| Status: Reviewed |
| Version(s): 5.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.2.1, 7.0 |
|
Why does the primary baseline Object Id through the Integration API using the “getCurrentBaselineProjectObjectId()” method return a null value? |
|
The getCurrentBaselineProjectObjectId() method maps to project.sum_base_proj_id which is not populated until the project is summarized.
Therefore, the getCurrentBaselineProjectObjectId() method will return null if the project has not been summarized.
Note: The loadCurrentBaselineProject() method will load the primary baseline regardless of whether the project has been summarized.

JobManager
The Job Manager is used to invoke all jobs, whether asynchronous (Schedule, Summarize, Apply Actuals) or synchronous (Copy Project). It is retrieved for a particular session by calling Session.getJobManager(). You can check the status of a particular asynchronous job by calling getJobStatus and passing in the ID of the job returned when the job was created. Other methods exist for deleting a job and getting a list of all jobs.
Note: Asynchronous jobs created using the Job Manager are serviced by the Primavera Job Service, which runs as a Windows NT/2000/XP service. If you have not installed the Primavera Job Service, see the Administrator’s Guide for instructions on how to install the service on a Windows machine.

|
How to create a root EPS using the Integration API |
|
The required fields for creating an EPS are:
Id
Name
ParentObjectId or OBSObjectId
To create a non-root EPS, the EPS’s ParentObjectId must be specified. To create a root EPS, since the ParentObjectId would be null, the EPS’s OBSObjectId must be specified instead. The reason behind this is if it is not a root EPS, it will inherit the OBSObjectId of the parent unless otherwise specified.
Here is sample code to create a Root EPS using the Integration API:
//Set variables for New EPS
String sEPSID = “Create EPS”;
String sEPSName = “Test Create”;
//Get OBS element. In this sample, it is getting the first OBS Object ID, but a where clause can be entered to get a specific OBS Object ID
BOIterator boiOBS = gom.loadOBS( new String[] { “ObjectId”, “Name”,”ParentObjectId” }, null, null );
OBS obs = (OBS)boiOBS.next();
ObjectId objIdOBS = obs.getObjectId();
EPS eps = new EPS(session); //session specified in other code
//Set required fields for create
eps.setId( sEPSID );
eps.setName( sEPSName );
eps.setOBSObjectId(objIdOBS );
//Create EPS
ObjectId objIdEPS = eps.create(); |

The ability to include the Title of User Defined Fields, Activity Codes, Project Codes, or Resource Codes in the XML output is in an existing enhancement request.
Workaround:
XSLT can be used to transform the XML document into whatever it needs to look like. However, if the need is for the XML document to conform to a valid schema, XSLT can be used to transform our schema file (or edit it directly). Programs like XMLSpy, Microsoft’s Office 2003 with Front Page Graphical XSL editor, and JAXP with an XML transformer can be used.

|
Are the Budgeted (i.e. Planned) Units/Cost fields available to be spread for the Project, WBS, or EPS in the Integration API? |
|
The Project, WBS, and EPS tables only show Summary information. The Summary Tables only store Baseline, Actual, Remaining and At Complete data (no Planned or Budget).
This was available in the SDK because the SDK does not use Summary Data to provide its spreads, even on Project, WBS and EPS. Everything is live.
Project Management, myPrimavera, and the Integration API use Summary data on its spreads for Project, WBS and EPS. Everything is stored. Since Planned Units/Cost is not stored in the Summary tables, it is not exposed in any of the Summary Data Dependent features of all the applications. |
|
This issue is an existing Enhancement Request. It will be considered for a future release
UPDATE: In Primavera Integration API 5.0 Service Pack 4, spread planned fields were added to the Project and WBS objects. At this time, it is still an enhancement request for these fields to be added to the EPS object. For EPS, use the workarounds below.
Workaround1:
The BaselinePlanned Units/Cost is exposed. To get this data populated, the current project has to be assigned as the baseline. Once it is assigned, then the Baseline Planned fields will be populated (i.e. BaselinePlannedCost, etc.). See Solution ID: prim30622 for more information on how to do this. This is for the Integration API 5.0 only since the ability to assign a baseline is new to 5.0.
Workaround2:
Use the live spreads of the child object (i.e. Resource Assignments) and “rollup” the Planned Units/Cost to the EPS levels. |

The ability to retrieve the WBS Object Id directly from a Project object is an existing Enhancement Request. It will be considered for a future release
Workaround:
Load a child WBS of the Project and use the child’s getParentObjectID() method to get the Project level WBS Object ID. Then set the activity’s WBSObjectId to that. Some sample code for doing this is below:
//Load Project into BOIterator and set a Project object to myProject
BOIterator boProj = gom.loadProjects(Project.getWritableFields(), “Id = ‘AddActs’”, null);
Project myProject = (Project) boProj.next();
//Load Child WBS
