Primavera P6 Professional- EPS

Building an EPS is located under the Admin Menu.  I take it that you are using the client/server version of P8 Version 8.  Are you aware that Primavera has decided that you don’t need any of the Admin Menu features?  In Version 8, you need to run the web version to access these (including cost accounts as well as the EPS.)  Primavera removed these features from the client/server version and called the result, “P6 Professional”.  Kind of a sick joke, isn’t it?

Take my advice and ‘go back’ to Version 7, Service Pack 3 of P6.  It may not have the name, “Professional” tacked on to the end but all of the features are there.

I was wondering if a ‘rumor’ about P6 Version 8 (both web & client/server) is true.  Did Primavera remove the ability to save and restore XER backup files in this release?  After accumulating 10 years of XER backup files, are we supposed to just throw them away?  I would appreciate it if a P6 Version 8 user would confirm this.

Hi Ronald;

thanks for your reply, the import/ export (even for the previous versions of Primavera) is still valid in P6 v8. however after seeking more info in the internet, I reached the same conclusion that the EPS modification has been removed from the "P6 professional", I don't know why oracle had made that!

People like you shall not be granted vote, only voice. Access privileges is only for top management (those with the money), you shall be un-empowered. 

Old school management theory shall prevail. Lower management is not capable. Not even network administrator shall give you access unless you pay for the real thing.

Hi,

I second what Ronald said. i have been using P6 for years and removing an important functionality like making an EPS isn't acceptable. You are better off downgrading to P6v7.
