Baseline Export with Current Schedule

In the Open Standard

When I have tried to export a schedule with an assigned baseline, the baseline does not show up in the exported file. I went to a training where the instructor said the baseline should be exported along with the file, but when he tried to do it in the classroom it didn’t work. I’m wondering if there is some setting I’m missing. If anyone has had this problem and can offer a solution, I would be eternally grateful!

    Kari,
    Who ever your instructor is... definitely wrong. You can copy, create reflection with the baseline but not in export function. Your instructor might not read Primavera reference guide.
    It clearly stated: “When you export project data, some data is not exported, including timesheets and baselines. You can export secure codes and secure code assignments to XML format, if you have the correct access; however, you cannot export them to XER format.”

    The only way you can export baseline is by restoring it and export together or separately with current project into XER.

    Thank you, Rodel, for clearing that up for me. I will definitely pass that on to the misinformed instructor!

    Rodel, Trying to understand

    Rodel,

    Trying to understand your words:

    The only way you can export baseline is by restoring it and export together or separately with current project into XER.

    The soultion seems to be exporting separately BUT first I need to seed the baseline. How can I see the baseline as a separate project in my directory ??

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Carmen

    Carmen

    When you restore a baseline, it detaches it from the assigned programme and shows up in your project list as "programme number -B1" Just export that as an xer with the original programme and then add a baseline by clicking on 'convert another programme to a new baseline of the current project' then select your B1 version of the programme.

    Regards

    Roger

    Hi Carmen Project--> Maintain

    Hi Carmen

     

    Project--> Maintain Baselines--> Restore (Click on the required baseline to be restored).

    This detaches the Baseline from the project.

     

    I feel P6 has complicated a lot of functions which were very easy in P3.

    Shareef,

     

    You make my FRIDAY, Thanks, It works.

     

    I am having a positive execrcise with the Client and we exchange the schedules with the purpose of critical path analysis.

    I need to try option Claim Digger. The most important is to detect what he has been changing in order to achieve a Mechanical Completion DATE which It looks like impossible to achieve.

     

    Bye

    Is it any easier to export

    Is it any easier to export the baseline with the project in P6 8.1 Pro (stand alone), or do we still need to restore and then export?  I am not finding any other way and was just hoping someone else had.  Thanks.
