RFP for a project management system

Hi,
I am asked to present points related to a project management system. CAn anyone advise on links which help me get all the data required to be asked as questions to the supplier about their project management system.
Thanks

Hello,
This should be driven from your internal requirements for the toolset. Not sure you will find anything helpful as nobody will know your requirements. Maybe you could reach out to a Microsoft PPM partner to help you understand your requirements and help build
your RFP. Maybe look for a PPM partner on Microsoft Pin Point and see if they can help you.

Flash Project Management System

I was wondering if there has been a UI built in flash for a
project management system. What Im looking for is an app where the
managers would drag and drop their resources into a timeline for
projects and they would be able to stretch resources along the
timeline for each project. It would basically look like a Gant
Chart, but with user interactivity. Just basically asking if this
has already been done, is there an example of the work I could see,
would this be a fairly easy project, or if am I wasting my time
here.

I'm not looking for a full blown project management system; more like an activity (to-do) list in a subject lookup hierarchy, possible with email reminders of what's coming due. (something like expand-collapse subject areas with text, date, name and status fields). I've done something similar in Visual Basic wtih an Access DB holding the information. It doesn't look so great but does the job.

Project Management System In Dreamweaver

I'm looking to create project management system in Dreamweaver; similar to MS Outlook, only with an enhanced task hierarchy and detail section.
Does anyone know of examples and / or books where I can see what I'm getting myself into? Even better, does Dreamweaver have a template for this? (I haven't purchased the software yet)
Thanks,,
Mike

EWA: error message in CRM check for SAP Solution Manager system

Hello!
In EWA report for SAP Solution Manager system I have seen error message: Many CSA* inbound queues in error status were detected in your system. As a result of this BDocs have not been delivered. And then table

and others.
I looked transaction smq2. There are 11300 queues in it. Is it actual error or it is a normal situation? And that must I do, to remove an error?
Edited by: Mariya Kurbatova on Jul 2, 2009 6:27 AM

Hi,
Usually problems with hanaging CSA* queues are caused because too many
indiviaual queues are created for the qRFC resources to handle. You can
limit the number of queues as described in note 763680.
Note 763680 would be useful if all of your qRFC resourcesa are in use
when you have a great number of queues. With a large number of dialog
WPs on the system it would probably make sense to reduce the amount
as described in the note.
the casue when you have this problem would be to check SMQR -> GOTO ->
qRFC resources. You can also see if most of your dailog WPs are in use
in SM50.
Also refer to note 758677.
Please schedule report RSQIWKEX (Inbound) to run as described in the
note.
And since your title has mentioned that the EWA is on your CRM satellite system; this maybe a further good reference too
When you replicate lots of data from CRM to R/3, there could be a qRFC
resource problem. In this case, the numebr of queues created can be
reduced by implementing the attached note 356228, particularly solution
2.
For CSA* queues is slightly different from the one decribed in note;
this is because the CSA queues exchange data within the CRM system.
The steps described should be followed, except that table SMOFQFIND
must be used instead of CRMQNAMES. In this table, fields TR_SNAEMS and
SEGM_FLD are equivalent to the CRMQNAMES fieds BAPISTRUCT and BAPIFLD
respectively. It should be possible to follow the solution 2 in the
note as long as you use SMOFQFIND instead of CRMQNAMES.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
SH

Using BC as a Project Management System

Hi Guys,
I'm new to business catalyst, I have signed up to the WebMarketing package and have created my first site. I am including several features to the site including a private forum and several forms for submitting data. I would also like to have a private area to manage projects between the members of the site. This would have task breakdowns, assigning particular tasks to different members and due dates with % completed data, ideally there should be a document system where the work can be saved and linked to on the task page. I just need some advice on whether or not this is possible using business catalyst or if I need to use some external software.
Kind regards,
Mitchell Ransom

Since BC doesn't allow you to run server side code or access the data base directly, I can not see the way of doing it at BC end. That said, you can look at different project management solutions out there and perhaps customise it to match the look and feel of your BC site. I'm quite sure that redmine allows this. Check it out at http://www.redmine.org/. Depending on the level of customisation you require you may have to learn some Ruby on Rails.
Cheers,

I'm looking for a document management system

Hi there,
I'm looking for a way to organize, sort, and make searchable about 1200 Microsoft Word Documents. The way our company uses them is to search for individual documents, and also to group them to create customized packets that are used for training.
Once a group is created, I need a way to print easily. The other problem is that 60% of the documents are designed for learning so they have an instructors filled in part, and a learners blank part.
Question 1: Should I separate each document, make the instructor version a separate file? Today, it is one file, with page 1 for the instructor and page 2 for the learner (some docs have more than one page.
Question 2: Does anyone know of a web plugin or app that will take a collection of word documents, and automatically combine them into 1?
2 years ago, we created a php searchable system and uploaded all docs into it. It workds pretty well for organizing, searching, grouping, and adding comments about the docs... BUT when it comes time to print, it only downloads a folder filled with all the SEPARATE word files. They are numbered, but because they are not one doc, page numbering is a bear, and each doc has a instructor and learner page... for printing, the trainer needs to tell the office staff which page to print for each handout. the instructor copy or leaner copy. Once a master is made, we photocopy it. So the question: Is there an easier way to create 1 file with all the pages? Like convert to PDF or to a single MS Word document?
Any suggestions are welcome!
PS: while we are an all mac shop, we do have a dedicated webserver running linux that we could use.
PPS: I will have interns this summer, so if the solution involves converting all of our MS word docs into something else like pages, I'm all for it...

It sounds to me like DevonThink might just replace the php system that you already have.
One way to tackle this might be to look at automating the combining process, rather than changing the overall management system. Various thoughts:
If the docs were pdfs, a program like CombinePDFs would let you drag and drop all the files onto a screen, re-order them if necessary, and then hit Merge (actually, I think Preview would let you do this, in Leopard). That might help. However, I don't think it would put on page numbers.
I'm pretty sure Acrobat would let you combine the PDFs and add page numbers, or perhaps take the combined pdf file and just add page numbers to that. (Not sure if this might require Acrobat for Windows)
Alternatively, you could tweak the docs themselves so that they use a form of chapter numbering, eg: "PDF Introduction-1, PDF Introduction-2" and "PDF-Advanced-1, PDF-Advanced 2" and then not worry about the page numbers. I wouldn't exactly recommend this, as it's pretty useless to say "turn to page PDF-Intermediate 3" and have people find that page, but it's been done.
Since they are already Word docs, though, it might be best to stick with Word. Word 2008 has Automator and Applescript, and it should be possible to write an Automator or Applescript such you just drop the documents on an Automator app, and it combines them, adds or updates the page numbers, maybe creates a Table of Contents, and spits out an assembled document.
That said, I don't know how to do that. There is a Combine Word Documents automator action, certainly. You could try asking over in the Word forums:
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Word/
Or here's a macro that should work in Word 2004 (but not 2008)
http://www.gaebler.com/How-to-Combine-Multiple-Word-Documents-into-One-Document. htm
This will work best if all the docs are formatted consistently, based on the same template. If they are not consistently formatted, then the formatting will probably change when you combine them in Word, and that would be an argument for converting them to PDF before combining them. It should also be possible to create an Automator action that will convert all the docs in a folder to PDF.
I doubt there is going to be anyway to automate the instructor/learner copy--someone will have to do that manually, but it does suggest that if you create separate files for each one, it will be easier to do the search, download the found files from the resulting folder, and then manually just delete the learner file from the folder rather than having to open up the instructor file and delete part of it.
So, some potential experiments to try. Hope that helps.
Automator to convert the docs to PDF and then Acrobat to combine and number the pages might be your best bet.

Looking for a Project Management software package for macs

while I'm on the hunt for some good business software for my mac, I am also looking for a good project managment program, in the spirit of MS Project, but "Apple-ized".
Open to suggestions from somebody with experience.

My company has a web-based project productivity management software called ActiveFocus which works on any type of machine.
Check out the demo and let me know what you think: http://www.activefocus.net/AFDemo/AFLogin.aspx

Probably best to search for "project management" in the App Store, there are a tonne of Apps in there for this. Check out some of the ratings and reviews then you can make a reasonably informed decision.
Hope this helps?

Requirements for a document management system

We are planning to implement a document management system Oracle Application Server. Here are the high-level requirements:
· High availability (24x7)
· 3000 users, worldwide, on WAN
· 600 GB of documents
· Workflow
· Alerts e-mailed on document adds/updated, for workflow
· Search of document titles, properties, keywords, content
· Daily backup of new/updated documents
In regards to Oracle Application Server (Portal), can someone provide me the following information:
1. What Oracle AS server architecture would we need to handle the above requirements?
2. What is the Oracle recommended method of scaling up our current Oracle Portal instance in regard to:
a. Capacity
b. Achieving 24x7 availability
3. When documents are stored via an Item upload in Oracle Portal, are they stored in the database or as the actual file?
Thanks a lot,
Lpatnaik

Lot of this features are already implemented in Oracle Portal, Collaboration Suit and Oracle Content Management SDK.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/cm_sdk_9042.html
Generally this products stores documents in database BLOB field.
I personally don't like this approach.
We developed a media library that stores the files in filessystem, but the metadata is in database. The database references to the file in filesystem with a BFile field
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54873
The system is very fast so I think it was a good decision to store the media this way.
If you use this approach you have to create database and filessystem backup also.
Filessystem backup is much faster and there are several very good tools to make an incremental backup.
If you store media in a database you can use Oracle Media types:

Does anybody know if this is a B.P. for Project Management?
Any replies are welcome
Thanks a lot in advance.

I need good gui in swings for a library management system

i need good gui in swing. i need to develope a small application of library management system where a librarian and manager access the database. librarian take care of add,del,modify the records of customer and books. with good login screens. and the manager is to generate reports

Yup, create one. Good exercise.
Doing it myself right now, am loosing track of my own collection ;)
Don't have the multi-user part in place yet, it's no priority for me (I'll be creating a readonly web interface as an alternative to the read/write Swing interface for remote access).

Mock RFP for SUN network management tool, desperate 4 help, just need specs

OK, I have a project that in essence is a mock Request for Proposal (RFP), I play as an intern, & our instructor roleplays the manager we need to convince. The different network management tools that were available were for example; HP Openview, Cisco Works, Sniffer....& I of course chose SunNet. We need to gather information on the tool, then turn around & design a relatively simple network from the specs that were given, & finally discuss how the management tool's abilities could benefit the (mock) company...power point presentation & all.
Here it is from the homework sheet given to us...."These products will need to be useful in a 5000 node network that has four main locations that are primarily Ethernet. There is a legacy 100 nodes of Token Ring attached to a mainframe. Cisco or Foundry routers connect the Four main locations, with swiches employed. Other connections to these sites are done via DSL or ISDN. Additional considerations are wireless communications, VOIP & Content delivery systems.
I know this is a lot & I'm not asking for someone to do all this for me, just simply provide any information you know about Enterprise management tools 2.0 or 3.0,or anything you may feel better suits my needs, as the links I have surfed about them give little to nothing about specifics that I need to make any argument. If you have any links send them...if you have anyting in hard copy I will pay for postage... I need to get this done & have little time as I go to school & work full time at Motorola (but only as a contractor), so I'm starting to choke & need help....any u can give is so very appreciated....& sorry to make this request a publishable novel here on the board, but thats what it is. Thanks again......Mark

A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.
