SDEF Conversion Utilities

You can exchange project data with other Primavera users by exporting projects to Oracle Primavera Proprietary Exchange Format (XER). You can then convert data between the XER and SDEF formats using the following utilities:

SDEF to XER (P330XERConvert.exe)
XER to SDEF (XERP330Convert.exe)

Locate the conversion utilities folder here:

P6 Professional:<local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional
P6 Standalone: <local drive>\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional

Use these SDEF conversion utilities when you want to:

Exchange project data with contractors and owners who do not use Oracle Primavera products.
Provide project data in the SDEF format whenever required by your contract.
Caution: Personal information (PI) may be at risk of exposure. Depending on local data protection laws organizations may be responsible for mitigating any risk of exposure.
