transfer EPS from P3e to P6

Tamer
P6 is the current version of P3e. On your cd’s you can find scripts to upgrade your database to P6.
Study the readme-files first!
It is not possible to migrate directly from P3e 4.1 to P6. Even P6 and P6.1 has a different database - and the migration requires an upgrade.
Good luck!

Dear Sir
thank you for your sooner replay
could you please tell me steps in details
cause i do not know more about primavera and database
so please tell me from where this scripts and readme
thank you

Tamer
Among your installation CD’s on the first you can find the script for update from previous version. CD 3 is the documentation CD with an admin manual. Please read this first. If you don’t understand, it will be better to let your IT staff do it or to enter EPS and OBS by yourself. The risk to destroy data would be too big.

XER file can contain many projects.

Good luck!

Xer files contain 1 project only
if i export more projects in export screen i should click in only 1 project

any way tell me how can i transfer many projects by xer files

thank you

No disturb. If you’ll open more projects you can export them in one file. just select all projects within the export wizzard.

In Most installations the EPS isn’t big. It’s faster to type in the new db than to write a script. For a script you’ll need IT and access to to (AND knowledge of) Enterprise Manager.

Dear Sir.

The data model is the same under ORA and MS SQL. For an upgrade from one to the other you’ll need a specialist from your Primavera rep. For upgrade have look into your CD no.3 Documentation --> technical ... --> manual upgrade.
Within the technical documentation you can find the schemas of all tables and a printout in A0-format of the data model.
For the EPS have a look into the table PROJECT, data item "project_flag", which indicates if a record idenfities an EPS-node or a project.
Hope that helps!
