Microsoft Project Considerations
Unifier uploads Microsoft Project (MPP) information directly into an existing schedule sheet.
- To use the Activity Calendar from Microsoft Project, first create a calendar in Unifier with the same name as the external calendar. For more information, see Create a custom calendar in the schedule manager in the Unifier Managers User Guide.
- To import Resource Assignments from Microsoft Project, first add the same MPP resource types to the SYS Resource Type data set in Unifier. Oracle recommends using MPP standard resource types: Work, Material, and Cost. (See Working with Data Definitions.)
- Configuring CBS code segments is not necessary for Microsoft Project. See CBS code options for Primavera XML and Microsoft Project XML.
Overall steps to import third-party schedule files
- Save the third-party schedule files.
For Microsoft Project files (this is only available through the user interface):
- Save the files as MPP, or export the Microsoft Project file to CSV or XML.
- Use this file as a template (the MPP files do not require mapping).
For Primavera XML files (this is only available through the Web Services):
- Export the Primavera file to XML.
- Modify the XML file to use with Web Services, as described in the Unifier Integration Interface Guide.
- Select Import distribution data from external source (for more information, see Select the activity budget distribution profile in the Unifier Managers User Guide).
- Define data mapping.
- Import the MPP, CSV, or XML files to create or modify schedule sheet activities.
