Schedule Project using Project Template, cProjects 4.0

Hi All,
I have a requirement of Scheduling a Project using a Project template. This template will be loaded with the duration for phases & tasks, along with the task-task relations.
When i choose this template & create a Project, the earliest & latest dates appear automatically. But i need to select it manually in order to make it appear in actual dates. Is there any work around available to make it happen automatically?? This feature is not available in standard feature but any hints on going for custom based modifications??
Helpful answers will definitely be Rewarded!!!
Regards,
Sujay G

Hi
Iam unaware of the scenario why you wanted to schedule a Template in cProject. As per design Template is to facilitate the standardisation of project structure and creation of operative project in less time. By default Schedule Button is disabled in Template structure.
If you wish to see the schedule in a template, I can suggest you to create a simulation version directly from Version Tab Page. Simulation supports entire functionality of an operative project and essentially the scheduling as you desired. The project Number series is also different than operative project.
Once simulation is satisfactory, you can copy simulation to an operative project. Operative project can be used as a reference to create template.
Iam sorry if your scenario is different than this
warm regards,
Ramakrishna

  • Get project description of project template in cProjects

    hi,
    1. first a general question: where are project descriptions stord (which db)? the table DPR_PROJECT doesn´t contain the project description
    2. is there a chance to get the project description (String) from a project template? where are these templatetexts stored?

    Hi Thorsten,
    try this: on the cProjects initial screen in the Templates initial view on the Create tab page.
    - Choose the template type you want to create from the dropdown box above the Create tab page.
    - Enter a number for the new template.
    - Choose Project Template or Checklist Template from the Template dropdown box.
    - Enter the number of the project or checklist template you want to use as a template under Copy Template.

  • Project Template Creation in CProjects

    Hi,
    This is regarding project template creation for CProjects.
    I am now using the following BAPIs but not getting the templates created.
    1. For project definition creation: BAPI_BUS2172_CREATE
    2. For template creation: BAPI_BUS2170_CREATE
    I am getting the project definition created but not the template created.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    You can get this done in the IMG under the 'spro' transaction. In Collaboration projects, get to create the role type and specify the project types (Regular, Program etc.) where this role type would be applicable.
    Hope this helps...

  • VS, ODT and using "Oracle Project"-template requires Policy Management

    HI,
    I installed the ODT 11.1.0.6.20 and tried to create a new project using the "Oracle Project" but received the following error message: "The project <ProjectName> requires Policy Management. Open this project in Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Developer or Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architect."
    I have tried this using VS 2008 Professional and Team Edition. The operating systems is Vista x64 Ultimate.
    Oracle documentation doesn't mention any specific VS version so this is perhaps something else. Is there a workaround or fix to get around this?
    TIA,
    Kari

    OK, I'll give it a try. This suggestion makes perfect sense. I have used that template to create a project before, but noticed that it doesn't contain a windows form by default and so I assumed that it was a build for a n-tier application database access class, which is not necessarily what I want, and so I abandoned the effort. I know I can add a window form. I appreciate the response and will post back my results.
    Is there an example project somewhere that I could download and have a look at?
    Thanks again for your reply, even though you didn't reply to me. I think you resolved my problem! :-)

  • Using aggregator, project template and master slides

    I have been hired to create an online course on project management using Captivate. The organisation has colour coded 5 areas of the project cycle. I have never used Captivate, but I was wondering if the following is on the right track and if there are any issues I would need to be aware of. I thought I would create a project template; create a separate module for each part of the project cycle (plus the introduction, conclusion and quiz) and use a different master slide for each module to use their colours; then aggregate. It will be published as SCORM to be uploaded into the learning management system in Sharepoint. Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Sounds like a good plan to me.  You might also consider using the diagram (if there is one) of the project process on the title slide of each module to help orient the learner as to which part is now being discussed.
    One point though: If your LMS is using SCORM to track the learner's interaction with the course, don't use Aggregator to bundle the movies.  Use the Multi-SCO SCORM Packager instead.
    Aggregator is fine for bundling courses that are just going to be delivered to end users rather than tracked.

  • Mixing a playlist in Garage Band - which "new project" template should I use?

    If I use "podcast" it gives me some unnecessary options, such as male/female track.
    If I just want to mix some tracks from a playlist in itunes, which new project template should I use?
    Thank you.

    Hello Jerry,
    to insert something right into the middle of a mix I like to use the Arrangement Track:
         Track -> Show Arrangement Track (or Shift-⌘-A)
    By clicking the "+" you can mark sections of your arrangement and adjust the size of the sections by dragging the ends. In this example I marked two sections "Part 1" and "Part 2", and a third section "insert" to be inserted right in the middle between my first sections. You then can drag the "insert" section in the arrangement track between the other two parts, and all tracks with all Automations will move along.
    This is very convenient, if you have several tracks with automations added. If you only have one track without any automations it might suffice to simply select the regions behind the insertion point and to shift them to the right to be able to insert the missing region.
    Good Luck

  • Extending duration of project (template used)

    I’m very inexperienced with Motion. Am using the template “Blocks-Detail” and I've only changed the text and photo. The default duration shows "900".
    The tumbling blocks effect is too quick – it’s all over in about 3 secs. I need it to last at least twice as long. I’ve tried altering the Duration in the Timing Tab to 1800 but I get the same original effect speed. Did the same in the duration window in the lower right hand corner of my canvas but with no success. I dragged/extended the contents of the timeline to the right, but I made a real mess. Using Final Cut Studio V1, Motion V2.1, Leopard 10.5.2.
    I realize I can modify the speed in FCP, but I prefer to alter the speed in Motion itself.
    Any help appreciated.

    hi,
    you'll need to drill down the layers in the template to find the blocks that are falling. The animation will either be keyframed or will have a behaviour applied. Often if you drag the layers out to fit your new duration the animations or behaviours dont follow so you just need to drag them out also. Turn the timeline pane on for a clear view of how all the layers a spaced out, and make sure you have the show filters and keyframes button toggled on. The good news is you'll have a much deeper understanding of Motion when you've figured this all out.

  • Project Templates with Enterprise Resources

    I'm using Project Server 2013 ( latets updates installed for both Client and Server)
    I've created a project template and attached this to a project type. My template has enterprise resources speciified. So far so good.
    Now I'm trying to create a project using this template and I'm getting some errors.  (See below)
    As soon as I remove the resources from my template the project creates fine.
    It looks like 'rsResourceCannotAddLocalWithSameNameAsEnterprise'  in the error below means that Project Server looks at the resource in the template and considers the resources in the template always to be a local resources. And of
    course the resource already exists in my enterprise resources and therefore the project creation fails.
    Datasets:
    ProjectDataSet
    Table ProjectResource
    Row:  RES_UID='0bb2c5b5-1716-e311-a1c1-005056992257' PROJ_UID='3121855b-f13b-e311-9f7f-005056991b52'

    3a21855b-f13b-e311-9f7f-005056991b52.
    My questions are:
    Are Enterprise Resources in templates supported?
    Is there a way around this? We're trying to make it easy to select a subset of the enterprise resources available.

    I have experienced this exact same thing and my situation is highly irregular. 
    This is with Project Server 2013.
    I had an EPT with a Project Schedule that had Generic Enterprise Resources assigned and was able to create new projects without problems using the EPT from the New button in the Project Centre in PWA.
    I was creating new projects to test and demonstrate Portfolio Analysis and was able to model Organisational Capacity represented by my Generic Resources and also the Surplus/Deficit element of Resource Constraints on a Portfolio. The Hired Resource Report
    was failing.
    A Service Pack and Cumulative update were applied to the Server and now I cannot create new projects using EPTs that have a project schedule with Generic Enterprise Resources assigned to tasks in the schedule.
    I checked the error message for the Failed and Blocking job in the queue and the GUIDs were for my Generic Enterprise Resources. I deleted the offending Generic Enterprise Resources and then re-created them anew, edited the Project Template to have
    these Generic Enterprise Resources on the Project Team and randomly assigned them to tasks in the schedule to generate a notional demand for work in the Project Template. I then Saved the Template in Project as a new Project Template and edited my EPT
    to reference this new Project Schedule. 
    Same error encountered again.
    Perversely I can open the Template schedule in Project Professional and do Save As and save it as a new project to the Server and that works just fine - the schedule is visible in the Project Centre and I can edit the schedule in both Project Pro and in
    PWA.
    My hunch is that the Cumulative Update and Service Pack which were applied to try and resolve the failing "Hired Resources Report" in Portfolio Analysis, which sadly it didn't resolve - has probably provoked this interesting challenge as it is
    the only material thing to change on the Server during the time that this issue has manifested itself.
    Am I the only one to encounter this?

  • Project Template is not in the selection list while creating the Project

    Hello
    We have created a template for a project type in cProjects. When i try to create a project by copying the template and choose "Template Type" as 'Project Template' and 'Project Type' then in the field of 'Template' i cannot see the templates which are created for the selected project type.
    what could be the reason?
    thanks in advance
    Ashish K

    Hi
    1. While creating the template, you should maintain the project type for which this template would be used. I believe you would have done this.
    2. The template has to be released. only after this, it can be used as a template to create projects.

  • Error while saving project in cProjects

    Hello,
    I am getting following error while saving a project in cProjects-
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
    Details of the error are given below-
    Can somebody please help me resolve this error?
    Thanks and regards,
    Milind Dumbre
    Error analysis
         An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
         The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
          caught in    procedure "FINALIZE_OBJECT_BEFORE_SAVE" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a
         RAISING clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
        access a component (variable: "LR_CALC").
        An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
        before it can be used to access components.
        Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
        CLEAR statement.

    Hi Milind,
    You may check the settings by navigating to the following path
    IMG --> Collaboration Projects --> Connection to external systems --> Accounting Integration
    -->  Define Object Links for Accounting Integration.
    Check if the RFC destination has been correctly maintained. You may check the correctness of the RFC settings via SM59.
    Let me know if  this helps.

  • I know how to create a PROJECT template, but is there a way to create SLIDE templates?

    Basically I've got several modules, and throughout all the modules is several different pages (text&graphic page, hot graphic page, tab page etc etc).
    What I would love to do is create a set template for each page type (a template for text&graphic, a template for tab page etc) as I have numerous instances of the same pages throughout all the modules (and also for continuity as well).
    It would be great to create placeholders for slide templates just like the application in project templates, and then be able to drop these slides into different projects to have the same foundation to start adding data.
    Project templates is a good start, but only if i want to use the same template throughout the entire module.
    Any one know how to do this?
    Thank yo
    Rich.

    If you're using Cp5/5.5 you can create multiple master slides to them apply to the applicable slides (I don't remember if it was in Cp4).
    Master slides are portable, also, you can copy all the elements and paste them onto new slides in the same project or a different project.
    Insert > Master Slide
    Which should create a new blank slide in the Master Slide panel.  You add items to the slide like backgrounds, captions, rollover captions, highlights, shapes, animations (buttons/click boxes are not allowed).  You use the timeline as you would with a 'normal' slide, but you can't adjust the length of the master slide (this doesn't impact the length of a 'normal' slide).
    On your content slides you select the master slide in the Properties panel, general, master slide dropdown.

    Hi
    I am getting the below error while importing MS project into cProject.
    Error occurred when importing from Microsoft Project
    Message no. DPR_UI_BSP116
    Diagnosis
    When a project is imported from Microsoft Project, the system generates an XML string during internal processing. A project is then created in cProjects from this string.
    The XML string contains errors because the values from Microsoft Project were transferred without verification.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Notify SAP or call the cProjects application with the "DebugMode=X" query string and carry out the import again.
    The XML string that was generated temporarily is then validated against the cProjects XML schema. The error message from the XML parser is then displayed in the popup.
    Kindly suggest, if the below steps for importing MS project is ok or not?
    step 1: Create project in MS project with tasks.
    step 2: Maintain maping fields of MSP in cProject configurat
    step 3: Import MPP file into cProject using "Import" button.
    step 4: I am getting the above error while importing the MPP file.

  • Problem while creating a new project template

    I am trying to create a new project template under one operating unit newly created.
    I am using P A Super User responsibility for that operating unit.
    In profile setting the above responsibility has been assigned the new operating unit under Mo operating unit profile.
    Now when I go to Setup>>Projects>>Project Templates and click on New, the form to create new Project template opens up but in the field where I have to select the operating unit, it shows no values in the LOV.
    Can anyone please help me to know what setting do I have to perform so that I can select the operating unit in this new Template creation Form.
    Regards
    Hawker Hunter

    Dear Mr. Govind,
    we have followed all the Project Implementation Setup for the new operating unit except for the Implementation options which we have to fill up for each operating unit.
    In the implementation Options form in the first tab 'System' there are many fields to be filled up.
    For 'Summarization period Type' we choose 'G L Period' and based on this the fields 'Calendar Name' and 'P A Period Type' automatically gets populated.
    But in our case the 'P A Period Type' is not getting populated.
    Can you let me know where we can link the 'P A Period Type' to the chosen 'Calendar name'?
    Also there is a check box - 'Maintain common PA and GL Periods'. If we tick this check box, a message says: 'The Period Type and Calendar of the PA Period does not match the Period type and Calendar of the corresponding GL Period.'
    Can you please let me know where to create the PA Period based on the corresponding GL periods?
