Primavera Gateway is an application that facilitates sharing and synchronizing project, resource, and other data between Primavera applications and enterprise applications. By using providers, which are used as a channel to connect with the corresponding enterprise application, Primavera Gateway enables you to combine management and scheduling functionality of Primavera applications with other enterprise products. Providers reside on either side of a data flow connecting a source application with a destination application.
Data can be exchanged between P6 and Unifier by using any of the following interfaces:
- Using the P6 EPPM application user interface
For more details on how this is accomplished, refer to the P6 EPPM user documentation.
- Using the Primavera Gateway user interface
Gateway administrators and developers can also set up business flows and users can schedule synchronization jobs between the two applications.
The following providers are delivered with Primavera Gateway:
- Unifier provider
