Determine What Business Flows are Required for the Provider

Business flows define an end-to-end synchronization. Flows are uni-directional. A flow can define synchronization of data in one direction only. They copy data from a source application to a destination application. Determine what flows are required for your provider as follows:

  1. Identify what business objects are supported in Gateway for a Primavera provider.
  2. In your application, identify what business objects you wish to integrate with using Gateway.
  3. Identify the flow types that are to be supported by your provider and specify these in the provider.xml file. The flow types supported are:
    • Import Master Data
    • Export Master Data
    • Import Project Data
    • Export Project Data
    • Master Data (for data integration between distinct P6 environments)
    • Project Data (for data integration between distinct P6 environments)
  4. Define the role of the application with which data is to be integrated by specifying the FlowSide element as any of the following values:
    • Source
    • Destination

    For example, if the role of the P6 provider in the data flow is that of a Host, then set FlowSide = Source in the Provider description XML file.
