Can anyone list some of practical usages of primavera SDK. For example is it easy and possible to:
1 - Import activity code values and activity code value descriptions from excel to P6
2 - Import Resources from excel to P6,
3 - Any other usage?

I appriciate your practical experiances with SDK which could make it easier to transfer data from excel to P6.

    Roozbeh,
    Using excel SDK, you will almost do everything for Data management. You can setup Activity Codes (global or projects), Resource, Resource Codes, Rates, Baseline Types, Project Codes, Cost Accounts, etc… etc… all dictionaries in Primavera (Dictionary6.xls).
    You can also setup WBS, Activities, resource assignment, update progress etc… etc… (Activity6.xls) and if you know how to write codes you can do almost everything in data management by extracting and updating data available in Primavera Database. You can also create automatic S-Curve by resource or by activity or by WBS.

    Sorry Rodel,

    Unfortunately, my SDK is not working properly. Is it any solution to import new activity codes?

    Thanks

    Izam,
    What is the problem with your SDK? If your SDK not installed properly then you need to use other API like ODBC but must have a good knowledge on database management.

    Izam,
    The login should be the same login as Primavera (i.e. admin). Check what’s the error on Error Tab.

    Izam,
    I believed SDK is not installed on your machine. In order to use excel SDK, SDK system should be installed. You can install this option when installing Primavera.
