40.3.3. Microsoft Project MPX
TimeLiner can read Microsoft Project™ .mpx files directly, without needing a copy of Microsoft Project™
(or any other scheduling software) installed. Primavera SureTrak™, Primavera Project Planner™ and
Asta Power Project™ can all export .mpx files.
Note
Primavera SureTrak™ exports its unique id in the text10 field of the .mpx file, rather than the
unique id field. When linking to an .mpx file exported from SureTrak be sure to specify the text10
field as the unique id field in the Field Selector Dialog.
40.3.4. Primavera Project Planner
This Link requires Primavera Project Planner™ to be installed. The Link status will be displayed as
"Status not available".
Note
TimeLiner will ask for a username and password to link to Primavera Project Planner. If these are
unknown, there is a possibility that these can be retrieved from the P3 shortcut.
To locate this information, right-click on the shortcut used to run P3, and select Properties. The
properties dialog will show the target command line which will look something like
"C:\Program Files\P3\P3.exe /U:Bob"
Here, the username is set as "Bob", and for the purposes of the TimeLiner dialog the password
will be the same.
40.3.5. Primavera Project Management 4 and 5
This Link requires a number of elements to be installed alongside JetStream:
• Primavera Project Manager 4 and 5 product
• ActiveX Data Objects 2.1
• Primavera Software Development Kit (available on the Primavera CDs)
PPM 4 and 5 are database driven, and as such require the Software Development Kit to be installed in
order to set up the ODBC data source link. This can be installed and setup from the Project Management
CD by taking the following steps:
1. Insert Project Management CD, enter the Product Key and accept the License Agreement.
2. Make sure "Primavera Applications or Components" is selected and click "Next".
3. Select "Other Components" and click "Next".
4. Select "Software Development Kit" and click "Next".
5. Continue through clicking "Next" until the install starts.
