    Pattlink File is XER reader and builder. You can convert XER to excel using this file and modify then create another XER and import to Primavera. The user of this Pattlink File must understand Primavera Database otherwise it will not work.

    Hi Anbin,You can use thouse

    Hi Anbin,

    You can use thouse files if you have installed Primavera SDK on your system. You need to instal SDK and then you can login using your username into Primavera. You can then upload data in Primavera from excel.

    Regards

    the pattlink reference that

    the pattlink reference that Oracle puts on document has nothing to do with anything other than how Oracle identifies certain files.

    The files you reference Activity6x,Dictionary 6x are part of the SDK which is basically macro-enabled excel files which allow you to do the following.

    Once you install the Primavera SDK you can open the activity6x file in excel and connect to the Primavera database instance the SDK is linked to and add activity level information to any project already in the database you are using.. the get buttons get the information or data associated with the projects activities and the set buttons allow you to make changes to what activities are shown in the project, how they are linked and other attributes of the project schedule you are building. The dictionary.xls file is also an SDK file which allows you to setup project or EPS level data used for any P6 instance you are setting up. You can use this to define your EPS, Project codes, etc...

    the pattlink is only a reference Oracle gives these files but they have nothing to do with the functionality of these files. You need to educate yourself in how the Primavera SDK excel files work before using them or you can easily damage the Database of projects for Primavera.

    If you want any other information contact me at john.murzin@kiewit.com and I will be heppy to explain this further.

    Be careful when using the SDK as novices using it in any version of it i.e. activity.xls, dictionary.xls, project.xls can screw things up more than help. If you use these files properly they are very helpful. If you do not good luck as you may screw something up that you do not expect to.

     

    Thanks,
