Common Terms and Elements Used to Integrate with Primavera P6

PeopleSoft errors versus warnings

Errors suppress individual data fields from being sent and prevent the record from being sent. Errors will stop processing for the object and must be corrected so that the record can be sent.

Warnings suppress individual data fields from being sent. When this occurs, the record is still sent, but the data field that has the warning will be blank or set to a default value for the warning. These warnings should be corrected so that the next time the data is synchronized, the data field can be sent.

PeopleSoft application errors and warnings

Application errors and warnings occur when data being synchronized violate a business rule in PeopleSoft Program Management or Primavera P6.

PeopleSoft message failure

A message failure is not the same as application errors or transformation errors, where specific error conditions can be checked and reported by the system. A message failure is unexpected, such as a problem with Integration Broker.

PeopleSoft transformation errors and warnings

Transformation errors and warnings occur when data cannot be transformed from Primavera data to PeopleSoft data, or from PeopleSoft data to Primavera data. This may occur when Domain Value Maps (DVMs) are not kept up-to-date. Transformation errors can also be the result of data that is bypassed because its parent is in error.
