External scheduling interface improvements
These functions have changed for the external scheduling interface:
- Schedule Mode
- ESP User
- User Interface
- Schedule Mode
- When exporting a project, the schedule mode for external scheduling was always set to Automatic. Importing from an external scheduling package resulted in recalculated dates. Now, the Schedule Mode parameter has been added to the Project Planning Parameters (tppss0500m000) session, which can be set to Auto Scheduled or Manually Scheduled. The defaulted value can be modified for a specific project activity in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session. The value used on the project activity is exported to the external scheduling package through the External Scheduler Interface (tppss2231m000) session.
- ESP User
- When creating interface data for the ESP interface, the user who makes the connection is stored. If the project was assigned to a different user or the user left the company, this user could not be changed. In the ESP Project Overview (tppss2531m000) session, you can now change the User ESP if the project is Free or Active.
- User Interface
- The interface data of the ESP interface included a UI only for the
project level through the ESP Project Overview
(tppss2531m000) session. To better analyze issues when interfacing data, the
interface has been extended with options to display the data from the interface tables
using these sessions:
- External Scheduling Tasks (tppss2133m000)
- External Scheduling Task Relations (tppss2135m000)
- External Scheduling Resources (tppss2134m000)
- External Scheduling Calendars (tppss2132m000)
- External Scheduling OBS (tppss2136m000)
These sessions can be started from the menu in the ESP Project Overview (tppss2531m000) session.
