Transferring Data between Applications: Example

This example demonstrates how to synchronize data between applications and monitor the data transfer. For the purposes of this example, let's assume that you want to export project data from P6 Deployment into Prime Deployment using a synchronization called Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime. Let's also assume that you will use the Export Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime business flow.

Note: Always synchronize master data between applications before you synchronize project data. This will ensure that each deployment has the information necessary to synchronize project data.

Prerequisites

This example assumes that the following prerequisites have been completed:

Move Data between Applications

  1. After you log into Primavera Gateway, select Synchronizations.
  2. Select Add.
  3. In the Add Synchronization wizard:
    1. Enter Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime in the Synchronization Name field.
    2. Select Export Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime from the Business Flow list.
    3. Select P6 Deployment from the Source list.
    4. Select Prime Deployment from the Destination list.
    5. Select Next.
    6. Review the parameters and select Next.

      Note: The parameter value selected in the synchronization is unaffected although you may change the parameter’s default value when editing the business flow.

    7. Review the Synchronization Summary and select Save.
  4. (Optional) Select the Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime synchronization and select Review.
    1. On the Review Summary, select a business object to review a list of fields associated with the business object.
    2. After completing the review, select Approve to set up the synchronization.or select Reject.
  5. Select the Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime synchronization and select Run.

Monitor a Synchronization Job

After you run the synchronization, you can check to see that it is working properly by finding the synchronization on the Monitoring page.

  1. Select Monitoring.
  2. In the Filter lists, select All Jobs by Type and Export Project Data. The synchronization jobs will be filtered using these selections.
  3. Select the Job link for Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime.
  4. Select Convert from Source to Gateway format and then select Gateway Format. Data for this flow step, including information if there is a failure, will display.
  5. Select Close.

Edit a Synchronization Job Schedule

After monitoring the synchronization job, if you are satisfied with the synchronization, you can schedule times when the synchronization will run.

  1. Select Synchronizations.
  2. Select the Synchronize Project Data from P6 to Oracle Primavera Prime synchronization and select Edit Schedule.
  3. In the Edit Schedule wizard, schedule a date and time when the synchronization will be run:

    Note: Synchronizations can also be run on demand by selecting the synchronization and selecting Run.

    1. Select Weekly from the Frequency list.
    2. Select Tuesday from the list of weekdays.
    3. Enter 03/04/2015 15:00 in the Starts field.

      Time should be entered in a twenty-four hour format.

    4. Select the End after occurrence(s) option and enter 8 in the field.

      Note: You can disable an existing schedule by clicking Disable in the Edit Schedule wizard. To enable a disabled schedule, click Enable in the Edit Schedule wizard.

    5. Select Save.
