About Importing and Exporting Projects
You can import and export information to and from P6 using external files and then share this information with other P6 EPPM users, Oracle Primavera Contractor users, other project management tools (such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel), and your organization's human resource and accounting systems. You can also use external files to archive your projects or create a backup of your database. You must have the Export Project Data project privilege to export projects.
You can import and export project data between P6 and other applications using the following file formats:
- CPP format.
- Oracle Primavera's XML or XER formats which enable you to share project information stored in the P6 EPPM database.
- Microsoft Project XML format which enables you to share information with Microsoft Project 2007, 2010 or 2013.
- UN/CEFACT format.
- IPMDAR format.
- Excel format which enables you to view and amend project data in a spreadsheet.
You can import and export project data every day, week, two weeks, or month by creating and configuring a project scheduled service.
Note: All project data is stored in a central database. You can also import projects using the Primavera XER format in P6 Professional.
For more information on importing and exporting projects, see: P6 EPPM Importing and Exporting Guide.
