Work online or offline to define and scrub your XER files and now, in the new release, XML files. Version 5 makes scrubbing files even easier for schedulers.
XML support! Now the P6-Scrubber can scrub XER or XML files.
Simple prefix - lets you add a prefix to global objects such as resources, code types, UDFs, calendars, etc. to identify where it came from.
XML sanitation - when scrubbing an XML file, its contents are saved accordingly to the XML schema file. If the file cannot be imported into P6 EPPM because of schema errors, processing the file with the P6-Scrubber may fix it.
Version control - setting the version you are uploading back into P6 is now in the GUI for easier control for both XER and XML importing.
Parent role & resource - to land all the resources and roles in the scrubber file under a specific role or resource in the P6 database.
OBS definition - it is possible to choose an OBS that will be associated to the project when it is imported when scrubbing XER files.
SSO/ SAML support - if you are using SSO/ SAML for your P6 Cloud environment, you can perform SSO/ SAML login with the P6-Scrubber.
UI improvements - the last imported project (or projects) is shown in the UI, and it is possible to access the scrubbed files directly from the main page of the application.
Our latest version of the P6-Loader brings the ability to automate the backups out of P6 even from the Oracle P6 Cloud.
July 14, 2022
Our latest version of the P6-Loader brings the ability to automate the backups out of P6 even from the Oracle P6 Cloud.
Automation! The P6-Loader can now export files to the P6-Loader Excel and P6 XML (or both) formats on a daily and/or weekly and/or monthly frequency.
Global data automation - if automation is turned on for a given database, a full export of the database's global data is performed every day - it includes EPS, OBS, resources, roles, users, code dictionaries, UDF types, risk definitions, etc.
The list of tasks is not cleared when the P6-Loader is restarted.
P6 XML support - the P6-Loader can now export files to the P6 XML format.
Restore and administer your data more easily - with the ability to download the project and global files for a database as it was at a given point in time, recovering lost data and administering the database becomes much easier.
Resource assignment duplicate handling! It is now possible to load resource assignments even if you have duplicates in your P6 database. You can use the internal ID of the resource assignment or pick one or more UDFs to help the P6-Loader match the right one.
EPS caching of the list of projects shown during an extraction operation.
Fixes to some UI issues with the scrollbar disappearing.
PCM-Archiver version 6.3 adds support for Primavera Expedition.
July 11, 2022
PCM-Archiver version 6.3 adds support for Primavera Expedition.
Support for Primavera Expedition down to version 8.0 - may also work with earlier versions.
PDF generation is not supported on Primavera Expedition at this time.
If you need to archive Primavera Expedition and the generated PDFs are important to you, we still may be able to help - please contact us.
Archival of Primavera Expedition attachments of all types, including PDFs, is fully functional in this version.
More charts. More insight. Understand your projects in ready to use, customizable reports in Power BI, Tableau or ODV.
February 14, 2022
More charts. More insight. Understand your projects in ready to use, customizable reports in Power BI, Tableau or ODV.
New charts for resource allocation - see at a glance which resources are overallocated, then select a resource to see which dates are affected, which projects are using it, and how much float you have in each.
Gantt charts - select a resource and view how it is allocated across a series of projects.
Milestone Trending - see any of your milestones across your portfolio: where they're planned to be, where they are now, and if they're behind, how quickly you can expect to get caught up.
Green-ups are now expandable. Want to know the percent completion for each activity in a category and not just the category itself? Now you can.
More trending! Is your project headed in the right direction? Perhaps you've had a major setback and are getting caught-up, or perhaps you're falling steadily behind. Looking at current numbers only tells half the story. P6-Reporter reports are the only way to see where your Primavera P6 projects have been so that you can tell where they are going. In here you'll find trending information for all costs, finish date and duration variances, as well as CPI and SPI over the course of your project.
PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.
December 20, 2021
PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.
The date format used in file and folder names is now configurable.
Naming rule overrides can now be defined in a separate file, making it easier to keep track of which rules have been customized and which are the defaults.
More specific naming rules always take precedence over less specific rules, allowing naming rules to be defined in any order.
Attachments with illegal characters in the file name can now be downloaded with PCM-Archiver. They will be renamed automatically.
When using force the regeneration check box with incremental extraction, the whole document type will be re-extracted, making it easier to deal with changes to naming rules.
The out-of-the-box naming rules for drawings have been improved so that the drawing title is included in the file and folder names.
Additional checks included in progressive and incremental extraction modes to ensure that PCM-Archiver does not make any changes to files outside of the archive location that it controls.
Safran Risk has released v21. Read about all the exciting new features.
December 10, 2021
Safran Risk has released v21. Read about all the exciting new features.
Correlation of Activity uncertainty - It’s now possible to correlate the impacts of activity uncertainties in the correlation matrix.
New Cost Module Functionality - Risks can now be mapped to cost elements at the summary level. Allowed for any number of fields instead of just Base and Quantity via the new “Input Fields” functionality. Multiple different groupings can now be applied to the same cost model.
New Import of External Files - The import of external files has been completely re-written. It will import files from P6 (.xer and .xml) and Microsoft Project (.xml and .mpp).
Switch databases without having to re-start Safran Risk - It’s now possible to switch databases without restarting Safran Risk. The database connections can be saved.
Probabilistic Branching has been added. This allows the model to turn on/off branches during the risk analysis. Functionality has also been added to the scripting to make this easier via a script.

PCM-Archiver version 6 allows you to save even more time when resuming previously-interrupted extractions.
November 30, 2021
PCM-Archiver version 6 allows you to save even more time when resuming previously-interrupted extractions.
Incremental extraction - There's no longer any need to re-extract documents that were previously successfully extracted when an extraction is interrupted partway through a document type, for example because it was cancelled or aborted due to error.
Document types are listed by name in the web interface instead of by acronym, which makes it easy to find the ones you are interested in.
Improved naming rules and behaviour now ensure that each document will be written into a unique folder.
