mpp file and assigned resources before I loaded the schedule to the EPM server. I created the resource names consistently with the names in the Enterprise resource pool and when I go into
tools / assign resources and filter on enterprise resources, I see the resources I assigned to my project associated with the correct tasks. The only problem is that when these resources go into PWA, they can't see their assigned tasks even after I save and
publish the project. If I create a new resource assignment while I am connected to the server, then the resource can see the new assignment, but I don't want to have to completely recreate the project assignments to remedy this situation. Can anyone tell me
another way to fix it so that resources begin to see their assignments in PWA and can enter their time there?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hey Dale. Published = Yes on all tasks. That's not it.
But you definitely hit the mark on Assignment Owner. That must be where the problem is. When I read that I remembered that when I go into PWA all the project tasks show up under My Tasks, which seemed wrong to me and I asked the administrator
about that. he told me it was because I was the project owner. Now I know that was not a correct response on his part and I'll point it out to him.
I did check the Resources and Assignment Owner was blank. I tried to set it to be the Resource and it's a locked field. I can't do it. It doesn't surprise me that this field is locked because I suspect the administrator controls the
Enterprise Resource pool. But what does it tell you that this field is blank. Since I'm getting the tasks in my My Task list, I expected to find my name there.
Anything else I should check?
Anything I should tell the admin about how to make the Resources the owners of their own tasks. I assume that should be the default. That can be corrected just as easily in the Resource Sheet View as in the Resource Usage view, I assume
-- is that correct?
Thanks again for helping me figure out what the problem is.

TPVS - Minimum resource load constraint

Hi Friends,
We are in APO 4.1 version and TPVS optimizer is being used to consolidate/schedule shipments . We have two kind of vehicle resources assigned to Transportation lane via MOT. They are Vehicle type -A with maximum capacity 10 Tons and Vehicle type-B with 30 Tons maximum capacity . Our business expects whenever sum of fright units weight comes less than or equal to 10 Tons on given route/Zone customers , then optimizer should load those shipmetss only into Vehicle type-A or Vehicle type -B should get loaded only when total shipment weight exceeds 10 Tons . I am aware optimizer works purely based total cost optimisation by meeting all constraints defined.
My question : Is there any possibility to define minimum weight constraint for vehicle in TPVS or any options. (Have explored compatibility some extend, but it couldnu2019t help me)
Thanks
Rajesh K

Hi Rajesh,
The requirement is to load 10 tns on MOT A and above 10 tns on MOT B.
There is something in cost profile called "Cost functions and Load cost" tab.
Define Load cost like the below:
10 MOT-A 0 to 10 Tons less cost
> 10 Tns very high cost
20 MOT-B 0 to 10 Tons Very high cost
> 10 tns less cost
As it is cost based optimization, Optimizer always selects less cost solution.
Hope ur requirement will be met addressed.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh

Bizzare resource loading problem

I'm working with an API that utilizes a Java to COM bridge. During the execution of the API methods a Windows DLL is loaded and used. I have written a test program that calls one of the APIs methods without an exception.
So what does this have to do with Swing? Everything works fine until I port my code into a Swing application. Then after the UIManager.setLookAndFeel() call when I call my API method again I get an exception from the COM object that a necessary DLL cannot be found. I have a suspicion that this has something to do with the class loader. Any ideas would be appreciated. Here's a code snippit to help you understand the order of things:
    QBXMLTest qbtest = new QBXMLTest();
    System.out.println(qbtest.getClass().getClassLoader());
    qbtest.go();
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    QBXMLTest qbtest2 = new QBXMLTest();
    System.out.println(qbtest2.getClass().getClassLoader());
    qbtest2.go();Thanks,
Jack

Hi,
do the following
InputStream in = Mainclass.class.getResourceAsStream("filename");
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(in);
int i = -1;
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
while((i = din.read(data)) != -1)
   bos.write(data, 0, i);
bos.flush();
din.close();
data = bos.toByteArray();

Browser-side resources loading control

Hi there, right now we have a problem when writing SWF
Catcher for the browser.
When a SWF movie loads external data, plugin has to call the
following browser functions:
NPN_GetURL/NPN_GetURLNotify/NPN_PostURL/NPN_PostURLNotify. However,
when using FLVPlayback component, FLV files are loaded by the
plugin directly bypassing browser's security and not calling the
required functions. Can this be overcome anyhow?
Why does the plugin ignore calling these functions when
working with FLV files?

If you're on a 64-bit OS, OCX files must be in the folder: %windir% \ SysWOW64
and not in %windir% \ System32 (only for 32 bits OS)
>> %windir% is the environment variable that defines the Windows folder! (eg: C:\Windows)
French version:
Si tu es sur un OS en 64 bits, les fichiers .ocx doivent se trouver dans le dossier : %windir%\SysWOW64\
et non pas dans %windir%\System32
>> %windir% étant bien sur la variable d'environnement qui défini le dossier de Windows ! (par ex: C:\Windows)

Problem in resource loading from a JAR file

My application requires to read a data file using single read operation. The size of the file is 42K. The datafile is packaged inside the jar file with the class files. The piece of code I used is as follows:
InputStream in = Mainclass.class.getResourceAsStream("filename");
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(in);
int i = in.available();
System.out.println(i);
byte data[] = new byte[in.available()];
din.readFully(data);
din.close();
But my program reads only one byte not the total file content. I traced and saw that
available() methods retirns 1 instead of 42000.
Can anybody tell me how can I do that?
thanks,

Resource / Cost Loading Schedule

I am seeking some ideas about Resource Loading and Cost Loading schedules in P6.
My Resources are the subcontractors on the project. Each Subcontractor is the Resource for series of activities. The Resource Type is "Labor" and we plug Labor Units for each activity to run the "Activity Usage Profile". The unit price is $1 to avoid the warnings in the "Project Integrity Report" but not to track cost.
I need to load the schedule with "Labor" cost and "Material" cost. I assigned two more resources to every activity:
1. "Labor Cost" with "Nonlabor" resource type.
2. “Material Cost” with “Material” Resource type.
The reason why the “Labor Cost” resource is nonlabor is because I don't want P6 to add labor units for both resources (Labor Units for subcontractor and Labor Units for Labor cost)
Is there a better way to load your schedule with labor units, labor cost and material cost?
Thanks,
Fouad

You are doing right but needs a bit correction.
Total Cost = Labor + Non Labor + Material + Expenses
Earned Value Calculations are based on Total Cost and not a specific type of cost.
I suggest using Price / Unit for labor = 0 and not 1 that means labor resources will not take part in cost for Earned Value Management.

Loading multiple resources

Hi, I am starting to do things with AS3, and I found that all
the resource loads through urlRequest, urlLoader and others like
that are asynchronous, that is, the flow of the applications
continues after a resource load request.
I have a case in which I have to load a group of resources
before entering into a different section of the application, and I
don't want to hardcode the load complete events for every single
resource I load.
Is there a way in AS3 to do something like this?
.LoadResource("hello.gif");
.LoadResource("table.xml");
.LoadResource("howareyou.gif");
.LoadResource("bye.gif");
.LoadResource("story.txt");
.WaitForMultipleObjects();

Not so difficult to write a class to do this...

Loading file from jar in webstart 1.5.0_16

Hello all,
We have recently updated form 1.5.0_15 to 1.5.0_16. Since the update, our application is bombing when it attempts to read an xml file from a jar in cache.
JDOModin.xml.XMLFileReaderError in building: C:\Documents and Settings\dave.frank\Desktop\jar:lookups\version.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: C:\Documents and Settings\dave.frank\Desktop\jar:lookups\version.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
     at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:306)
     at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:617)
     at odin.xml.XMLFileReader.readFile(XMLFileReader.java:53)
     at odin.xml.XMLFileReader.<init>(XMLFileReader.java:40)
Clearly the path to the jar file is incorrect.
The url is retrieved like this:
private URL getURL(String filePath)
        URL url = getClass().getResource(filePath); // relative path "/lookups/version.xml"
        return url;
} This worked fine in the previous version. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Andrew,
We are having huge problems fixing this, and have spent quite a while searching the forums for info about it. The closest I've got is two posts where you mention that there are other posts. I can't find them.... Bloody annoying that Sun hasn't updated the webstart FAQ to tell people how to get around this very annoying problem.
By the way, if you google 1.5.0_16, your post comes up as the second hit.
Any pointers to threads that offer solutions to resource loading from Jars (images, auth.conf etc) when using webstart, now that it's broken in 1.5.0_16??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Craig

Rough cut planning in SOP for resource levelling

Hello,
I am trying rough cut planning in SOP.
I have created rough cut planning profile for a product group by using MC35.
The task list exits for the product group.
In task list , work centre is maintained and the same is given while creating the rough cut profile.
This product group contains some part number.
When I try Views--->capacity situation -> rough cut planning--->show.
System gives error that -
> No resource load found.
<u><b>Diagnosis given by system is as follows,</b></u>
This situation may be caused by one or more of the following:
     No PP task list (rough-cut planning profile, rate routing, or routing) corresponding to the Customizing selection criteria has been defined for this material/product group at this scheduling level.
     Resources planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
     The information structure which you are planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
System Response
No capacity load could be determined.
Procedure
1. Check that a PP task list exists for this material/product group.
2. Check that a lot size range has been maintained in the PP task list.
3. Have your systems administrator check and, if necessary, change the resources planning settings in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (the steps "Scheduling levels" and "Routing selection").
4. Have your systems administrator check that capacity planning has been defined for this information structure in Customizing.
Please let me know how to maintain the resource planning settings for scheduling level and routing selection.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Ravindra Deokule

Hi Ravindra,
You can use t.code mc84 to create a product group.
Pl follow the following steps to do SOP with product group.
1. Create a Product group in tcode MC84.
Enter a percentage for material say X & Y to be produced. X 40% & Y 60%. Total qty will be split in the ratio as per the %.
2. Create Production Plan in tcode MC81.
Enter the sales plan qty.
Then goto menu,edit & choose create Prodn Plan synchronus to sales.
3. Create Rough cut Planning Profile in tcode MC35.
4. Enter the Status ,Usage & lot size.
5. Choose resources tab & then choose work center & enter work center name which you consider as a bottle neck & then enter the unit of measure as 'min'.
6. Use MC82,
Choose inactive version and select your version.
then goto menu->views> capacity situation>show
7.Check for over loads & adjust your qty acordingly.once the load becomes 100 % save.
8. Change the inactive version to Active version in tcode MC78.
ie in the version enter the inactive version & in the target version enter'A00'
9.In mc82 choose active version, you can see that the plan is activated now.
10.In the menu choose extras & transfer to demand mgmnt.
11.You can see the requirement in the md62 transaction.
12.Then run mrp.
Also regarding the unit of measure in t.code mc35,
If you select your resource as 'workcenter' & choose min or hour & then you enter 1(eg) in the first field against the work center. This means it takes 1 min or hour to produce 1pc(base quantity) in that particular workcenter(bottleneck workcenter)
Reg: Capacity calculation in mc87,follow the eg as above.Enter 1 min as time & base qty as 1 in mc35. Then check in mc87, you will get the load in %. ie if your work center is permitted to work for 8 hours/day & you pass a production plan of 480, then your load will match for 100%.

Senthilkumar
