Considerations for applications using the Primavera Portfolio Management Open API via COM
Details:
=======
· Installing Primavera Portfolio Management:
Follow the instructions in the relevant 'Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 Install and Upgrade Guide'
· Uninstalling Primavera Portfolio Management:
After uninstalling Primavera Portfolio Management the log files and custom dictionaries are left on the disk under the Primavera Portfolio Management installation directory. You can safely remove these files by deleting the directory tree starting from the Portfolios directory.
· Re-starting the System:
Click the "Start" button of your windows system and choose "programs", under the Primavera Portfolio Management entry there is Portfolio Management Console, use re-start button in order to re-start the system.
· The default login account is "admin" with the password entered when a new database is created via the Primavera Portfolio Management Console.
· Considerations for applications using the PPM Open API via COM
Applications which use the Primavera Portfolio Management (PPM) Open API via any interface (COM, SOAP/RCP or Document/Literal) and were developed and used with previous versions of PPM will continue to operate without the need for recompilation, as Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 provides full binary backwards compatibility for all of the Open API interfaces. New functionality is available only to applications that are written to take advantage of such functionality.
Note however that any process can only load and use one version of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, applications developed with the .NET Framework 1.1 cannot use APIs to communicate with software developed using the .NET Framework 2.0 if this would cause the same process to need to load both versions of the .NET Framework.
This means that if any part of an application that uses the Open API which was developed using .NET Framework 1.1 communicates directly with PPM using the COM API (which is in-process), that part of the application would need to be recompiled to target the .NET Framework 2.0. If on the other hand, the application developed using .NET Framework 1.1, only communicates with PPM using SOAP RPC or Web Services (which are out-of-process) then there is no issue.
Instead of recompiling, it is usually sufficient to ”force” the existing executables to actually use the .NET Framework 2.0 instead of the native version of the .NET Framework for which they were compiled (1.1). This can be achieved by using an application config file with the following content:
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>
The application config file can easily be created using Notepad or something similar. It does not need to be compiled in any way. It should be named with the exact same name as the executable file plus the suffix “.config”. For example: if the application executable file is called “Tester1.exe” then the config file must be named “Tester1.exe.config”. It must be placed in the same directory as the executable file.
The config file “forces” the application to use the .NET Framework 2.0, which would mean that even when using COM (in-process) Open API calls to PPM, there would still be only one version of the .NET Framework involved in the process (.NET 2.0).
