Configuring Baseline in Service Settings

As a project progresses, you might choose to update baseline data without restoring the baseline or creating a new baseline. When a project is in progress, creating a new baseline may not yield accurate comparison results. When you update a baseline, only the data types you select will be updated. You may also create and copy baselines efficiently.

To set your Baseline settings:

Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
Select Services/Baseline.
1. In the Create/Copy baseline section:
  - In the Active Mode field, select true if you want jobs processed continuously until all baselines are created or copied. Select false if you want each baseline created or copied according to the interval.
  - In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before creating or copying the baseline during the next available job (in 1d1h1m1s format, specifying only numbers without letters implies milliseconds).
    The default value is 10s.
    
    Enter a value between 1s and 24d20h31m23s647.
  - In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used to create or copy the baseline on this server. A value of 0 indicates this server will not create or copy baselines.
    The default value is 2.
    
    Enter a value between 0 and 20.
2. In the Update Baseline section:
  - In the Active Mode field, select true if you want jobs processed continuously until all baselines are updated. Select false if you want each baseline updated according to the interval.
  - In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before updating the baseline during the next available job (in 1d1h1m1s format, specifying only numbers without letters implies milliseconds).
    The default value is 10s.
    
    Enter a value between 1s and 24d20h31m23s647.
  - In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used for update the baseline on this server. A value of 0 indicates this server will not update baselines.
    The default value is 2.
    
    Enter a value between 0 and 20.
