The Status tab of the Admin dialog box enables you to view status information about services, calculations, primary and maintenance task scheduling, and functions error logs. Also use this tab to import data into the PPM database.
Status Tab Components:
- Primavera Portfolio Management Service: Displays the status of the PPM service. Possible statuses are Running or Not Running. A checkmark beside Primavera Portfolio Management Service indicates that the service is running. An X indicates that the service is not running.
- Scheduled Tasks: Displays the following list of predefined server tasks:
- Import Data: Imports data from PSRAW staging tables to the PPM database (cells and phases).
- Frequent Periodic Update (Portfolios): Updates the contents of query based portfolios according to the frequent schedule.
- Standard Periodic Update (Portfolios): Updates the contents of query based portfolios according to the standard schedule.
The Scheduled Tasks table displays the date, start, and end times of the last task run, and the time the next task is scheduled to run. A checkmark beside the task name indicates that the last task ran successfully. An X indicates that the last task failed.
- Custom Periodic Update (Portfolios): Updates the contents of query based portfolios according to a custom schedule.
Note: PPM includes six predefined server tasks. Most tasks run once a day at the specified time. The PPM Professional Service team can define tasks to run at different intervals. The tasks that are of regular concern to the PPM user appear in the Scheduled Tasks table in the Status tab. The tasks that are generally transparent to the user are accessible from the Maintenance Details button in the Status tab.
- Primavera Portfolio Management Maintenance: A checkmark beside Primavera Portfolio Management Maintenance indicates that the last maintenance tasks ran successfully. An X indicates that at least one of the last tasks failed.
- Maintenance Details: Click this button to display the Server Maintenance Details dialog box. Refer to Server Maintenance Details Dialog Box for more information about it.
- Action and Function Queues: In this display, two terms are referenced: Actions and Functions. An action is any user operation that causes a single, or multiple function-triggering to occur. For example, updating a cell can affect another single cell, or trigger hundreds of calculations.
- A checkmark beside Action and Function Queues indicates that the function engine is running, but no calculations are currently being performed. A checkmark with a blinking circle next to it indicates that the function engine is running and calculations are currently being performed An X indicates that the function engine is not running.
- The Action and Function Queues displays the following:
- Completed: All actions prior to this date are completed. If the queue is empty, the current date and time are shown.
- In Queue: The number of actions that are currently in the queue, waiting for processing.
- In Progress: The number of actions that are being processed. The number of functions comprising the actions appears in parentheses. In addition, the current percentage and number of completed functions is displayed, as well as the mount of time elapsed since processing began.
- Last error on: Displays the date and time of the last error.
- Functions error log: The functions error log can contain two types of messages: Errors and Warnings. When used in a production environment, the function log should be set to include Errors Only. During development use, the functions log may be set to include Errors and Warnings, as the warnings help to debug functions.
- Open Log: Click Open Log to display the Functions Log Report. For more information about this report, refer to Functions Log Report.
- Functions Integrity: Click Functions Integrity to test the integrity of all the functions. For more information about this report, refer to Functions Integrity Report.
- Import data now: Enables you to import data at a time other than during the predefined Import Data task. This involves activating the data transforms that are defined for selected categories and cells. Data is extracted to the PPM database and then updated according to the scheduling information for the relevant categories and cells. You can use the Import Data feature to import the data transforms' output into their target categories. Note that you still need to manually run the data transforms to generate the extracted data.
- Category: In the Category field, via the Select a Category pop-up list, select the category to update.
- All: Select All to import the selected category data for all the items and portfolios.
- Item: In the Item field, via the Select an Item or Portfolio pop-up list, select the specific Item or Portfolio for which to import the data of the selected category.
- Import: Click Import to import the data to the PPM database.
Note: The actual import process is performed by the server in the background, and may take a few minutes. You can disable this option via the Import Data module, accessible through the Setup module. Refer to Setting Module Security in Security.
- Close: Closes the Admin dialog box.
