Working with Primavera XML Project Import/Export
You can import projects in Primavera XML format or Microsoft Project XML format.
When you import Primavera XML projects several considerations apply:
- You are not required to have All Resources access. The import process continues even for users without full resource access.
- You can import resources at or below your access level in your resource hierarchy. This includes the ability to create new resources at or below your level.
- If the import would result in the creation of resources above your level in the resource hierarchy, it will not continue.
- If the import would result in the creation of resources at or below your level in your resource hierarchy, and this new data is in conflict with existing resource data, it will not continue. For example, if resource IDs are in conflict.
- To prevent the import process from attempting to create new resources in P6, select the Do Not Import option for Resources. This option will still match existing resources and allow their assignments to be imported and updated, but it will not import new resources.
- Even when you have sufficient project security access, if you do not have the proper resource access, you will not be able to assign or modify a resource above your access level in the resource hierarchy to a project to which the resource is already assigned.
- Even when you have sufficient project security access, if you do not have the proper resource access, you will not be able to export projects, in their entirety, when resources are above your access level in the resource hierarchy. The export will not necessarily fail, but data will be limited since not all resources in the project can be included.
