External Data Source Procedures
Use these procedures when working with external data sources.
- Merge Multiple Data Sources into a Single Dataset
Merging is not limited to cost/schedule. Any dataset that has an ID structure that corresponds with the activity IDs in the main dataset can be merged. - Set the Microsoft Project Platform Options
You can specify the field that Acumen Forensics should use to uniquely identify an activity, specify that Acumen should import the MPP files directly if you don't have Microsoft Project installed, and modify the default mapping when Acumen imports a project from Microsoft Project. - Import a Primavera P6 File Through Web Services
Use these steps to link to and import a Primavera P6 file through web services. - Set the Oracle Primavera Platform Options
Specify whether you want to calculate baseline values from planned or current values and set the number of seconds before the web service times out. - Assign a P6 Baseline to a P6 Schedule
Assign a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule. Assigning a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule allows you to compare baseline data with the current schedule. - Remove a P6 baseline from a P6 Schedule
Remove an existing P6 baseline from a P6 schedule. - Select a Different P6 Baseline
Select a different P6 baseline for a P6 schedule that already has a baseline assigned. - Assign a Primavera file as Both a Snapshot and Baseline
Assign a Primavera file as both a snapshot and a baseline at the same time. A snapshot allows comparisons between versions of a single project. Assigning a P6 baseline to a P6 schedule allows you to compare baseline data with the current schedule. - Select Text Encoding for Oracle Primavera Imports
Select the Text Encoding field. - Set the Open Plan Platform Options
Enter your username and password so that you don't have to enter them every time that you import an Open Plan project and specify whether you want to identify imported Open Plan code fields using their description, name, ID, or a prompt. - Allow For Float-Based Analysis (Asta PowerProject)
Asta PowerProject files do not contain float values for activities, therefore if float-based analysis is required for an Asta PowerProject in Acumen, you must allow for it before importing the .mdb file.
