Importing a Project in SDEF Format

Importing an SDEF file to Primavera Cloud is a two-step process. First you must convert the SDEF file to XER, then you can import the XER file into Primavera Cloud. Once the file is imported, the project is accessible using Primavera Cloud.

To convert and import an SDEF file:

  1. Double-click P330XERConvert.exe.

    Refer to SDEF Conversion Utilities for information about where to get the utility.

  2. In the SDEF to XER Project Conversion dialog:
    1. Choose SDEF as the conversion type, then click Next.
    2. Click Browse to select the SDEF file you want to convert, then click Next.
    3. Click Browse to select the XER file you want to overwrite or enter a new XER filename, then click Next.
    4. Click Finish.
  3. Import the XER file to Primavera Cloud.

    For specific instructions on importing XER files, refer to the Import P6 XML or XER Data into Oracle Primavera Cloud topic in Primavera Cloud Help.
