Integration Tab of the Application Preferences Dialog Box
Use this tab to apply customized settings for debugging, custom applications, or tighter integration with Open Plan and wInsight.
During the Cost/Schedule import process, the LINK and associated tables are saved in the Cobra temporary folder as a table that is deleted when the process is complete. If you update the Open Plan Resource file or view Cobra data from an Open Plan web window, you must publish the LINK table to the Cobra data source. If the LINK table is not published, the Update OPP Resources feature does not function.

Save temporary integration tables |
When importing CSV files, saving the temporary integration tables allows you to see how the data is interpreted during the import. This can be a valuable debugging tool when problems arise. You can also use these temporary tables for creating custom applications used in the custom hooks. The temporary tables are stored in XML format in the My Documents\ Deltek\Cobra folder. After validation and processing within the temporary tables, the processed data is imported into Cobra. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
Note: The temporary integration tables are stored in the
My Documents\Deltek\Cobra\Logs\Integration directory.

Unrotated code field list |
Use this field to enter unrotated code fields in a comma separated list without spaces. When loading data from unrotated code fields in Open Plan, you must identify which code fields are unrotated so that these code fields are displayed in the Schedule Fields lookup dialog box of the Integration Wizard. When an Open Plan field is added as a source field in PM Compass, the field is automatically unrotated and must be identified as such in Cobra. For example: C1,C2,USER_CHR01 |
wInsight
Field | Description |
---|---|
Export access control to wInsight 8.1 or later |
Select this option to instruct Cobra to export the project's access control information to the wInsight XML file or the Deltek Common Data Exchange (DCDE) file. Using the wInsight wizard The Owner is added to the Contracts section of the wInsight XML file, while the ACL tags are added to the ACL section. The contract owner and access control information is generated using a single project or a master project for a contract and imported to wInsight through manual import and direct transfer. Using the Cost Data wizard Cobra supports exporting of the access control information of both projects and master projects. However, when exporting master projects, only its access control information is exported. The access control information of the sub-projects is not exported. |
