Using Primavera P6 EPM

Hi
we are considering to setup a Primavera P6 EPM with web services. Which means all the project management acitivities need to be performed on the Internet/Intranet using browser.
Platform: Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Would like to know how to go about installation and configuration. What are the packages need to be installed?
Can I integrate with Windows 2003 Active Directory for login?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Saba

Kill a user session:
Note This works only if you're using a SQL backend. Not sure what the Oracle commands are.
From SQL console type the following:
select session_id from USESSION where delete_session_id is NULL and user_id = (select user_id from users where user_name = <enter user name here>);
Once you have the session ID, type the following:
Delete from UPKLIST where session_id = <enter session id number here>;
Delete from PROJSHAR where session_id = <enter session id number here>;
Delete from USESSION where session_id = <enter session id number here>;
Some (especially the top two) may reflect that 0 items were changed - that's ok. Just keep going with the commands one by one.

  • Document uploading using Primavera Web Service

    Hi,
    I am using Primavera P6 r8.2 and I have linked UCM with EPPM for document management in Primavera. I am tryng to add a document to a project from content repository using Primavera Web Services. WhenI am executing the process the document is created in Primavera from Content Repository, but I could not find how should I control the 'Security Policy' of the document with Web Service. By default the document is added to the project with the security polocy 'Personal'. Can anyone of you hellp me out?
    Thanks,
    Dip

    This worked for me:
    1) I put web service in transport request in SPRO -> CRM -> UI FRAMEWORK -> UI FRAMEWORK DEFINITION -> WEB SERVICES -> WEB SERVICES TOOL: TRANSPORT WEB SERVICE OBJECTS
    2) Then I transported this request.
    3) Then you have to wait a few minutes that the WEB service gets available. Then I went to WSCONFIG and choosed my WEB service and clicked on button NEW and then SAVE.

  • Copying app between different servers using CopyApp into EPM architectur

    Hi,
    I have Hyperion Planning System 9.3 EPM arch.
    I want to migrate from my dev server to another prod server.
    I have used the tool CopyApp without problems in Hyperion Planning System 9.3 not EPM.
    Anybody knows if there will be any problem using the tool CopyAPP in EPM arch., or if you have to do some another steps to can migrate with this tool???

    I am in the process of copying.
    There are some pre-requisties:
    Create DSN (planning server)
    Create basic planning app in planning using the DSN created
    Please make sure you use uppercase for everything before the = sign on copyapp.properties file.
    copyapp runs and creates the essbase cubes, rdbms tables.
    Also the log files says OLAP data is not copied (need to export/import),
    target application will not be registered with HSS nor have it's users provisioned.
    At this point I am thinking I need to refresh data in planning, register app in HSS and provision users -

  • Use Primavera on a domain

    I've installed P6 on my computer and it works well localy. I want to use it on a domain. I've restored the pmdb$primavera database on the server and want to connect from primavera to the sql on the server. In the database configoration form I fill the Host name as server[the name of the server] and the database name as pmdb$primavera, but I can't login by niether of pubuser nor server username and password.
    the following error occurs:
    Bad private user name or password. Check the public group ID. Database Server Error: Login failed for user 'privuser'. Reason: The password of the account must be changed.
    Please provide me your prompt response
    and best possible way on achieving this target.

    Sorry, for some reason I thought express still granted you access to OSQL.
    As you can login via OSQL it sounds as though the database is up, running, and accessible.
    As previously suggested, try running dbconfig.exe and selecting the following:
    -Administration Tasks (licenses, passwords, etc.)
    -Administer Private database logins
    -Project Management (your DB alias)
    -Provide the username and password for the privileged user account (privuser is the default)
    -Public Group Id should be "1" for a standard install. Private DB Username should be "privuser" by default. Delete **** from the Password field and replace with your password.
    If after doing this you are still receiving the same error I would recommend you try what is stated in the error, change the password and then reset the stored private database login using the above steps.

  • Primavera Web services does not work properly when I move the database.

    I am using primavera web services to integrate a winform application (using c#) with primavera. It was successful with my original database, but when I decided to move my database to another server ( It is a sql server 2005 database and I use backup/restore to move database to new server). I changed the database configuration for the webservices so that it refers to the new database on the new server.
    I used the following code to login to webservices:
                    AuthenticationService authService = new AuthenticationService( );
                    authService.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer( );
                    authService.Url = _P6wsAuthenticationService;
                    Login loginObj = new Login( );
                    loginObj.UserName = pv_Username;
                    loginObj.Password = pv_Password;
                    loginObj.DatabaseInstanceId = 1;
                    loginObj.DatabaseInstanceIdSpecified = true;
                    loginObj.VerboseFaults = true;
                    loginObj.VerboseFaultsSpecified = true;
                    LoginResponse loginReturn = authService.Login( loginObj );
                    cookieContainer = authService.CookieContainer;
                   ReadDatabaseInstancesResponseDatabaseInstance[] readdbInstances = authService.ReadDatabaseInstances("");
    the loginResponse for the new server is true and it shows the db properties correctly in readdbInstances. But when I try to read projects from database it returns nothing. It doesn't give me any error message just the response message is null.
    Could anybody help me with this issue?
    Thank you

  • BPC 10 Sheet Logic - Using SUMIFs

    Hi Gurus,
    This is a question relating to BPC's EPM excel add-in.
    I'm currently compiling a headcount report based on data entered into an input schedule where the user enters a 1 next to an employee who is employed per month, like so:
                                                                            JAN.2012         FEB.2012      MAR.2012      APR.2012
    Senior           John Smith                                        1                        1                   1                     1
    Junior            Jane Johnson                                   0                        1                   1                     1
    Senior           Anne Anderson                                1                        1                   1                     1
    Associate     Ken Clarke                                        1                         0                  0                     0
    The report I'm building adds together the total number of employees for a particular month, per grade (seniors, juniors, associates etc.).  So the above example would compute to:
                                                JAN.2012         FEB.2012      MAR.2012      APR.2012
    Senior                                        2                        2                   2                     2
    Junior                                         0                        1                   1                     1
    Associate                                  1                         0                  0                     0
    I'm using sheet logic to do this and planned on using a SUMIF equation (=SUMIF(GRADE COLUMN, ROW GRADE, MONTH RANGE) with the grade column range fixed, the row grade column fixed, but row unfixed and the month range row fixed, column unfixed.
    I expected to enter this formula in once and for it to auto populate the rest of the grades and the months.  I also need this as it is a dynamic report and the date range may change.  Unfortunately, when I enter in the formula, it calculates it as expected but it does not auto populate the rest of the figures.  If I drag it across it works ok, but this is not an acceptable solution.  When I do simpler equations (for example =B1+B2) it works absolutely fine.
    Does anyone know if there is any rules that prevent the use of SUMIFs or if there is a setting within the EPM that needs changing, or anything else?
    Best,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    When you reference a cell containing EPM formula, you will be able to do it once, when you refresh, you won't get the desired result.
    What version of SP do you have? I believe this has been resolved in SP06, so suggest you go to a higher version (SP06 or above), if not already.
    If already on SP06, try this -
    Go to User Options -> Functions (or Others) tab -> Select the "Use EPMMemberID in EPM formulas"
    Hope it helps!!

  • How to expose a Delegate feature of BPM workspace to oracle primavera

    Hi All,
    We have Oracle primavera which is getting used for Project portfolio management and we are using BPM workflows to manage it. All the Human task pages are designed on ADF which can be accessed directly from Oracle Primavera application by users.
    Now we want to implement a delegate feature of oracle BPM but as per my understanding that feature we can use through Oracle BPM workspace>> task actions list. But as all the tasks and UI's user is accessing using Primavera application hence is there any way that this delegate feature of oracle BPM workspace can be exposed to primavera application so that user can use this feature of BPM workspace in oracle primavera?
    Please help me whether this thing is possible or not and if yes then how to go about it.
    Thanks

  • HFM 11.1.2.2 in EPM 11.1.2.1 Environment

    Can HFM v11.1.2.2 be installed and used in an EPM v11.1.2.1 environment?
    My company recently upgraded to EPM v11.1.2.1 (Essbase) and is now looking at installing HFM.  However, they prefer the features of HFM v11.1.2.2, not HFM v11.1.2.1.
    Questions
    1) Does the entire EPM architecture need to be uplifted to v11.1.2.2 to support newer HFM?
    2) If so, is this a patching exercise?  Complete reinstall?  How complex?
    3) Does newer HFM version work in slightly older EPM architecture?  Supported by Oracle?
    Any guidance or comments would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Yes. The entire EPM system need to be upgraded to 11.1.2.2
    from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 is a Maintenance Release. that is when you run the EPM system installer you need to select " apply maintenance release"
    for information.

  • Issues in EPM Add-in after installing MS Updates

    Hi,
    We have acknowledged of BPC EPM add-in problems after some MS Office updates. What we know so far is that this error occurs on BPC 10 NW version and it was delivered an SAP Note (2107965) with resolution/workarounds. On our system we have BPC 10 MS version.
    What we would like to know is if this issue also occurs on Microsoft version or is exclusive to Netweaver version.
    Do you have any information on this?
    Regards,
    Vitor Ramalho

    Vitor,
    As Arnold has confirmed, this issue impacts BPC NW, BPC MS and SAP Financial Consolidation as all three of these products use the same EPM Add-in front end.

  • No of Users in Primavera - Web ??

    There is a requirment come from my client that he want to use progress reporter where all the resources can put there actual hours & see the assigned task ...My question is about Licence part ...for example I have 10 resources so do i need 10 licesces of progress reporter or its something like web where resource will updATE THE HOURS ???
    i have one licence of P6 Enterprise ........Can any one explain me about this,
    Second - about P6 R8.1 web version , i want to create 2 people as a end user in Primvera web, i have one licence of p6 enerprise...
    Now they want to access the primavera web to see the report only so do i need a seperate licence for those 2 end user who are using primavera web if yes & which type of Licence ...
    Regards
    Ravi Gehlot
    Primavera administrator

    I believe PR (Progress Reporter) is $295USD (+22% maintenance/yr). They don't sell concurrent liecenses anymore for full P6 access. So everyone needs their own license for whatever it is they need. TM (Team Member) is an option too and I think that needs a WS (Web Services) license for $500/ea.

  • Primavera - SAP Interface/ integration

    Hi,
    I Need some information and help related to Primavera - SAP Interface/ integration.
    1. what are the Prerequisites?
    2. How it works - means how data will get transferred from primaver to SAP?
    3. whether this transferr is Direct or some third party tool required. if yes then may know the options?
    4. How much it cost approximate?  any option to transfer data without any third party tool?
    5. any documents if you are having related to this please do send on same Id
    Venkatesh

    Dear Venkatesh,
    I had developed and deployed the SAP PS - Primavera Interface in one of my projects. We had developed it using an ABAP program. I hope i answer all your questions to your satisfaction.
    1. what are the Prerequisites?
    I dont think there is any need for some major prerequisites other than the version of the Primavera   software you are using. In our case we had used Primavera version P6. Find out from your business owner as to what all data he needs to upload or download using this interface. You can modify your ABAP program likewise.
    2. How it works - means how data will get transferred from primaver to SAP?
    a) The data between project structures will be mapped one to one basis. Ex. Project in SAP PS is mapped to Project in Primavera, WBS Elements in SAP PS will be mapped to WBS in Primavera, and Activity data in SAP PS is mapped as Activities in Primavera.
    b) Frequency of data transfer will be weekly or Monthly. Every time data is exported from SAP PS to Primavera, new project will be created in Primavera.
    c) Data will be transferred from SAP PS to Primavera in Batch mode and with manual intervention.
    d) Data will be transferred from SAP PS in Comma Separated (.CSV) File format.
    e) Primavera users will access MS-Excel interface to import data from CSV file in Primavera. MS-Excel will have a Macro written in Visual Basic Application (VBA) which will be initiated by user for data transfer.
    f) Primavera Software Development Kit (SDK) will be used for transferring data in Primavera.
    3. whether this transferr is Direct or some third party tool required. if yes then may know the options?
    Hope the above mentioned points answer this question.
    4. How much it cost approximate? any option to transfer data without any third party tool?
    I may not be able to comment on the cost part since this interface was internally developed by our team. This interface is successfully being used by our organization as a reusable component in various projects, thus reducing the efforts considerably.

  • Primavera with Oracel 11g standard edition ( Connecting multiple databases)

    I have installed primavera 8.2 with Oracle 11g standard edition. ( After lots of trial and errors )
    I installed / Created two databases using primavera dbsetup.bat file for creating new database.
    Data base names are PMDB and PMDB2
    Currently i am using PMDB with oracle connection string as "ORCL" and database aliase as PMDB and its working fine
    "C:\app\xxxxx\oradata\orcl" this location contains both databases physically
    I seek your advice how to modify string to access other database ( PMDB1)
    because if i have tried with different aliase name but it connect to same database ie PMDB

    Is this P6 EPPM 8.2 or P6 PPM? Are you using P6 client or web to connect to it?
    If this is P6EPPM then you can log into P6 Administrator and expand database node, create a duplicate node of it and change the database connection parameters. Save it and try to login using P6 Web. Select the correct database from Advance link below Username/Password.
    If this is P6 PPM then define tns entries on your machine for both the databases ans use them to configure P6 client.
